Can I do it?

I want to make thi shape of cake for Makenzies birthday (yes I know she is only 6 months old but I am bored at work). We won't need that much cake so I want to make the top two layers styrofoam and the bottom big layer be cake.


I am not sure in this creative or talented but we will see. I might practice on the next holiday. Anyone ever attempt this type of cake at home ? I'm not wanting to use the fondont either. Not sure if that is possible.

Maybe i should go to just go to a bakery!

Waiting




For my cereal to get soggy! I've blogged it before, I just like soggy cereal.

On a different note, this is post raisin brand and it sucks. The other brand is way better.

Grrrrrrrrr! Damn Aggies!

Thi morning Makenzie and I went on a 1 hour walk around the neighborhood. We love to walk outside.


What we don't love is when we have to get off the sidewalk and into the street because people block the sidewalks.


This house did it too! Both homes had Texas AM paraphernalia.


But in the end we still love our walks!

New Recipe Monday


Mighty cones is a trailer on South Congress with the best chicken tortilla wrap EVER! This is the recipe we made last weekend and it is pretty dang close. A-MAZING!

mighty+cone+stand.jpg

Mango Slaw

  • 1/2 cup(s) diced mango
  • 2 large jalapeƱos, seeded and chopped
  • 2 tablespoon(s) white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon(s) sugar
  • 1 tablespoon(s) water
  • 1 small shallot, minced
  • 1 cup(s) mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup(s) chopped cilantro
  • 2 clove(s) garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon(s) fresh lime juice
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 7 cup(s) shredded coleslaw mix

Chicken Cones

  • 3 cup(s) cornflakes
  • 6 tablespoon(s) slivered almonds
  • 6 tablespoon(s) sesame seeds
  • 6 tablespoon(s) sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon(s) crushed red pepper
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon(s) kosher salt
  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup(s) milk
  • All-purpose flour, for dredging
  • 6 (5-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, sliced lengthwise 1-inch thick
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 6 10-inch flour tortillas, warmed

Directions

  1. Make the mango slaw: In a saucepan, combine the mango, jalapeƱos, vinegar, sugar, water, and shallot. Cover and simmer until the mango is softened, 10 minutes.
  2. Transfer the mango mixture to a food processor and puree; scrape into a large bowl. Stir in the mayonnaise, cilantro, garlic, and lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Add the coleslaw mix and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate.
  3. Make the cones: Wipe out the food processor. Add the cornflakes, almonds, sesame seeds, sugar, red pepper, and salt and pulse until coarsely chopped. Transfer the mixture to a large, shallow bowl. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk. Fill a third shallow bowl with flour. Dredge the chicken strips in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip them in the eggs, then roll them in the cornflake mixture.
  4. Set a rack over a rimmed baking sheet. In a large skillet, heat 1/4 inch of oil. Working in batches, fry the chicken over moderately high heat, turning once, until golden brown, 6 minutes; transfer to the rack. Set the fried chicken on the tortillas and top with the mango slaw. Roll up and eat right away.


GOOD LUCK! Let me know if you try it and if so, how you liked it!
