Cereal Milk Recipe by Momofuku Milk Bar

I remember when I first started my real full time job, the only thing could make me get up early was a bowl of cereals.  I am not kidding, I even craved it when I was sleeping at night and so looking forward to get up in the morning to have that bowl of cereals (sounds totally unbelivlable, but 100% true!).  What made me so addicted to the bowl of cereals were the crushiness from the cereals and the silky smoothness from the milk, but what I love the most was that cereal milk left in the bowl. 

Admit it, you love that cereal milk too!  Momofuku Milk Bar in New York knew how much people love that cereal milk, so they "created" it and sell it at their store (very smart idea!).  Owner and Pastry Chef, Christina Tosi was nice enough to write a book and share some of the Momofuku's favorite recipes with everyone.  The first recipe in the book OF COURSE was their famous Cereal Milk.  If you want to try your hands to make their famous Cereal Milk, Serious Eats shared this recipe on their website and more important, they even converted the English measurement (the book uses English measurements) to American commonly use measurement.  Sweet=)

This cereal milk is very versatile.  You could use it to bake cookies, cupcakes and cakes and even ICE CREAM!  Tea and Letter is sharing the step by step process of making your potentially new favorite ice cream on their website, click here.

Random Found - Cupcake Pebbles

Found this sor-of "new" (it might not be new anymore, since I saw some of the sources are from last year) product from American favorite breakfast cereal's brand, Post, Cupcake Pebbles it is!  I have not tried this so call new product yet and don't think I will have chance to try it (read below and you will find out why).  I found a review on this product.  If you are interested in what they taste like, click here.

Unfortunately, according to some sources I read online, this product has been discontinued because consumers were complaing about having too many pebbles in the cupcakes. This unfortunately caused many liability claims related to dental health.  <---Interesting!

Thank you, Halloween!

I am not sure how many kids knocked on your door to play trick or treat during Halloween night last month.  We got 0 kid here!  Last year, we had one kid (the kid living next door) knocked on our door when we were about to leave for a party.  We didn't prepare any candies, end up I just gave him some of my favorite snacks to take home.  So this year, we were well prepared for this special holiday.  To our surprise, we got 0 kid asked for candies from us.

0 kid = bags of left over candies at our house!  I decided to use some of the left over candies to make cupcakes.  I like PB & J (peanut butter and jam), so I created this cupcake to include these two ingredients.

I broke down the peanut butter cup in my chocolate batter and created this so air-y and creamy peanut butter mousse frosting filled with boysenberry jam in the chocolate cupcakes.  They just taste like my favorite PB&J toast!

I was just curious about who created this amazing PB&J sandwiches, and I found this information online (quite interesting):

1941-1945 - Both peanut butter and jelly were on the U.S. Military ration menus in World War II (1941-1945). It is said that the American soldiers added jelly to their peanut butter to make it more palatable. Peanut butter provided an inexpensive and high protein alternative to meat for soldiers. It was an instant hit and returning servicemen made peanut butter and jelly sales soar in the United States. Food historians haven't found any ads or other mentions of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches before the 1940s.
