CREAM PUFF II
a taste of guam --- remember guam --- cream puff ---paulaq --- tinaktak --- pound cake
OMG....that coconut pastry cream was out of this world! I decided not to make the choux again, otherwise, I would seriously gain a gazillion pounds---in addition to the 7 I've gained since 4th of July....ugh!!!
Well, I did make tinaktak today.....and the pound cake I recipe from A TASTE OF GUAM is baking as I write.
The tinaktak (ground meat & veggies w/ coconut milk) was delish.....and the pound cake is excellent!
At some point I hope to get seriously motivated with my workouts....I have not quit, just not as often, as long, or as intense......so goes my life, a round table of exercise, food, and quilting.
Esta ki,

CREAM PUFF
crown bakery, guam---- a taste of guam----remember guam----paulaq.com
Ah, biting into that humungous cream puff from Crown Bakery, Guam............yummy memories! I just made the pastry cream filling and will make the actual puffs for breakfast tomorrow! I will also make coconut cream puffs! Oh, how about chocolate frosting on top? Either way, it will be like coconut cream pie, hand held version........or, "chocolate coverd coconut doughnut" cream puff........or, the very basic, though delish, CREAM PUFF.
Till the morning!

GUAM LIBERATION CELEBRATIONS
guam cookies CHAMORRO FOOD www.paulaq.com
Ah, I stayed up all night wrapping cookies! Every bag had roskette, guyuria, and Nan Chong's cookies! They were all delish......my hips weren't too happy at all though! I sent a big box off to a friend in Texas. She will be bringing them down to Killeen's liberation party!
The Fayetteville liberation will be this weekend as well. I'll have to bake the remaining dough on Thursday.
I reflect back to when I coordinated a liberation party in Germany......year 1999 I believe. Lots of fun, lots of work, lots of dessert! It was so much fun because many folks had to travel hours....then we'd camp-out for the night!
Got to check the chicken kaddo on the stove...

CHAMPULADO
www.paulaq.com chamorro recipes guam food
This chocolate rice pudding can be eaten cold or hot.....tastes better when hot! My friend Nancy loves champulado. She and her fam visited last week and this dessert was her lone request. Needless to say, 2 cups of rice makes a lot of pudding.......some still in my fridge. Champulado is very comforting: rice, milk, sugar, cocoa, thickened......mmmmm!
