Cooking FRENZY!!

 Hi guys. While being MIA online. I have not been idle at home. I learn the cutting technique to make a swan apple as u can see above.

 I also make pancake from scratch~ wohooo~

The chocolate pudding is the Pondan Mix. Pondan mix is awesome I tell u. very smooth + vanilla custard. Yummy~

THE AWESOME APPLE PIE!!! I made batch of yummy apple pie from scratch. The dough is kinda tricky, but the apple filling is quite easy to make. I was beaming with pride when we manage to make this apple pie. Coz we have limited material and no proper oven so I need to get creative~ Overall it went well as u can see below. <3

Today I make pizza~ Dough + sauce = from scratch just add sausage and cheese. I don't really like making dough it's so confusing but somehow I manage to do it. Tada~

You all must be shocked that I suddenly dumped all these pics here. Rest assured tmrw I am going to post each food with the recipe so u guys can make it at home. Hihi~  Good Day~

Blogging

Hey, guys! Sorry haven't been posting for awhile. I wonder where Silvia disappeared to. How have you all been? I'm glad I'm still consistently in touch with Marsha. Silvia, get yourself an iPhone as well! 

I read Marsha's posts about cookies and they made me so hungry! 

I want to blog but I don't know what to write? noooooooooooooo... IDEAS PLEASE!!!

Continuation of the cookie episode..

This links to my previous post so if you haven't read it read that first.

So.. I know I'm only supposed to leave it until it hardens for 4-5 hours as instructed.. But last night I was soooo tired coz got home at 10+ was from taka as well, so this morning I got up and after waaay past 12 hours in the fridge, I took out my dough and it..

Flattened, ladies and gentlemen~

I went ahead and cut it anyways, as best and uniformly as i could, and laid it on neatly top of the oven tray, which to my surprise fits perfectly (so this recipe makes 7*4) had it have been any other shapes I'm not sure of how it turns out..

Popped it into the preheated oven at 160 degrees for 18 min and afterwards, turning the oven off an leaving it to cool with the oven..

as you can see some were baked more than others.. hmph

ta-da~!

End result: not sure if I haven't baked it enough, but I think it turned out well.. Crumbles like a cookie, soft, fragrant (the sesameees) and not too sweet.. in fact, it feels like the Chinese cookies: minimal sweetness. Yup.

I'd rate this a 5/10, purely out of preference (I like my cookies chewy/gooey with melted chocolate or otherwise) and also because I'm not really sure if this is the optimal taste for cookies made this way.. But overall, I enjoyed the experience of making it. Yay~!

Minna-san GAMBAROU~!! <3 <3

A 3pm log..

So it is a Sunday and I have time to spare before my 5pm church service.. I've recently been following this magazine called 'Ray' - a fashion magazine originated from Japan that includes fashion style tips, make up tips, hairstyle tips, product reviews and sometimes they have included a few beauty recipes inside .. The last month was various types of juices.. But for September, they include this! (I love this mag sooo much) <3

Not sure how this post will turn out coz I'm using the blogger app so I can upload photos easier. But yeah, after much deliberation, I decided to make it. Credit of recipes goes to... Ms Carol of http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/carol-jay/

The ingredients.

Me measuring out the flour needed (240g).

In the end, only this much is needed: 2 tablespoons of white and black sesame each (its supposed to be cooked, I bought roasted), 80g icing sugar, 240g flour (on recipe: low-gluten, I used the normal kind: all-purpose), 80g unsalted butter, 1 egg (I use medium-sized) and a clear clean plastic bag. :)

Put them all inside the plastic bag.

Then, 'knead' them tgth. More like try to mix them and fold them all in. It's a unique experience, I've never made my cookies like this before in my life. A little review on this technique, based on just now the experience, I feel like it wasn't as efficient as if I were to do it by hand (bowl and spatula) or machine (that would've be much faster) but the good thing is that it really eliminates wastage, washing and the mess that I would've otherwise made. Also I don't necessarily have to do it in the kitchen coz, again, it's clean, not messy.

Some more pictures..

This was comparing the initial color of the overall dough to the book picture.. Mine still looks flour-y..

I know it's done when it can make its own sculpture inside the bag.. Look, art!

This is the colour comparison now, looking more solid...

And the last thing to do before refrigerating it for 4-5 hours as instructed is to roll it into a roll shape so I'm doing that and into the fridge it goes! (as you might wanna guess, this is on top of living room coffee table lols) So yup, popping this into the fridge..

See you in another 4-5 hours! (I should be working on this after coming back from church)
