LIFE IS A PIECE OF CAKE. STAY SWEET! ( Ang buhay ay isang piraso ng keyk. Manatiling matamis!)

See that succulent chocolate mousse? Mouth watering right? ;) First up, NO, this ain't a food blog or baking video. This content is about LIFE. How random & unexpected this life is yet so pleasant & fulfilling to our experience. Life is indeed a piece of cake, and to be more specific, A CHOCOLATE MOUSSE. ;)

"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get."

The infamous line of Forrest Gump. And i couldn't agree more.
As we live our lives day by day, we have no idea what will happen next. Even if you are the most critical thinker or the best planner living right now, you will never know what life will be going to give you. Yet we live, we survive, we press on. Everyday is a new experience, you will only know what life is when you have actually lived by the moment. If you haven't took a bite from it, how would you know if it's good or bad, bitter or sweet?

FYI: Chocolates we as all know, was not always sweet. They offer a wide range of taste, from unsweetened, bittersweet, milk chocolate, and whole lot more. Check out this link for a detailed look on the types of chocolates.

How about little history of Chocolate Mousse?

The origins of chocolate mousse are relatively unknown. After being introduced to chocolate by the Spanish, French chefs have been cooking with chocolate since the early 17th century. Mousse, which means "foam", originated in France in the 18th century. It was only a matter of time until cooking with chocolate and making dishes with foamy textures came together for "mousse au chocolat."

The first written record of chocolate mousse in the United States comes from a Food Exposition held at Madison Square Garden in New York City in 1892. A "Housekeeper's Column" in the Boston Daily Globe of 1897 published one of the first recipes for chocolate mousse. The recipe yielded a chocolate pudding-type dish, instead of today's stiff, but fluffy, mousse.

WHAT? LIFE LIKE A PIECE OF CHOCOLATE MOUSSE? R U KIDDIN' MEH?

When you look at that temptingly sweet and moist treat, it has a lot of layers, pretty much like our life . On the outside there is the icing, the sugary sweet coating, signified by us being presentable to our society, to be easy to eyes and be acceptable to the majority. Then comes in the differently colored mousse layers that tells us what really is in our innermost being. They maybe dark in nature, a neutral & balanced character, or a weak and wimpy attitude. Nevertheless, life is undoubtedly a piece of cake; it's short, sweet & needs to be enjoyed to it's fullest.

Savor every step of the way, concoct fantastic acquaintances, and munch to your hearts desire. (　＾∇＾)

Nakikita mo ba ang chocolate mousse na ito? Nakakapanlaway di ba? ;) Una, HINDI ito isang blog ng pagkain o baking video. Ang nilalaman nito ay tungkol sa BUHAY. Gaano ka random at hindi inaasahang ang buhay na ito ngunit ito ay kaaya-aya at nkakapuno sa ating karanasan. Ang buhay ay talagang isang piraso ng keyk, at upang maging mas tiyak, A CHOCOLATE MOUSSE. ;)

"Ang buhay ay tulad ng isang kahon ng mga tsokolate. Hindi mo alam kung ano ang sunod na makukuha mo."

Ang pinakasikat na linya ni Forrest Gump. At ako ay labis na sumasang ayon.
Habang nabubuhay tayo sa araw-araw, wala tayong ideya kung ano ang mangyayari sa susunod. Kahit na ikaw ang pinaka-kritikal na palaisip o ang pinakamahusay na tagaplano na nabubuhay sa ngayon, hindi mo malalaman kung ano ang dadating sa buhay mo. Ngunit tayo ay buhay, nakakaraos, at sumusulong. Araw-araw ay isang bagong karanasan, ikaw lang ang nakakaalam kung ano buhay ay kapag aktwal na ikaw ay nanirahan sa pamamagitan ng mga sandali. Kung hindi ka pa kumagat niito, paano mo malalaman kung ito ay masarap o hindi, mapait o matamis?

FYI: Mga tsokolate na alam namin lahat, ay hindi laging matamis. Inaalok ang mga ito ng isang malawak na hanay ng lasa, mula sa unsweetened, bittersweet, gatas na tsokolate, at marami pa.

Kaunting kasaysayan ng Chocolate Mousse?

Ang mga pinagmulan ng chocolate mousse ay medyo hindi kilala. Matapos ipakilala sa tsokolate ng Espanyol, ang mga chef ng Pransya ay nagluluto na ng tsokolate mula noong unang bahagi ng ika-17 siglo. Si Mousse, na nangangahulugang "bula", ay nagmula sa France noong ika-18 siglo. Ito ay lamang ng isang oras ng oras hanggang sa pagluluto ng tsokolate at paggawa ng mga pinggan na may foamy texture ay magkasama para sa "mousse au chocolat."

Ang unang nakasulat na rekord ng tsokolate muss sa Estados Unidos ay nagmumula sa isang Food Exposition na ginanap sa Madison Square Garden sa New York City sa 1892. A "Housekeeper's Column" sa Boston Daily Globe ng 1897-publish na isa tsokolate pudding-type dish, sa halip na ngayon matigas, ngunit mahimulmol, mousse.

ANO? Ang buhay ay parang isang piraso ng CHOCOLATE MOUSSE? Binibiro mo ba ako?

Kapag tiningnan mo ang nkakaenganyong matamis at moist treat na ito, halos tulad ng ating buhay. Sa labas may icing, matamis na matamis na patong, na nagpapahiwatig ng pagiging maganda sa ating lipunan, madaling maging mata at maging katanggap-tanggap sa karamihan. Pagkatapos ay dumarating sa magkakaibang kulay na mga layer ng mousse na nagsasabi sa atin kung ano talaga ang nasa ating kalooban. Marahil sila ay madilim sa likas na katangian, isang neutral at balanseng katangian, o isang mahina at sablay na saloobin. Gayunpaman, ang buhay ay walang alinlangang isang piraso ng cake; ito ay maikli, matamis at kailangang tangkilikin ito na sagad.

Masigla sa bawat hakbang, makagawa ng mga kamangha-manghang kakilala, at kumain ng may ganadong puso. (^ ∇ ^)

Pretty much this is me in my everyday life.
