Potato Duchess

Yesterday was an 'off' day as I had an afternoon nap that lasted until 8 pm. It was definitely NOT the hottest idea because I was wide awake until past 4 am. Less than 3 hours later my alarm rang, and it was time to get Miss Kiki ready to go to school. Lucky for me, my sister is driving her to school this week. Or my dad. Yeah... very lucky.

Well I spent a good portion of my time in bed not sleeping, but browsing pinterest and youtube, and I got excited about baking. Not to let my excitement turn to dust, as soon as Miss Kiki left I got started. The project this morning is the Potato Duchess.


I don't know where the Potato Duchess got its name from, but they are pretty, and very easy to make. Here's what you need:
  • 3 medium sized potatoes (about 750 grams)
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoon of butter or margarine
  • salt, pepper, nutmeg to taste
  • any other spices you like: I used coriander and garlic powder
  • Cooking spray (or melted butter, or vegetable oil)





The How To:
  • Peel, boil, and mash the potatoes. Do not add milk like you would a traditional mashed potato. I used my Kitchen Aid with paddle attachment for the whole process until it is ready to pipe. 
  • Preheat oven to 400F or 200C
  • Mix in the butter/margarine
  • Mix in egg yolks, one at a time. Make sure they are well incorporated each time.
  • Mix in all the spices to taste.
  • Pipe the mashed potatoes onto a lined cookie sheet. I used the Wilton Dessert Decorator. 
  • Spray with cooking spray, or you can brush the oil or butter on. Brushing would be easier if you refrigerate first after piping.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown
  • Serve right away. If you have extras I think you can freeze them and toast later.... but I've never tried it before.
The whole process was very easy, and yummy!

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Spring in Egypt Part 9 - Luxor Temple

At the time when we arrived at Luxor temple it was already after dusk and it became a little difficult to take photos. I compensated by setting my camera ISO to 4000 to make tripod-less picture-taking possible even though the grains became more visible. Just like the previous nights, the moon still looked round to me. I wasn't sure which one of those moons was the actual full moon. We walked around the temple first with Michael for explanations about the temple. In the distance we were able to hear the adzan calling the people for prayer. Situated in the east bank, the construction of the temple was started by Amenhotep III, continued and finished by the famous King Tut and Horemheb, and then added on to by Rameses II and finally by Alexander the Great. Unlike the other temples we had previously visited, this temple is not dedicated to a single cult/god. Instead, it is used as a place to rejuvenate kingship. May of the kings were said to have been coronated at this temple. ...

Japan Winter Holiday 2017 Part 7 - Otaru Sakaimachi

On our second day in Otaru after we had breakfast and ice cream , we continued walking to Sakaimachi. This shopping street is one of the busiest in the city and is where a lot of Otaru attraction is located. In front of one of the stores there, we saw this cute dog wearing a Minion outfit. Of course Miss Kiki jumped and squealed and asked if she could pet it. We asked permission from the owner to take a picture with it. Along the street they have rock statues in the shape of famous characters like Anpanman and Mickey Mouse. With Anpanman It was a very nice day, we were able to walk around and had fun without feeling cold even though there were a lot of ice and snow. Check out the platforms they set up on the hill. We think that it's to prevent snow slides... Most of the buildings there were old style,,,  Many shops sell fresh seafood and they would cook it for you by order. As we walked past a souvenir shop, we saw a poster for these snowball make...
