I ended up getting carried away with my silly Lawrusso post about them having been a couple since the 80s post and wrote 20k (https://archiveofourown.org/works/29319684) on the hypothesis that if you poured thirty years’ worth of Married To Daniel LaRusso Juice into Johnny Lawrence would you get a man who made better choices, and I can say conclusively the answer is entirely, to my mind at least, in some ways a Little better but in many respects much, much worse. I am delighted to share this sentiment with you
there is truly no way to fully describe the unbelievably elated facial expression i made reading this message. canon but a little to the left?? 20k?? MARRIED FOR THIRTY YEARS??? friend. i'm gonna unhinge my jaw and devour this whole. i'm going to eat this like the most perfect slice of raspberry cheesecake. thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your gift with the world and especially with ME

Strawberries Galette
Ingredients:
[For the base]
➝ 250 gr Manitoba Flour
➝ 60 gr Brown sugar
➝ 1 Pinch of salt
➝ 100 gr Unsalted butter
➝ 50-60 gr Cold water
➝ 1 egg and white sugar for the surface
[Stuffing]
➝ 600 gr Strawberries
➝ 40 gr Sugar
➝ 2 Tablespoons of Corn Starch
➝ 1 Vanilla bean
* I like the idea of galettes because they are versatile and can be used for both sweet and savory versions. The base can be flavored as you prefer: it can be made with aromatic herbs or with spices such as turmeric, cinnamon or oregano, rosemary ... there are no limits to taste and imagination!
* Here I use strawberries - my favorite fruit - but you can replace them with any type of fruit: cooking it will become caramelized and juicy, perfect with this crunchy dough.
Preparation
1. To prepare the base, first let the butter soften at room temperature, dissolve the sugar in the water, and sift the flour.
2. In a bowl, put the sifted flour and inside it add the butter in pieces and the sugared cold water. Stir with a spoon until the dough starts to stick together, work it a little with your hands until soft and homogeneous. (Tip: Alternatively, combine all the ingredients in the mixer, turn it on at medium speed until the dough looks smooth and comes off the bowl)
3. In another bowl, mix well the sliced strawberries with the corn starch (you can replace it with rice starch, potato starch or just a little rice flour), sugar and vanilla seeds.
4. Roll out the dough into an even layer about 3-4 mm thick, pour the strawberries into the center and close the edges on themselves.
5. Wet the edges with a beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.
6. Bake in the oven at 180 ° C for about 40 minutes. Serve warm or cold with a little whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

For this Hari Raya season, Old Chang Kee (老曾记) is bringing back the Chicken Satay’O (S$2.30) but only for one month starting 14th March 2024. This new “improved” version comes with tender satay chicken meat pieces, onion and peanut gravy except the cucumber and ketupat.
Bought two pieces of the Chicken Satay’O when I am out doing grocery shopping. Slicing the still warm puff in half to show you what is inside. It is filled with chunks of chicken meats and peanut gravy. Taste wise, you do get that satay profile with a hint of spiciness though the peanut flavour seems muted. Personally, I wish that the satay taste is more pronounced but overall, still a decent eat.

Not to toot my own horn or anything but my mince pies are unbeatable. This year I have taken to making frangipane mince pies, with Gary Rhodes' (peace be upon him 🥀) shortcrust pastry, and they're just transcendent.

Roasted Cauliflower and Leek Quiche (Vegetarian)
Leftover Roasted Cauliflower and Garden Leeks make a hearty, fragrant and vibrant Roasted Cauliflower and Leek Quiche, a tasty picnic if you're on your way home from a long weekend! Happy Monday!
Ingredients (serves 4 to 8)
2 large Garden Leeks
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
½ tablespoon olive oil
450 grams/1 pound chilled Pâte Brisée
6 large eggs
¾ cup crème fraîche or sour cream
¼ cup semi-skimmed milk
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 teaspoon Garam Masala
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
3/4 cup to a cup leftover Turmeric and Cumin Roasted Cauliflower
Thoroughly rinse Garden Leeks under cold water, removing any dirt.
Melt butter with olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cut Leeks into thick slices and add them to the skillet. Cover with the lid, and cook, 5 minutes. Flip leek slices on the other side, cover with the lid, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, a further 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool completely.
Preheat oven to 200°C/395°F.
Roll Pâte Brisée out thinly onto a lightly floured surface. Fit into a buttered 26cm/10.25″ tart pan, letting the pastry overhang on the edges. Prick the base with a fork. Place a sheet of baking paper onto the Pâte Brisée and fill with dried beans or rice. Blind bake the Pâte Brisée crust at 200°C/395°F, 10 minutes. Carefully remove the beans and baking paper, and bake another 5 minutes, at the same temperature. Remove from the oven. Let cool slightly before trimming the edges.
In a medium bowl, whisk eggs together with crème fraîche. Whisk in milk, salt and black pepper. Stir in Garam Masala and turmeric.
Arrange cooled Leeks onto the tart crust. Cut Roasted Cauliflower into chunks, and scatter them liberally on top. Pour egg and cream mixture evenly all over.
Place in the warm oven, and bake, at 200°C/395°F, 25 to 30 minutes, until cooked through and crust is beautifully golden brown.
Serve Roasted Cauliflower and Leek Quiche warm or cold, with dressed lettuce.
