Fried Banana anyone?

A few months ago when Ada came home from Hawaii, she told us about some fried banana her friend had taught her how to make them. She looked all around Kent, but couldn't find the right kind of banana. She ended using regular banana. It tasted okay but she said it wasn't as good as the one she had in Hawaii. I was talking with one of my friend, Aida, when I was treating her back pain. Then she told me that fried banana is from Philipine and she promised to show me how to make them when she got better. Finally, yesterday, she showed up to her appointment, with banana, lupia wrapper and brown suger in hand. She make me some fried banana! I have to say they do tasted much better than regular banana. She got the banana from Ranch 99 supermarket... they are so good and easy to make. Thank you, Aida!

The Joy of cooking

We spent last weekend in Utah attending general conference. Ted and I were able to tickets to go to the Saturday morning session and tickets for all 5 of us to the Sunday morning one.

After the Saturday morning session, we drove to Odgen to visit some friends that we had not visited for a while (Carmen and Ken Choi). Carmen has been cooking up a storm with receipes from this website on facebook. She showed me how to make some of my favorite childhood snacks and of course, Ted got hooked on the website. He spent most of the time on the computer reading up on the different receipes while we were waiting for our flight home. So Tuesday, after I got off work from the hospital, I arrived home with most delicious smells of bake goods... Ted had made "chick tail bun". I was so hungry, I ate one big one all by myself.

So today, I had to make some more. Ted make the bread dough while I had my seminary meeting this morning and I finished by rolling the dough, putting the filling and baking them. Here are the pictures. They are a little bit over cook because my oven is too warm (I turn it down 25 degree less than we was supposed to be already, but I guess I need to turn it down even more). But it tastes just as good.
