A good deal of ink has been spilt chronicling the trials and tribulations of being a graduate student. And with good reason, since said trials are many: the long hours, the miniscule (if any) pay, the annoying ridicule we're subject to from grumpy old professors who don't see the point of the modern probability theory revolution .... ahem and eye roll.

And we graduate students undertake all of this knowing full well that only very few of us will make it into academia in the long run (we just really, really hope it's us!). Part of what makes it all live-able, however, is the fact that we are also terribly good at laughing at ourselves and at our own predicaments. Take PhD comics, for instance, or #whatshouldwecallgradschool. Poking fun at grad students is easy. Even Tina Fey does it! A full list of our misfortunes is available here. The misfortune cookies managed to elicit some great hand-to-forehead-smacking reactions at the lab meeting, which was quite gratifying. 1. Enjoy! 35 Amazing Birthday Cake Ideas. Breaking Bad - blue meth candy - Lollies, Candy and Bonbons. I’m sure most of you will know who I’m talking about when I mention Walter White, aka Heisenberg. The TV show Breaking Bad, in which the meek chemistry teacher Walter White transforms himself into meth cook king pin Heisenberg, is drawing in the crowds to tune in to AMC and to visit the city of Albuquerque in the US, where the show is based.

The Candy Lady, Debbie Ball, who was initially asked to make the candy ‘meth’ crystals that were used as props in seasons 1 and 2 of the show, is now selling the little blue candy filled baggies at her candy store for $1 each. Don’t worry if you can’t get down to Albuquerque, you can buy ready-bagged candy from various ebay and etsy stores. Endless fun to be had – like sprinkling the crystals on iced donuts like Aaron Paul (Jesse Pinkman) has here. Thinking about breaking bad and cooking up some meth candy yourself?

I suffer from a little something that I like to call 'The Baker's Curse.' (Don't worry--it's far from lethal. ;-P) The Baker's Curse is when you're the designated baker in your circle of friends, and you make everyone birthday cakes for their birthdays (and wedding cakes for their weddings, and so on), but no one ever--and I mean ever--bakes *you* a cake for *your* birthday. I'm sure many of you out there are familiar with this affliction.

Everyone seems to get so flustered and worked up with the misconceived insecurity that no cake they bake, they think, could ever possibly live up to your standards, but what they don't all realize is that it's not really the cake that counts as it is the thought. So this year, for my birthday, I'm determined to escape the Baker's Curse, and to do so, I've enlisted the help of the awesome, awesome folks at Rosanna, Inc. Rosanna, Inc. is the tableware company behind my absolute favorite cake stands--the ones I've used on this blog overandoveragain. .

Coconut Cake Recipe. Lemon Curd: In a stainless steel bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and lemon juice until blended. Cook, stirring constantly (to prevent it from curdling), until the mixture becomes thick (like sour cream or a hollandaise sauce) (160 degrees F or 71 degrees C). This will take approximately 10 minutes. Remove from heat and immediately pour through a fine strainer to remove any lumps.

Cut the butter into small pieces and whisk into the mixture until the butter has melted. Add the lemon zest and let cool. The lemon curd will continue to thicken as it cools. Cover immediately (so a skin doesn't form) and refrigerate until cold. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Coconut Cake: While the eggs are still cold separate the eggs, placing the yolks in one bowl and the whites in another bowl. In a mixing bowl sift or whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Makes one - 9 inch (23 cm) layer cake. Adapted From:

In the Kitchen With: Ellise Pierce’s Pecan Salty Caramel Tart. This week’s recipe for a Pecan Salty Caramel Tart comes from blogger and cookbook author Ellise Pierce, also known as the Cowgirl Chef. Ellise mixes elements of Texan and French cuisines to make her own fusion cooking. The pecan salty caramel tart draws on the pecan from her home state and the tart, a cornerstone of French pastry. The result is an incredibly sweet pie that is packed with pecans. (Warning: It is highly addictive!) The fleur de sel cuts through and balances out some of the sweetness, but there’s no way around it. About Ellise: Author of the cookbook Cowgirl Chef: Texas Cooking with a French Accent (Running Press) and the blog CowgirlChef.com, Pierce splits her time between Paris, Dallas-Fort Worth and Santa Fe, New Mexico, all places she calls home.

I bought Apple Tart, Choco Tart and my favorite Buko Pie. I like the crust as it’s crispy and fresh. It’s unique from other buko pie but it’s just too sweet for my taste. The filling is not really tender or maybe, I got an old buko coconut meat. It’s quite thick than the other buko pies I’ve tasted. It looks yummy but I still prefer the taste of D’ Original. My own verdict: I rate Rowena’s 6/ 10.

Other Buko Pies I tried: Letty’s: 7/10 Collete’s: 6/10 My two kids on the other hand like buko pie from Rowena’s. Please click the badge below for more FTF entries.

We headed south for a short vacation together with Mendiolables and on our way home, we happened to stop by in different known buko pie stores and here’s my short review of the best buko pie in town.

The Secret to Great Leche Flan? Dayap | FOODIPINO™ | FOODIPINO™ Doowop-doowop-doo-wop-dayap-oo-ahh…My not so sincere apologies to the Hansons for my title. The teeny bop song came to mind when I happily harvested a handful of Dayap from our young yet prolific plant. Dayap, our Philippine version of the Key Lime is a small citrus fruit that truly packs a punch. I just can’t get enough of its deep sour note that has this vibrant and zesty aroma.

The yearning is so much greater especially since it’s so hard to come by. It should never be mistaken for green lemon, as this has a round, smooth, shiny and thin rind and is so much more fragrant. The best thing for me though is when dayap is used for deserts and snacks like bonuelos, coconut macaroon cookies ( & ) and the divine leche flan. I dare say, I may have stumbled upon the secret to making arguably, the ultimate leche flan. Ingredients: Flan: How to cook: Ube Macapuno Cake Recipe. UPDATE: Please also read a related post here. Ever since I blogged about my Ube Cake ala Red Ribbon, a number of Filipinas have been emailing me to request for my recipe. I know this post is long overdue so good news, ladies, your wait is over! This is my own recipe and I am no way claiming it to taste exactly like the famous commercially available one back home in the Philippines (although I must admit I copied its look!).

I came up with this after much trial and error. The resulting cake is absolutely fantastic, provided you do it correctly of course. The cake base is chiffon, which is quite delicate and does require practice to perfect. Some important notes before we begin: 1. 2. 3. 4.
