Choosing an Avocado and Cutting it
Picture and Information from: http://rasamalaysia.com/super-baby-food-avocado/
Well I didn't know how to choose which avocado it good and ready. Avocado have such a pleasing color to look at.
To choose avocado, always look for the ones with dark green skin that is soft with no indent, which indicates the ripeness of the avocado.
How to Open an Avocado:
Cut the avocado in half, lengthwise or widthwise around the seed. Cut deep until the knife touches the seed. Twist and pull the two halves apart. To remove the seed, stick the lower end of the knife into the seed. Twist the knife and the seed will pop out.

UPDATE 3.20.13:
This website also helps avocadocentral.com, on how to pick and buy avocado. It also has interesting facts and a comparison table of the different ripening stages which I though was helpful.
Sushi Rice Recipe
RASAMALAYSIA Sushi rice recipe:
Items:
1 cup short grain rice (measured with the rice cup that comes with the rice cooker, about 80% of a regular measuring cup)
1 1/2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt or to taste
OR
1 cup rice
1 1/2 – 2 tablespoons
Mizkan Sushi Seasoning or sushi vinegar
How to:
Cook the rice with rice cooker. When done I like to use the rice spatula or a wooden one to fluff the rice up and then add the seasonings. Then you want to mix the rice with slicing motion or with a baking term folding it, don't stir it. When it is mix well let the rice cool, you can put it in the fridge to cool faster. You want the rice warm so you can handle it with your hands.
Tips:
This is my first time making sushi and it wasn't hard as I thought it would be. You can put anything you want in your roll–be creative with your filling or look around for fillings... I made a veggie roll with cucumber and carrot. I was debating with myself in the middle of rolling if I should put some shrimp but I didn't. Here are some sushi recipe you can make with your rice.

Sauces:
My mother work at a sushi place and I asked her about the sauces. The simplest one is the diluted soy sauce with sugar. You add soy sauce, water, and sugar. she didn't tell me the measurements so y'all have to play with it and decide your taste. I bought mayonnaise before I asked my mother about the sauce and she only told me the Soy one. I have a bottle of mayo that I need to use, so I Googled. There's also sushi sauces you can go and buy.
I found two sauces I found and had to make adjustments because I didn't have to items. First mix mayo and ketchup which is the red one in the picture. Second mix mayo, chili powder, and bit of rice vinegar, I like this one better. The second mix it said Japanese mayo and I look it up and the product has rice vinegar.
Sauce 1:
mayo
ketchup
Spicy sauce:
Jap. mayo (I didn't have that so I used mayo and rice vinegar)
Sriracha sauce (I sub. it with chili powder that comes with the mama ramen ^^)

Cheesecake Bites
Buns In My Oven » Cheesecake Bites
I know I posted a lot of cheesecake posts and some might be the same... but
I was curious of how the swirls were made. I also thought it was awesome that the chocolate one she used Nutella spread, sweet.
For the crust:
2 cups Oreo crumbs (just crush the cookies, filling and all, in a food processor or blender)
4 tbsp butter, melted
For the topping:
6 oz fresh raspberries
2 tbsp sugar
Nutella, chocolate, caramel topping (only if you want a variety of toppings, optional)
For the filling:
2 lbs cream cheese (4 8oz packages), at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
Pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 large eggs, room temperature
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Enlist your children to line the muffin pans with paper liners. Combine the crust ingredients in a small bowl. Stir together with a fork until the Oreo crumbs are moist. Spoon 1 tbsp of the crust into each paper liner. Press flat with the back of a spoon. Bake for 5 minutes to set the crust. Transfer to a cooling rack.
To make the topping, add the raspberries and sugar to a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Press through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds. Set aside.
To make the filling, add the cream cheese to the bowl of your mixer. Beat the cream cheese until fluffy on medium speed. Beat in the sugar until the mixture is smooth. Mix in the salt and vanilla. Add the eggs one at a time beating until each is fully incorporated.
To assemble, add 3 tablespoons of filling to each cupcake liner/crust. Dot a 1/2 teaspoon of whichever filling you are using (I vote for raspberry!) on to the batter 3 times. You should have 3 separate dots of filling, 1/2 teaspoon each. Use a toothpick to lightly swirl the filling in to the batter creating a pretty swirl. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes.
Bake until the filling is set, about 22 minutes, rotating the pans half way through. Cool to room temperature on a wire rack. Transfer to the refrigerator and let chill at least 4 hours before serving.
Yield: between 24 and 30 cupcakes – I had enough filling for 30 cupcakes, but only enough crust for 24. That being said, I went heavy with the crust because I like lots!

Some fat and butter sounds good to me right now too. But I don't like the picture of how it turned out. The butteriness looks a bit soggy and gooey. I like mine to be crisp and crunchy but I never tired it before so I don't know if the top wouldn't be bit soggy. Well that was my only problem I want to know about.

Charley Davidson series
fantasticfiction SUM:
Charley sees dead people. That's right, she sees dead people. And it's her job to convince them to 'go into the light.' But when these very dead people have died under less than ideal circumstances (i.e. murder), sometimes they want Charley to bring the bad guys to justice. Complicating matters are the intensely hot dreams she's been having about an Entity who has been following her all her life...and it turns out he might not be dead after all. In fact, he might be something else entirely.
I love this series, it has great humor and adventure.

Spicy tofu with celery stir fry, simple
Adapt/modify from Tastehongkong
I made this for dinner. I didn't have carrot. I was tempted to use my roommates carrot but I didn't so I subbed it with 2 very small onion. I also added shrimp at the last minute so I dice it smaller for it to cook faster. The pepper paste I had wasn't as spicy as I wanted it to be.
Ingredients
~300g firm tofu
4 celery stems
a handful of shrimp, diced
1/2 carrot
3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
Onion
cooking oil
Seasonings
2 tsp chili sauce, I used Korean type
1 1/2 tsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp sugar
4 tbsp water
salt and chicken granule bouillon
Method
Wash celery stems, peel and trim away the aged fibrous skin as we did for this dish. Cut into about 1 cm cubes. Peel and cut carrots into similar dices.
Prepare your seasonings, mix items except salt and cgb. Mix until paste dissolve.
First pan-fried the tofu with both sides golden color then slice into about 1 cm cubes.
Heat oil in wok or pan over medium heat, sauté garlic and onion and shrimp until fragrant Toss in celery and carrot, stir fry it. Pour in seasoned mixture and add tofu. Sitr a bit and cover the pan for about 2 minutes or until the sauce clings to the foods. If you want the vegetables to be more tender, cover and lower heat to simmer another minute or two (add more water if required). Sprinkle in salt and cgb according to taste. Stir well, dish up and serve hot.

Making:
"Add pinch of ground white pepper in egg and beat well.
In a mixing bowl, mix flours and salt. Gradually add water in the center, whisking and incorporating flour from around at the same time. Spoon 1/4 of the beaten egg into the flour mixture. Whisk well and until lumps disappear and the batter is smooth.
Add spring onion into the remaining 3/4 egg.
Heat a frying pan and coat its bottom with a very thin layer of oil. As they become hot enough, turn heat to low. Pour half of batter into center of the pan in one go (half of the batter in this recipe shall make a ~18cm pancake).
As soon as the batter hits the hot pan, tip it around to get the base evenly coated with batter (I like to spread it as thin as possible).
As the top side of the batter is about to set, pour over it half of the remaining egg mixture and spread it out evenly.
Wait for the egg mixture to set a bit, yet still slightly wet, lift an edge of the pancake and roll (I lifted with my turner). Aid the action with chopsticks or fork in another hand, if required.
Fry the roll for a few seconds, or more, to brown to your liking.
Repeat with the remaining batter and egg mixture. Section the egg rolls to your desired length. Serve hot with chili sauce or terayaki sauce."

Tofu Shreds with Chinese Chives Recipe
I learned a trick from my uncle to make the tofu shred tender. You just boil the shred in water and you add baking power or soda, either one is fine. You let it boil for few minutes and then drain it. If you don't like how long the tofu shreds are, you can tear/cut it in half or one-thirds before boiling.
I had shrimp so I used it in cooking but it's not necessary. Just chives and shredded tofu is yummy buy themselves
Prepare:
Asian chives cut in stripes
bag of shredded tofu (bought in asian store)
shrimp (optional)
white pepper (optional)
butter or oil
salt and chicken granule bouillon
Cooking:
I added butter in my pan to stir fry the shrimp, when it was a nice pink color I added the chives. Stir it around with your chop stick or utensil until the chives are wilting. Then add your shredded tofu. Add your seasonings to your taste and also add a cup or half of water. Stir it a bit then cover the pan, let it steam for a few minutes. Taste to see if seasoned enough.
