Baked Penne with Bacon and Mushroom

Baked Penne with Bacon and Mushrooms

I made this dish last Sunday for my sister's birthday. I also baked a cheesecake for her (the Japanese one), my mom also bought fresh and live crabs and fresh shrimps for us to feast on. :D Sadly, I wasn't able to take pictures of the shrimp and crab dishes, since we were all so hungry that once the plate came we immediately ate them. The crabs are succulent and sweet, really fresh! :D Yum!

The next few days will probably be the most hectic days for me, I need to go to the grocery store and buy most of the ingredients I need.. :)

Bacon-Liverwurst Canapes

Bacon-Liverwurst Canapes

Canapes or Hors d' ouevres are food that are eaten in one or two bites. It's usually serve during cocktail parties or served as appetizers. In the baking world, we have Petit Fours which has the same concept but petit fours are sweet while canapes are savory or salty.

I made these just to see what it tastes like. My brother loved it, I think because he loved bacon and liverwurst. Lol. I don't have any idea. Anyway, the recipe is simple, just dump one can of liverwurst in your food processor then add some garlic, mayonnaise, salt and pepper then blend it all together. Once blended, put in on top of your pullman bread that is cut in circles (using a cookie cutter) or any designs that you want (it can be in triangles, crosswise, squares.. whatever. Then add some strips of lean bacon on top. Broil it until the bacon is cooked and crisp.

By the way, Broiling means cooking in the oven where the heat is on top. :)

It's June! Rainy season is here. The last few days have been rainy here because of the monsoon, there's even Tornadoes visiting the city (I really can't believe it... sheesh thanks to Global Warming Tornadoes are hitting unexpected areas. So people we need to stop it!) and I love it. But now it's back to humid again. :( Oh well.
