A busy Sunday with a Mango Float for dessert

Last Sunday, my husband and I were too busy buying the things needed for the improvement of our store. We went to the hardware to buy the tiles for the kitchen counter. We went to SM to buy check on some kitchen wares. We have also checked some printing shops to find the best deals for tarpaulins. We are also thinking of what to put in the window, whether window blinds or curtains. Haay, we have so many things to do pa, aside from finalizing our product cost. To compensate this tiring day, I decided to make a good dessert for my husband.

I decided to make him a Mango Float. I normally make this dessert during summer because it’s the Mango season. We bought about 2 kilos of mango at the market and prepared all the ingredients. This is a very easy recipe that even a busy mom like me can do at home.

So here it goes..

These are the ingredients you will need: 4 pcs medium sized mango (scoop its meat using a spoon for the toppings);1 cup of chopped mango;1 cup all purpose cream;½ cup or 1 small can of condensed milk; Graham crackers; and crushed graham crackers.

And here’s how to do it: Simply combine the cream and condensed milk in a mixing bowl. Then, arrange the graham crackers in a square pan and cover it with the cream and milk mixture. Put a portion of the chopped mango. Create another layer of graham crackers and the cream and milk mixture then cover it again with graham crackers. Top with the cream and milk mixture and cover it with crushed graham crackers and scooped mango. Serve chilled.

We both enjoyed it and we almost finished one square pan.  Buti na lang 3 pans ang nagawa ko, meron pa para bukas. :p

The final product!

Better luck next time!

A friend of mine asked me to help him find a plasma mount for his plasma TV. We went to the nearest appliance center at the nearest mall to check on their plasma mounts. Unfortunately, we didn’t find a good one because there are only limited designs available in that store. They suggested us to go to Makati or Trinoma to find some other designs. So, we decided to go home since I have no enough time to go to Makati because I still have some works to do. Better luck next time!

My new gadget

I’m so happy and excited to use my new kitchen gadget, a 5-quarts Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer. I ordered it online a few months ago and have it delivered to my friend’s place in the US, where he was enjoying his vacation. It was so kind of him to bring home the mixer. I’m so excited to use it na for my baking sessions. I miss baking. I haven’t baked for months due to my hectic schedule. But, my schedule won’t stop me from baking Andre’s cake for his second birthday.

Take a look at it…

Before I forget, I used my earnings from blogging to purchase this new kithcen gadget. :)
