IMBB 6: kelaguen mannok this wednesday, july 21st, is the 60th anniversary of guam's liberation by us forces from japanese occupation in world war 2. although the core of the many events is solemn, it *is* a celebration of and by the local people, known as chamorros. for my first "is my blog burning?" entry, i wanted to submit a chamorro dish in honour of the unique culture of the island. i decided on kelaguen mannok, chicken kelaguen, which is a standard local dish. it is basically a chopped chicken ceviche-type dish with freshly grated coconut, hot red chilis, and onions. however simple it is, it comes with a complex history reflecting guam's native culture, the influence from hispanic, latino, and filipino cultures during its time in the 16th century spanish empire, and the far east asian influence during the japanese occupation in the 1940s. this is what you'll need: this is what you'll do: put all the ingredients in a bowl. mix them up. adjust the acid--is it not lemony enough for you? i hope you enjoy it!

The Best Vegan Chocolate Cake The Best Vegan Chocolate Cake- A quick and easy recipe, made in 1 bowl! This really is the best chocolate cake ever, vegan or otherwise. It’s super moist, rich and full of chocolate. My birthday was a few weeks ago, so what did I do?

I’ve also made a few of the vegan chocolate cake recipes out there, but even those weren’t quite moist enough or perfect enough for my taste.

No-Bake Black Bottom Vanilla Bean Cheesecake - Bake or Break I have a long-standing love of cheesecakes. They’re one of my favorite desserts to make and, of course, to eat. As much as I enjoy baking traditional cheesecakes, I have a bit of a soft spot for the no-bake variety. Maybe it’s their simplicity, or maybe it’s their soft, fluffy texture. Either way, I love to whip up one whenever I need a simple dessert to share or just when I’ve got a craving for one. I’ve made many different kinds of cheesecakes over the years with various flavor twists and such, but this beauty is a reminder that sometimes the simple things are all you need. By simple, I certainly don’t mean to imply a lack of flavor. You’ll need the seeds of one to two vanilla beans for this cheesecake. If you like, all that vanilla cheesecake filling is perfectly delicious all on its own in a cookie crumb pie crust. The no-bake in the title of the recipe comes with an asterisk. I just love this simple cheesecake. Find more cheesecake recipes in the Recipe Index. Ingredients Notes
