Coffee Hazelnut Friands & why I've been MIA for so long

Hi!

I'm sorry that I've been away for more than a year.
Last year, I thought I wanted to be blogging again, but some health issues came up.

After I blogged about the Chocolate Ombre Cake, I went to Vietnam with my friend for few days. It was a tiring trip and I had trouble sleeping. And when I came back, there was more travelling with the kids, my body ended up exhausted. Two days after reaching home (finally), I fetched my mom for her medical appointment, and as I was driving home, the pain came.... simply put it as, my fourth time going into active labour. Yes, it was that type of pain, as if I was labour induced. Stopped my car beside the road and called my brother, who was the nearest one to me at that moment. I couldn't breathe whenever the pain came, you know, like when the strongest contractions come?
I was rushed to the hospital. I lost my ability to stand for the next few days because my spine flared up very badly. A month later, I flared up again. Anyway, cut the story short, it took me two hospitalizations to finally got diagnosed as having Spinal Osteoathritis. Couldn't stand for long, couldn't carry my handbag anymore, couldn't walk for long, .... took me one year of resting to be actively back in the kitchen. I started cooking again a month after my second hospitalization. But it was all simple meals, that I needed a few rests in between.

I thank God that I could stand and walk again, and it's a blessing to be able to do that. Actually it's not really a big issue, but when I was bed ridden, I realized that being able to stand each day, is really a blessing, His grace.

• Place the meatballs on a lined baking sheet and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.  While the meatballs are cooking, combine the sauce ingredients in a bowl, and divide in half into 2 bowls.  Reserve one bowl for extra dipping sauce.

Butter Biscuits

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (lightly scooped into measuring cups and leveled off) 
• 1/4 tsp baking soda 
• 1 TBSP baking powder 
• 1 1/4 tsp kosher salt 
• 3 oz (6 TBSP) unsalted butter, very cold and cut very small 
• 1 cup buttermilk, very cold 

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat your oven to 475°F.
2. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and whisk together.
3. Add the cold butter pieces into the dry ingredients and cut into the flour, using a pastry cutter or a fork, until it resembles coarse meal.
4. Add the cold buttermilk into the bowl and stir with a spoon or a rubber spatula JUST until combined. This should only take a few turns. The dough will be pretty wet and sticky.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board. With floured hands gently pat out (do NOT roll with a rolling pin) the dough out until it's about 1/2" thick. Add a tiny bit of flour over top if needed and fold the dough over itself about 5 times, gently pressing down in between each fold. Gently pat the dough out to a 1 inch thick.
6. Use a round cutter to cut into rounds about 2 1/2 inch wide. You can go smaller for more biscuits.
7. Gently pat the scraps together to cut out the rest of your biscuits.
8. Place the biscuits in a buttered pan close together. I used a 10" cast iron skillet, but you can also use a cake pan, a spring form pan, or a baking dish.
9. Immediately place the biscuits in the oven and bake at 475F for about 11-15 minutes. DO NOT open the oven door for AT LEAST the first half of baking time. You want the steam to stay trapped in the oven to help with the rise. Brush biscuits with melted butter if desired.

4. Repeat with other pork chops.
5. Add enough oil in a heavy high sided pan (like a Dutch oven) to reach half way up the pork chop.

7. Pre-heat oil until it reaches 360 F.
8. Carefully place one pork chop into the oil and set a timer for 5 minutes. Ideally, you want the temperature to stay between 360-375 F so keep a eye on it.
9. When the timer beeps, carefully flip the pork chop over and fry for another 5 minutes. Remove and place on a paper towel covered plate.
10. Repeat with the rest of the pork chops, adjusting the temperature as needed.
11. Enjoy with more hot sauce or served with rice or mashed potatoes .
