From the title n yea its my final day of my holidays already
luckily i had submitted my report yesterday night what a relieve~
so continue for my baking journey cos holiday its ending so i have to grab my chance to bake if not once school start think i wont have much time to do it

i did a brownie on thurs
the result came out pretty good and it was an easy bake too... =) a little sweet so sugar wise can cut down a little



as for today i did some peach muffin =) peach is my favourite fruits esp the canned ones so how can i possibly miss out a recipe with calls for peach ...and it was my first time decorating the cuppies with frosting n peaches it was fun..the cakes was nice but i think that the sugar can oso be cutted down too !

i didnt bake today cos have to take a break from baking
if not i will piles of unfinished food =x so my project today was making char siew
i went to market in the morning with my dad to have breakfast with him afterwhich i proceed with my marketing to get some fresh pork =)
the char siew is for dinner tonite and i have to marinate it for at least 4 hrs but i omitted the red powder for it but the result was great ...it was a very easy dish n my family love it i think it is a healthier choice compare to the outside ones which they roasted got the 'chao tar' la (:

tada my char siew ~

yesterday was my very first attempt in making the long - awaiting macaroons ..BUT its failed!!! i think i got the texture right jus tat it does not have the "feet" and the appearance is of kinda of ugly =x...anw i think im gonna drop this idea of making macaroons for now till then when i have more confident then i'll try it again...

here are the pics of the failed T_T macaroons





hmm today is the start of my one week's holiday and i m really happy cos i got my oven to company but kinda of loss too cos i cant keep baking everyday rite ? if not whose gonna finish the baked stuff? ... aiyo i was tempted again since im bored at home and came across a choux pastry recipe which looked kind of simple so i tried it...whooray! the puff was very nicely puffed up but im having some problems with the filling cos i do not want to make the usual custard so i tried a chocolate filling but it turn out to be watery so now all m puff is naked hhaah.. can ony filled it when consumed but im so glad =)

actually im not suppose to bake today as i am having UT tmr and i haven studied for it =x but anyway its so tempting as i came across a blog and the recipe is so simple so i cannot resist the temptation to try it out
so as the title says its my first attempt baking cake the result was not really good as i did not have any muffin tins and i use the case so it was kinda of messy but the taste wise was quite alrite..* can see that the mini cupcake are out of shape* there is some brown muffins as i modify the recipes by adding coca powder to my surprise to coca muffins tasted better as there is more choc chips but i guess i was quite fun =)

today was a happy day..haha
in the morning i went for breakfast with my mum n sis at mac (but was nearly late for school =x)
so the lesson today was genetics cos previous lesson was a little challenging so i kinda of afraid that what type of lesson i will have today. surprisingly it was pretty easy and i manage to complete everything by myself =D went for a wonderful lunch and everything was great!
came home but did not prepare dinner tonite cos i ran out of ideas of wat to cook and im kinda of lazy too ... n of course its cookie making day so i guess i so happy xD but i have to wait for my sis to come back from her tuition as she wanted to do it together..who knows i fell asleep * guess was too tired* but manage to woke up by 8p.m luckily not too late...
so here comes the cookies the recipe is from a online blog :

chocolate chip cookies ( the texture is slighty chewy and crunchy too ^^):

fresh from the oven ->


on the cooling rack~

i guess it is pretty good for a first timer (: but its a lil too sweet for me so next time i have to reduce the sugar? and this batch is quite a lot so i can halve the recipe. btw i manage to finish baking by 11pm =x so late huh but its okay its friday ma =D

as you can see from the title itself school is such a long day for me...maybe it is due to the adaptor of my lappy is faulty again >.< tomato soup with egg garlic bread cos the pasta didnt look enough for the whole family but in the end its was just nice =)

nowadays i try to cook as eating out is unhealthy and expensive and i love home cooked food...more importantly i love to cook..haha but for the dish today i didnt take pictures cos i couldnt find the camera though =x ...so glad that im going to bake cookies tmr whee~

creamy pasta
pasta (any kind)
milk
cheese
onions
tomatoes
scallops (marinate with wine and black pepper)

first , cook the pasta and drain. then fry the onions follow by scallops , add milk and stir till bubbles appear at the side but not boiling ( as previously i came across a webby stating that if boil too long it will not thicken). then add in the pasta and cheese till desired.

ps: im not a really good cook so the quantity can be self adjusted as i cook by agarations (:
