开花了！！！！

Not long ago, I started buying my first plant, a chilli plant which I named it Lily. Not long after, I got the second - A tomato plant I called Tommy. And 3 days later, I got another chilli plant, Habby the Habenero.

A photo of my plants on 31-10-2010

Within a week, Tommy has grown so much! And yesterday, I finally noticed that it is bearing flowers!! And not forgetting Lily has been bearing flowers! SO happy!!!!

Tommy's flowers (Last check this morning there are MORE!)

Lily's Flowers! They droop down. Is this normal?

Seriously, I am so looking forward to seeing my first fruits. I hope that do happen and nothing *choi* happens before that.

Bake Bake Bake

My blog has been on hiatus for quite sometimes eh. Not that I am been lazy (partly though), but I have engaged myself in a new pasttime - Baking.

Never am I a big fan when it comes to baking as I hate the amount of precision and accuracy required in baking. But I just love seeing how these sweet delights put smiles on peoples faces :D

Scones

Brownies

And not forgetting my cookies ~ Though these are simple ones, but shouldnt we start from the most basics? Beside, making an impression with the simplest stuff is much more a challenge! Haha. So what's next? Pandan chiffon and egg tarts? Erm, maybe ~

Yiros

Nice Yiros. One of the better ones I have tasted so far (Only 2 anyway). By the way, in case you dunno what are yiros, they are somewhat "greek versions of kebahs"

Yiannis - Charcoal Yiros at its best

The name card is misleading. There's another outlet at Hindley Street, Adelaide. The storeowner was very friendly and we got to taste the meats before deciding which one to get =D

DO try their lamb and chicken if you have a chance. The pork is a bit too saltish for my liking ;)

COokies Baking Epi 2

I made Macadamia and White Chocolates Cookies this time round. And it is was MUCH nicer than the previous one :D Success! 

Just another point to take note. Do not talk on the phone while the cookies are baking. Or they will end up

Burnt and in the bin ~

My First attempt in Baking

I have never really liked baking as I prefer to use "feelings" rather than measurements when it comes to cooking. But there's always a first time for everything. Hmm.. come to think of that, I did BAKE a cheesecake before......

Cookies with chocolate chips

My first attempt in baking. I made soft cookies, just like the ones from Subway. Few points to take note:

1. Cookies harden when they are cooled, not when they are heated. I made the mistake and as a result, first batch was slightly overcooked.
2. Do not start browsing through your friend's photos while baking. I did that and as a result, the second batch was CHARRED.
3. Do not follow strictly to recipes. Cut down on the SUGAR! My cookies are so damn sweet

Well, at least there's still a batch that can be shared with my friends. And I'm happy that all 4 of them (the fifth may be coming?) said that the cookies are delicious, just a bit too sweet :D. It's my first time afterall. The next will be better :D
