For #CherryMagicTH episode 10: Cherry mojito. Good, but could use more sweetness. I was kinda busy, and forgot that I hadn’t finished watching the episode, even though it’s been out for a while. I’m also adjusting the recipes to how my rehearsal weekends look, hence some simpler ones when possible. #CherryMagic #JVcooks #JVwatches 📺🍒
For the final episode of #CookingCrush: Trio paste, or magic paste! It seemed appropriate as the ending recipe of the project for what it symbolized for the Three Must-Eat-Eers. It is indeed delish; I used it to marinate some tofu.
I can hardly say that all the dishes in this project were a success, but several *were*, so I’ll declare myself happy! #JVcooks #JVwatches
Not only did it not turn out like it was supposed to (look at my sloppy shaping [in my defense, there was too much water in the dough even though I didn’t add it all]; the two liquids won’t stay apart, and the recipe wasn’t very clear on cooking time, so it wasn’t cooked properly either), but I’ve also lost the Thai name for this, but it was mentioned in a previous episode. For #CookingCrush episode 11.🤷🏻♀️ #JVcooks #JVwatches
For #CherryMagicTH episode 9: fennel and roasted cherry salad.
Now… It’s my first time, being of white trash stock, that I’m buying a fennel. Don’t think I’ve even had it before. Wouldn’t know what to do with it (I’ll be goggling what to do with the rest of it). It was lovely; I enjoyed this dish a lot, great balance of flavors. #JVcooks #JVwatches #CherryMagic 🍒📺
For #CherryMagicTH episode 8: Cherry tea mocktail. I added the additional sweetener, but I’m not sure it was quite enough. Still very nice though. #CherryMagic #JVcooks #JVwatches 🍒
For #CookingCrush episode 10: Mala dry hotpot, as mentioned last week. I pre-made my own hotpot base before the weekend, because I’m wary of some store-bought ones, and I was worried that this was gonna be too spicy, especially with no broth. It’s not, it’s delish. #JVcooks #JVwatches📺🍲
Finished #IBecameTheMainRoleOfABLDrama. Figured it was gonna be in the same tone as The Man Who Defies BL. …my bad. That wasn’t it AT ALL. Short and sweet, only 3 episodes. Not gonna change any lives, but amusing and very, very wholesome. 📺#JVwatches
For #CookingCrush episode 9: Vegetarian’s Delight, mentioned in a previous episode. It really is too delightful to be this simple and basic. Delish. I did, however, add some tofu to make a meal of it; you need some proteïne too. #JVcooks #JVwatches 📺🌽🥬🥕🍚
For #CherryMagicTH episode 7: Cherry crisp. It wasn’t crispy, it was wet-sandy and it didn’t taste good either; this is one of those healthy recipes, isn’t it?! *accusing finger* …it was terrible. Had only the one bite. Will not make again. #CherryMagic #JVcooks #JVwatches📺🍒
For #CookingCrush episode 8: Strawberry coconut cake! In a recent episode, chef Chang Ma served pieces of coconut cake with strawberries, like, in a bowl. So I wondered if I could combine it. This is based on a recipe of a coconut crunch cake, and I added strawberries to the batter instead of serving them on the side. It works really well and was super delish. Croonsh on the outside, soft on the inside. #JVwatches #JVcooks📺🥥🍓
For #CherryMagicTH episode 6: vegan Black Forest cheese cake. To which I have only one comment: Why does this recipe exist? Why..?
It’s so hideous even my lover struggled to have something nice to say. He did say it felt like “eating cocoa powder”, which the crust basically is. This is the kind of shit that makes us vegans look bad. Erase it from the face of the earth.
…this week’s episode was lovely tho. #CherryMagic #JVwatches #JVcooks 🍒📺
For #CookingCrush episode 7: fried rice. I actually made this and started the episode on Sunday, but didn’t finish it until now. Busy, busy. Rather than the fried rice itself being inherently Thai, I found it easier to find a fried rice recipe made by a Thai person, and that’s what this is. I was astonished to learn I was to put all the veg in at the same time, but it turned out delish, so fuck it. #JVcooks #JVwatches
(cont) Cherry limeade is excellent too; brilliant combo IMO. #CherryMagicTH #CherryMagic #JVcooks #JVwatches 📺🍒
For #CherryMagicTH episode 5: Cherry cinnamon “rolls” and cherry limeade. The rolls filled whatever space was available, TBH… I ended up using only like 1/3 of the frosting (where I also swapped milk for cherry juice, BTW), because the amount of sugar in these things is OBSCENE. They WERE delish tho, but certainly didn’t need more frosting. (cont) #CherryMagic #JVcooks #JVwatches
