I was asked to cater for tea for a course that runs for 14 weeks. They had already finished 2 weeks so there's 12 weeks for me to cater for them. Finger, tiny, bite size food are really nice to look at but really hard to do! BUT ( there's a butt again ), their budget is really low as participants goes for the course for free! So working with a low budget isn't easy. Thankfully, the food they need are small and (hopefully) can cover the cost and perhaps make profits in the weeks to come! (:

So I had to come up with a list of possible food and the kind aunty, replied my email almost instantly with awesome powerful English. I looked at my email to her and..*facepalm* I need to buck up on my England like alot! :S

And so she did suggest I leave my namecard/contact number. I think it's very rush to do so now. or so i really think so! and, I need help in getting a name for this possible small business. came across some and...whatyathink?

Running outta ideas or some names just doesn't really look appealing to me. and running outta time!. time to send the brother to work. Till then.

crazy

 At this rate, I am amazed how I can survive the many events happening. Especially when this one is running around, like he's high on some sugar, or when he's super manja, or when he just wants attention, or when he turns my room into some playground, or when he demands food which he can't eat for these three months. really, somebody please help me!

 So I went to the morning market yesterday morning and bought some fruits, bananas included. BUT yeah big butt, I forgot to take it outta the plastic bag and it was left in it till this morning. With the hot hot hot weather of Malaysia yesterday, obviously, it became too ripe! I think someone ate one or two. I was thinking of baking a banana cake so I took the butter out to soften. I had to go out, so when i came home, my mum had taken out some yogurt cause she wanted some yogurt shake! booooooo So I had less bananas for the cake. I was too lazy to google or find a banana cake recipe, so I used the Durian cake recipe, just replace the durians with bananas! As I was mixing and everything, I remember Caryn's recipe was different, had milk n all, panicked a lil but went on mixing, added some almond flakes, went into the oven and......

It'll be better if there were more bananas in it! oh wells.

Ben met this person somewhere which bakes Macaroons. He bought some and....nah

It's a lil flat. But not as flat as mine. and huge! this is so like M&M's!


As I still have some cream cheese left, I decided to make these lovelies as I've always wanted to make this for so many years but malas. Making the tart shells is so...okay la its worth making them. BUT (butt again) I should have baked the tart shells longer. The tart shell looks really pale.

I reduced the sugar and it turned out a lil salty even though I used unsalted butter (?!) Imma bake this again because I is not happy with the results. I'm gonna mix match some recipes together. (:

Day Eight

Just when I was about to type something nais in here, my mum walked passed me and commented, " Girl, i think you should cut down on eating cookies or anything you bake. Can see your tummy." thanks mummyyyyy! hello diet!


Day Eight - Your Internet Friend.

I'm not quite sure who is my internet friend cause, I know everyone, as in I've met everyone i know in the internet that's on whatever social network that is. Not a fan of knowing someone ramdomly. :P

updates

just a lil update. with tons of food pictures. you have been warned! (:

 there was a Monday where Ben and I were just cleaning the house and we went out about lunch time to run errands. We were going places and we realised we haven't eaten since morning! Since we had some deadline, we thought of going to different places, places nearby where we were. Ben was craving for CheeCheongFun. But who in the world still opens that at about 5pm?? In the end we feasted in VaryPasta in DJ. (:

 these are really to die for!

 (tira)missu attempt number one!
i thought this was gonna be a failure cause when i placed them ladyfingers, it was floating with the creamcheese. but it did turn out well! Alcohol will added the next time round! (:

 I had some pasta left, tomatoes, cucumbers, and tons of cheese. A simple lunch but SUPER FILLING and fattening.

 Almost had a heart attack looking at the ingredients for these lovelies. Its nothing but icing sugar, almond powder, more icing sugar, egg whites and more icing sugar! these lovelies looks flat because i reduced the icing sugar. not a very smart move, but i couldn't stand the sweetness. omg imagine measuring dunno how many cups of icing sugar, i just cannot stand it! Made these Cinnamon macaroons with cream cheese + a lil lemon. Added lemon juice to make it a lil sour so it won't be too sweet. Verdict? IT WAS STILL very  SWEET!

 ahhh these lovelies. Always wanted to try baking them but turned off by the sight of the colouring. Even for this, recipe asked for 2 1/2 TABLESPOON of red colouring, i only put in 1 1/2, and still so red :S i shall reduced less colouring, more cocoa?

 Mum came home from a function with two bottles of wine. One red wine, the other is white wine. She pestered me to use those wine to cook. Don't know why but it was left sitting around for about a month, and she still asked me. So just last Friday, I decided to cook some beef stew. my first time. and it required baking. so i left it in the oven and told her dinner's in the oven as I went out for a Worship night with SidneyMohede and his team. It was just awesome by the way. anywayyys, i only managed to take a pic and taste it on sunday afternoon! By the time i ate, the wine has soaked the beef really well! yummers!

 Dad kept complaining mine doesn't look like how the rat in Ratatouille cooks. ): oh well. i didn't eat it. :P

 chunky nutty chocolate with some shortbread base. this.is.really.addictive! I've been munching on these like non-stop!

 ahhhhhhhh durian cake <3 mylove for durian has returned! (:

Did you ever had that feeling where you need to sleep, to get much rest, to be able to have energy for the next few days of events but you just can't sleep no matter what you do? yeap.

I've done much grocery shopping early this week and I'm beginning to think i bought too much. How too much is too much? I have no idea. but come to think of it, there are so many mouth's to feed but then again, everyone seems to be on a diet and not eating much. but then again, almost everyone is recovering from whatever sickness one has.

This past two weeks has been a real test. Having to stay up past 3am and even 5am. no joke. I'm beginning to wonder too that I run on some hidden energy source somewhere stored in my body. :S ...who knows, I'm probably the real EnergizerBunny ;)

This past few weeks has also rocked the world in Asia, Malaysia, specifically. Where the opposition wanted to have a gathering, but it was made illegal by parties that didn't want them to have the rally. Their purpose? To have a clean elections, in the coming one. no bribe, no nothing. clean elections. but certain parties had to make things worst, but, it didn't burn the fire in these committed people, citizens. Citizens who wants real change. Citizens who wants to make a difference in this land. Citizens who are willing to sacrifice whatever it cost, to see a change in this nation. I'm glad for people who wants change. Good change of course!

Obviously, there are still lotsa baking and cooking around the house. There will be more coming soon. but for now, Ikea Meatball Craving are met, and it taste more delicious when its homemade (:

what you want and what you need

is the same thing? NOOO!


watching alotta cartoons again. Seriously, what can you do with a child who is sick? Watch more cartoons! Let's just hope this ends quickly. I need my sleep.
