Covid Birthday 2020

Happy birthday to me!
Celebrating Covid style. Which pretty much means, trying to cook a yummy meal at home and celebrating with your Nuclear family only.
So this is 39!

I requested garlic shrimps for my birthday. In reminiscent of my birthday last year; Garlic Shrimp trucks in Hawaii.

Check out the shrimps!


Best part though? The card from baby girl and the cupcake she made with love.

Attempting to Make Some Panna Cotta

Mommy and Zoë at it again. This time, we're making some Panna Cotta!

We wanted to make a Strawberry Panna Cotta, so we had to cook down the strawberries, add sugar and then squish out all the juice. Zoë really liked squishing down the strawberries through our mesh basket, which I had to improvise with since I didn't have a sieve. We made it work though!

Then Zoë cooked down the gelatin and mixed it in with the strawberry juice.

Once they were all mixed in nicely, I poured it all into 4 little oven safe bowls. Again, we had to improvise because I couldn't find my ramekins.

And tada! Not quite perfect, but not bad for our first try.

And now a taste test.

Zoë approved, but not quite her favorite.

Ugh Quarentine

Just a little bit of quarantine humor. But really, it be like this.
