There's so much to be scared of, and not much to make sense of.: May 2007

a holiday.

nothing much.
just the usual slacking.
mum bought this sushi rice vinegar last week and with that she suggested to have sushi for lunch.
so we simply use what we can find in the fridge,
my brother mixed the rice,
mum and i prepared the ingredients - omelette, cucumber and fresh seaweed only.
dad went to the supermarket and bought us nori.
and with that we just gather, wrap, cut then eat along the way.
pretty messy, but kinda fun.

bakes, bakes and more bakes!

well it was my brother's birthday and mother's day the following day,
so i decided to make them a tiramisu.
i found lotsa recipes and initially settled on Cadenze's,
but it needs liquor so i decided to use this instead, which was recommended by suiyan.
but i realised they don't use whipping cream, which most of the other recipes does.
with that, i went back risking the 1st one by omitting liquor, and used just coffee to dip the fingers.
well it turned out not bad,
not very good-looking still,
but at least it stands firm haha.
I'm really glad that my family loved it.

so it's mother's day,
and my mum made me baked muffins for both of my grandmas.
haha it's really been a tired weekend.

p.s. I sincerely apologise for the recent entries on baking. Trust me, i think it's just one of those non-lasting interests haha.

cheese and chive scones.

I was craving for something cheesy and i remembered seeing this recipe from karen's site,
and since i have the ingredients for it, i decided to bake again.
My scones came out to be too flat, haha more like cookies.
I should have made them thicker.
The recipe didn't state what cheese should I use so in the end i decided on cheddar.
And i think i've used the wrong cheese as cheddar get burnt easily.
but nevertheless, it still taste ok, very cheesy.
I guess i'll try making them with some other cheese next time.

strawberry and white chocolate muffins.

I came upon maya's site a few days back,
and i felt really inspired to bake something.
with that, i decided to, and eventually, spent 20 bucks on the ingredients,
drag them along from one supermarket to another, searching for strawberries.

I'm glad that after all the hard work,
the muffins came out to be though not perfect, but in good shape.
well since my brother actually asked if he could have a second helping,
i guess it doesn't taste bad either.
and now,
i feel so encouraged to try other wonderful recipes from her site as well.
