Isang tao’t kalahati na akong stay-at-home-mom.  Sa panahong iyon, marami akong matatawag na mga bangungot sa kusina o kitchen nightmares sa sa wikang Ingles. Marami akong naging mga proyekto sa larangan ng pagluluto ang AYAW KO ang kinalabasan.

I’ve been a stay-at-home-mom (SAHM) for a year and a half now.  In that length of time, I’ve had quite a number of kitchen nightmares. I’ve had several cooking projects, the result of which, I didn’t like at all.

Ang pinakaunang beses kong paggawa ng leche flan ay ganito ang kinalabasan.  Butas-butas at talaga namang masakit sa mata (pero in fairness, masarap sa panlasa!).

The first time I made leche flan, the finished product looked like this.  It was a total disaster, at least, as far as looks are concerned.   It did taste good though!  Promise!

Ito pa ang isang palpak na leche flan.  Sumubok akong gumawa ng leche flan na puro organic ang sangkap at pula lamang ng itlog ang ginagamit.  Ang tagal-tagal na sa lutua’y ayaw pang mabuo!  Sa aking pagkainip, sinandok ko na lamang ang leche flan mula sa mga hulamahan at inilipat sa maliliit na baso.  Nag-gel naman sila ng kaunti nang ipasok sa refrigerator.  At least, hindi tuluyang nasayang!  Masarap pa naman!  E ang mahal ng organic na mga sangkap!

I have another failed leche flan story.  I tried to make leche flan using only organic ingredients and purely egg yolks.  It took forever for the leche flan to cook.  After waiting for so long, I gave up and decided to just scoop out the flan from the molds and transferred them to small glasses.  They gelled a little after they were refrigerated.  At least, it didn’t go to waste.  It tasted good, as it should!  Organic ingredients are quite costly, you know!

Dahil mga pula lamang ng itlog ang ginamit ko sa leche flan sa taas (ikalawang litrato), ang daming naiwang puti ng itlog.  Ginawa kong meringue ang mga ito para hindi masayang.  Ok naman ang kinalabasan ngunit reject pa rin para sa akin.  Alam ko kasing may igaganda pa ang itsura ng mga ito. 

Because I used purely egg yolks for the leche flan in the 2nd photo, I had a lot of egg whites, which I didn’t want to go to waste.  So I made them into meringues.  While the finished products was generally ok, I wasn’t 100% percent satisfied.  I knew they could look better!

Ilang lamang ang mga ito sa aking mga kapalpakan sa kusina.

These are just three of my failed projects in the kitchen.

May isa pa akong ayaw DITO.

Happy Huwebes!
