A-Team Dessert, 3-23-10

Chrisface and I were in charge this past week, and the perhaps-fortuitous discovery of rice paper wrappers at the Co-op yielded our big idea.

Ong Bak Rolls

Coconut Jasmine Rice

Raisins

Banana (sliced)

Toasted Coconut

Toasted Almonds

Caramel Sauce

Sadly, we completely forgot one ingredient I had been super looking forward to including, candied ginger. I really think it would have made the dish pop. As it was, things were a touch doughy as we under-fried the rolls. Also, this was my first foray into making caramel, yikes! Still, reviews were generally positive and I think the final ruling was "Success!", though not to the same degree as our last dessert. And now we have candied ginger, what are we supposed to do with that?

A-Team Dessert, 3-16-10

Michellibal and Scottdoch joint-captained this one.

Lamarshmallow Haystacks, in honor of their favorite Davis politico.

Marshmallow cream

Lemon curd

Coconut

Fiber One

It was determined that the lamarshmallow Haystacks are best after they have been frozen for a time. Just a tip, because I know you're running off to check your cupboards, "Do I have enough time to make this before company stops by?"

Yes, you do. Now get going!

A-Team Dessert, 3-9-10

Chris and I made our first A-Team Dessert this past Tuesday. For those of you not in the know, A-Team dessert involves you building something as the A-Team would--out of found objects within your reach.
As Michellibal would say, "I love it when a dessert comes together!"
Meet Jengacake!

French Toast Fingers

Lemon Curd

Plain Greek Yogurt

Brandy-based Hard Sauce

Candied Walnuts

Scottdoch was pretty shocked that Chrisface and I could pull together something of this caliber, especially since I'm only a staff sergeant, but that is just the way we work. 

The proud yet scared Chrisface with our creation (for scale). It was pretty darn good!
