Yuca bread is delicious....

... but, alas, is really hard to make!

Two weekends ago, my mom and I tried to make yucca bread. We followed a recipe from food network and made a slight alteration of adding egg yolk instead of just egg whites.  As you can see below, the results were yucca pancakes instead!  They were still tasty.  A happy mistake, I say!

Food Network's Version



our version: before


our version: after

I had a hankering for yucca bread after having them at Calle Ocho, a cuban restaurante at UWS.  I think I single-handedly (single-mouthedly?) had a dozen yucca buns.  It's the spongiest bread with the crispiest shell I have ever had.  We'll try again soon, and hopefully it'll stay in its cute, roundish shape then!

In other Jenbo news, my pepper plant is almost all red!  Picture from two weeks ago.  By now, all but 1 pepper are red and there are still new ones coming in! Yay!
