I'm a Father now!

Well, as many of you may know, I became a father last week. It's true. Here is a photo:

Wait, that's the wrong one, that's my girlfriend, Inca Kola. That's just the best thing here!

Here is Elder Stucki. He's from Bountiful, UT, and is 19 years old. (For those too slow, I didn't "Really" have a baby, but in the mission they call people your son if you are their first companion, or their trainer. I am his trainer.):

Brownie Night

Just last night, I, yes, the great Elder Buck, became a SUPER CHEF and decided to make one of my favorites with the family Cabanillas (Pronounced Cab-uh-knee-yuz). That's right, my mom's Recipe for her amazing Brownies. It was great. You shall see what it takes to create such a delightful dessert such as this.

The first step is very simple. Melt the 200 grams of butter and the 50 grams of Vegetable Oil/Lard. Don't worry, I don't use animal fat in my cooking, I use vegetable oil, 100% NOT ANIMAL. So for those animal rights people, don't worry...

The next step is also quite simple. 50 grams of cocoa, or in other words, a half a cup. That's right, 50 grams is the same as half a cup, which means 1 cup is 100 grams. Imagine! Anyway, as you can see I'm dumping in the cocoa.

Then, the next thing you want to do is add WHITE SUGAR(Highlight that blank white space). Uh huh, 2 cups of it. Okay, do your math, and Yep, that's 200 grams of sugar as well. Here I am dumping in the sugar. Oh how sweet!

If you know ANYTHING at all about cooking, you will guess what's coming next. Yep, the Eggs.

It gives a great texture to any meal, and sure helps dissolve that sugar a lot easier. Don't ask me why, I think it's the watery egg white that does it. Anyway, 4 eggs one by one without shells and Boom, done.

Okay my fellow chefs, or is it cheves... j/k. Anyway, you know what is missing, right? THE FLOUR!!! Yep, one and a half cups (do the math...) or 150 grams of flour. The kind that is all ready to cook with. No yeast stuff needed. In peru you can buy it prepared or not prepared. But that's not the question. The answer is I needed prepared flour, so that's what I used.

"Don't eat that! There are raw Eggs in there!" I'm quoting that because surely any mom would tell you, exactly like that, to not eat it.

.

The next part is the easiest part. If you did not eat all your mixture, you dumped it into the greased pan and placed it into the oven at 180º Celsius (About 350º Farenheit) and waited a looooong 30 minutes. And Longer if you don't know how to control the oven's temperature... Not to mean I did... or anything like that...

The next part is a little difficult. Usually it's easy, but since there was no rectangular pan to cook with, we used a regular cake mold. Well, I was able to cut Every piece to look almost like a square. Can you imagine? It's true. I cut square shapes out of a round mold.

For those who are daring to try new things, add a spoonful of GIN on top of your brownie, for some real kick. Just a joke, come on! I do not recommend doing that to anyone. So if you took me seriously, I'm sorry. Anyway, you do NOT want gin.

After all the fun of baking is over, you get the great opportunity to enjoy the brownie with the whole family. How cuuuuute.

I actually DID make this wonderful dessert. What a surprise, no? I hope you enjoyed the post.

Amazing Discovery in Peru

I have discovered something incredible. No one has ever uncovered something as marvelous and great, but I, Elder Buck, the Buckinator, in Peru. That's right folks, I have discovered that my car has been stolen, was sent to Peru, got a new color of paint, and surely been used in many crimes.

Evidence - Photo One. See this Photo? See the problem? MY CAR IS GONE. Take a look:

How do I know that my car was taken to Peru? Simple... I FOUND IT! Take a look:

What a find, eh? Who'd a thunk!
