Casava Cake
Casava, Grated Coconut, Evaporated Milk, Coconut Milk, Coconut Cream, Condensed Milk, Eggs, Sugar
Ahhh Monday night’s cooking was sort of a mess…though things didn’t turn out too badly! Anyway, there I was making the casava cake. I’d finished with the cake batter and was working on the topping for it (if you need context, just google casava cake recipes) when disaster struck! My iPhone, which I was using to take pictures, fell into the topping mixture and was completely and utterly submerged in a bowl of eggs, condensed milk, coconut milk and sugar. Luckily, the phone still works, though the speaker system is kind of quieter – so next time we’re on the phone with each other, make sure to speak loudly to make sure I can hear you! In any case, my mom’s insisting that I get a new phone since she doesn’t feel comfortable with me having a slightly broken one. 
In my frazzled state worrying about my phone and making sure my contacts were backed up on my computer in the case that my phone stopped working, I ended up putting too much vinegar in the Adobo. I could taste the overpowering flavor of the vinegar when I smelled the mixture so to correct it, I added some water, more soy sauce, and some sugar to try and balance out the flavors. It worked to an extent and on some rice it wasn’t deplorable.
Since I’m posting this kind of late it’s overlapping with my cooking for today so I’ll keep this post short. I’m currently in the process of making some Pan de Sal (basic dinner/breakfast roll in the Philippines), just waiting for the dough to rise and for the main dish I’ll be making some Filipino-style Spaghetti. No dessert tonight since I still have a lot of casava cake to go through! That’s it for now! Till next time!
