Oooh My Sweet God!

AHUEVO!
First allow me to apologize for my extreme excitement but you need to understand that the these(referring to the pic bellow this text.) is a very uncommon sight where I live in. Or maybe it was common and I hadn't realized it yet because my interest in cooking started not-so-long ago. 
But man oh man was I ecstatic when I came across this huge pile of pumpkins in my local supermarket.  


And you know what came to mind? Everything I could create with them!  
And then of course, the three babies that made my day... 


Sugar Pumpkins = ? PUMPKIN PIE OF COURSE! 
It's not even October and I will be able to indulge myself and my family and new and old friendships with the deliciousness of homemade pumpkin pie. 

Do I hear your mouths watering already!? 


A huge apology for the crappy photos... they were taken with my mobile so they could reach facebook and twitter in time ;)

Sublime!

 Hehe 
I am awesome, 
So the wonderful pretty state of Puebla (where this delicious Mexican Chillies were first created...) has stated that the Chiles en Nogada season is officially back. YAY! 
And I just had to give a go at this delicious teat another time. 
Practice makes perfect and having cooked for over a year... let's just say that my time 
has been greatly invested n.n 


I made the Nogada my way this time n.n And had loads of fun experimenting in the lab --otherwise called the kitchen, with yummy ingredients I thought would work out with the sauce. 
I made the stuffing with little variations of the original I made last year and it all turned out all right. 
The only thing that might've changed was that I didn't clean the Chilies really well this time, 
so they were slightly hot.
But they were delicious, absolutely delicious! 

These were a joy to eat!

Cupcake Time!

So this is my attempt on Red Velvets. They do not look red BUT they do taste delicious. They don't look red because I didn't use as much food colourant as I should have. But I am just afraid I'll run out of the pretty colours... how ridiculous am I? 
Hey! Woah-woah-woah!
That was a rhetorical question guys... geez...


Yummy is an understatement, these little cupcakes were sublime! 
Not exactly chocolate but not vanilla either. And that sweet buttermilk taste... and the cream cheese frosting! Oh my! I'm gonna go and grab one now.
