I came across a recipe and a craft I could not wait to try and then share in my blogging world.
First- The recipe was for "crab ragoons". This is one of me and my daughters favorite things at the Chinese restaurant. So I got the stuff for this easy recipe and did it exactly the way it said to do it. I didn't even add my own trick because this one looked so perfect already.
The cream cheese and crab mixture was perfect and wrapping them into little won tons was easy but cooking them up was just a mess. They didn't want to brown pretty and crispy except around the edges and those ended up being really tough. It could be the brand of won ton wrappers I used or the way I fried them. Maybe and deep fryer would have worked perfect. I still want to eventually ace this one because except for the texture, the taste was there! We ended up eating them anyways.
How mine turned out.
Second-I found this craft idea and shared it with my daughter who is always looking for ideas to do with her sorority sisters. "Write on a white plate with a sharpie marker and bake in oven at 150 degree for 30 minutes and the marker will never come off".
As soon as the plates cooled, I washed them and the writing came right off! disappointment here. She was really excited about this one.
Her plate looked really cute.
Have any of you had any experiences like this? I do not doubt the original creator of this recipe or craft, Its just that I could not pull it off.
Pinterest will either make me fat or make me broke. I want to try 100 different new recipes. Crab Stuffed Baked Avocados anyone? What about my new obsession with sewing. Online obsession that is!
ReplyDeleteI will agree that my recipe pinterest attempts have not all turned out well.
