Dried Strawberries

When I made candied citrus peels, I wondered if I could do the same for another type of fruit as well. I tried it with strawberries. I cooked the strawberries in a pot and dried them in the oven at 100℃ for one hour on each side. The strawberry became a dark colour and shrank to 1/5 of its original size. The strawberry has a sweet and rich flavor. It reminds me of raisins.

Morning View

It was misty on the lake this morning. I like it and decided to take a picture.

Teriyaki Chicken Burgers

This picture below is of the teriyaki chicken burger I made for lunch today. I baked and saved some buns from the weekend. The burger was very delicious with some honey mustard sauce.

Hamburgers

I made hamburgers for lunch today. My buns were a little more flat than usual but it made it easier to eat the hamburgers.

Pecan Pie

I made a pecan pie today. I needed to make the pie crust as quick as I could because the temperature was around 30 ℃ (which is bad for crusts).
I couldn't put the pecans on nicely because I was in a hurry.
The pecan pie was very sweet. I made whipping cream without sugar and put it on the pie.

Banana Bread

I tried a new banana bread recipe today. The difference from my usual banana bread recipe is using meringue and oats. The texture from the oats was interesting and filled me up.

Strawberry Ice Cream

I use cream, eggs and sugar for my ice cream. Today, I added strawberries since the season is finishing soon.
The ice cream is harder than usual because of the juice from the strawberries. It also gives the ice cream a lighter taste. I like the taste for summer.
