Filipino Recipes - Sans Rival Cake Recipe - Pinoy Food

Whenever I hear the word Sans rival, I always remember my high school best friend who gave her crush the same secret name because it is her favorite cake. Imagine a boy named Sans Rival... can't help but giggle at the thought.

Sans rival is a cake that you would like to have every day, unless you are trying to slim down. It is creamy, tasty, sweet, with bits and pieces of cashew nuts that makes the cake even more delightfully delicious. I tried baking it myself using this recipe that I got from no other than my best friend. Yes, the same one I mentioned earlier.

What Is ICC Authority?

All transportation companies need an operating authority issued by the former Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) which is now maintained by the Department of Transportation (DOT). You as a trucker also need this operating authority. For commercial trucking and commercial truckers it is an unavoidable permit or authority. When you carry commodities over different state lines, you need this ICC authority along with truck Insurance and Cargo Insurance. While getting the ICC authority check with your home state rules and regulations. Your home state may have some regulation regarding loading and unloading of the items. For truckers an ICC authority means you have a permit to carry different items and goods within state and interstate.

Now instead of the ICC, ICC authority applications are handled by two agencies under the USDOT. To get ICC authority, you do not need any experience; you just need to apply for it. ICC authority decides which companies are permitted as truckers/carriers. It also decides the service that these companies will offer and the charges that they can take from the customers.

ICC authority means Operating authority. ICC refers to Interstate Commerce Commission. ICC authority now means federal operating authority that looks after the rules governing transport companies for hire across the different state lines.

ICC authority is a term used to mean a legal permission or a business license. This is granted by a federal or state transportation governing agency. This permit or license is needed by the for hire transportation agency or the truckers.

According to the law, if you are a trucker, you should have a ICC operating authority. If you are operating without it, then you are really taking a big risk.

It is better not to operate till you get the authority. When you, as a trucker, operate within a specific commercial zone then you can operate without such authority but if you plan on going beyond this zone then make sure that you have the authority to.

Biscuit Joinery

Biscuit joinery and dowel joinery are two easy ways to connect two boards together. These techniques are particularly useful when constructing cabinets, shelving or joining boards together to produce a flat surface, such as a table top. They are most popular when joining flat woods, such as plywood, particle board, or MDF (medium density fiberboard). You may want to join two boards together to make a custom width board for shelves or other projects. Here we will discuss a few tips for making your doweling or biscuit joining job a success.

First, we'll discuss what a biscuit is. A biscuit is almost like a flat piece of dowel. It is usually two to four inches long and is shaped like a football. A slot is cut into a piece of wood, the biscuit is inserted with glue, and then joined with a corresponding slot in the opposing piece of wood. The two pieces are clamped together and allowed to bond. Be careful not to squeeze out all of the glue when you use clamps.

Biscuit

Most woodworkers prefer to use a plate joiner tool to drill the holes for biscuits. You can use a router, but many people consider using a router more dangerous. Using a plate joiner keeps the blade encased behind a blade guard so that you cannot cut yourself. Make sure that you study the safety rules and follow the usage instructions that come with your plate joiner, exactly.

To use the plate joiner, start by making your marks. Put your two pieces together and make a pencil mark where you want your biscuit to go. Remember that the biscuit will be hidden, so there is some play room with the placement. Simply set the depth of the blade to where you want it and line up the guide with your marks. You can set the bevel angle if you are not making a simple right angle cut. The motor should be running at full speed before you begin your cut.

You will notice that the cuts are slightly longer than the biscuit itself. This gives you a little extra room for error and makes a space for the glue to set. Simply position your boards together and line them up before you clamp them down to dry. Once dry, the joints will be almost as strong as a dowel joint.

Using dowels for joinery is a little trickier, as lining them up must be precise, but it is still the preferred method for many woodworkers. Once you master biscuit joinery and doweling, you can move on up to learning mortise and tenon joints.

Biscuits: Sweet Potato Biscuit Recipe and a Cheese Biscuit Recipe

One of the best tasting breakfast recipes for the fall months is sweet potato biscuits. We also love to serve
them at parties; making a mini version, cut with a cutter about a inch diameter and putting country ham on them.
If you were from where we're from, you would be putting Smithfield country ham on them, truly one of the best, is not
the best hams in the world. Regardless, we hope you will try these sweet potato biscuits.

Sweet Potato Biscuit Recipe

Biscuit

2 cups sweet potato - cooked and mashed

4 cups self-rising flour

1 stick butter - melted

1/2 tea baking soda

1/2 tea baking powder

1 1/4 cups buttermilk

3 Tablespoons sugar

Mix sweet potatoes, butter and milk until well blended. Stir in flour, baking
soda and sugar. Shape into a ball and knead 8-10 times on well floured board.
Roll out 3/4-1 inch thick and cut with 2" biscuit cutter. Bake on a greased baking pan in a preheated
400 degree oven 15-20 minutes until very lightly browned. Fill with some good Smithfield ham and you are good to go!

Makes about 15.

Note: I like to roughly mash the sweet potatoes instead of smoothly to get little flecks of sweet potato that you can
see in the finished biscuits.

If you need a fast and easy secret for low fat cheese biscuits, get low fat bisquick and a low fat cheddar cheese.
Hide the box. It isn't as good as fresh but few people will guess your secret.

Collecting Cookie Jars

Many people all over the world collect cookie jars. This is an incredibly broad hobby due to the infinite number of different types of cookie jars that are available. For that reason most collectors specialize in certain types of jars. Here are some ideas for what to collect:

Investment Opportunities

Cookie

If you have deep enough pockets you could collect expensive these items as an investment. As with any collectible, the older, rarer, and better the quality, the more valuable it will be. Since costs are high any appreciation in value can have a dramatic effect. For example, a 10 percent increase in the value of a ten dollar jar is only a buck. But a 10 percent valuation increase in a hundred dollar cookie jar is 10 bucks. As with any investment, this is usually a long-term process.

Favorite Characters

You can probably guess that Winnie the Pooh is a popular jar to collect. So is the Cookie Monster. Santa Claus is always popular to bring out onto the counter around Christmas. But you are not limited to cookie-related characters. There are cookie jars depicting just about every famous character.

Animals

Another favorite type of collectible centers around an animal. Do you like cows? Pigs? Cats? Dogs? You name it and you can find a cookie jar for it. Even here 'animals' is too broad to collect. Instead, focus on your favorite animal for which would like to see gleaming porcelain lined up in your kitchen. Jars depicting animals are popular with kids. Or is it the cookies inside the jar?

Memorabilia

Pick a historical time frame and you are sure to find cookie holders that will bring memories each time you see it. Whether it is old products from your childhood, or perhaps you also like to collect Americana. Famous products can also be collected. Speaking of memorabilia, perhaps the best type of jar to collect is simply one of memories. Perhaps it reminds you of grandmother's house.

Makers

Another type of collection is trying to get every type of jar a certain manufacturer makes. This would would be like trying to collect all the baseball cards made in a certain year. This can be a daunting task. But if successful, your collection could be famous!
