Bread

Bread – The process of adding a coating to foods, usually for frying or baking. The food is usually first dipped in flour, then a mixture of egg and water, and finally very fine bread crumbs, corn meal or cracker crumbs. It’s a good idea to let the coated food refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before frying to ensure that the coating will stick.

Happy Father’s Day!!!

My Father’s Day was the best! I spent it at my grandparents house, with my loving family as well as my cousins and their family. I decided to make a D-A-D cake which I got in http://jas.familyfun.go.com/recipefinder/display?id=50245. I tweaked so that I made it my version all by scratch. Instead of making it a chocolate cake a made it a plain vanilla cake.  Since the website’s batter was too small to fit the father’s huge appetites and the other guests’, I had to double it. Instead of chocolate icing I replaced it with homemade vanilla whip cream, and I made it a bit more healthy by adding assorted fruits and slivered almonds. Every one enjoyed the cake, especially the event, where the whole family gets together and celebrates our loving father, or to me fathers. This picture is with my dad (left), grandpa (right), and I (middle) holding the cake.
