Cooking 6/3

Went with boston cream pie. It required me to make two cake layers, a custard filling, and a chocolate glaze. The chocolate glaze came out well, but the cake and custard was rather bland. I blame it on the electric stove. I should have been more careful with the exact measurements of baking, and watched the heat more carefully.

This week I made a simple shrimp scampi. All it consisted of was shrimp, fettuccine, green onions, garlic, and lots of butter. First I added half a stick of butter to a hot pan, then the garlic and green onions. When all of those were good and hot i added the shrimp. After about 5minutes I added the fettuccine and another fourth stick of butter. It was butterly delicious.

For mothers day she wanted me to cook her something. I got a good recipe from a friend that is a wasabi aoli over seared tuna, rice, and asparagus. The aoli is made by combining about 1cup of mayo, 1tablespoon of garlic, 1teaspoon of tabasco, and about an ounce of wasabi. For the seared tuna I covered the steaks in sesame seeds and seared them in sesame oil. I made plain white rice and broiled the asparagus. I cooked the tuna steaks rare, and sliced them into thin strips, placing them around a clump of rice in the middle, and asparagus alternating with the tuna. Then I drizzled the aoli over the tuna. It was very good, even on an electric stove.
