chocolate cake day

i was supposed to bake cupcakes today..should be my 1st attempt..
but this morning i realised i short of eggs...adoii..mcm mana la boleh tak perasan tak de telur ni..eisykk eisykk eisykk..ada 3 biji je..resepi cakap nak 4 biji..so tadi masa buat, agak kalut la nak kira balik ingredients for 3 eggs..seriously..i tatau apa nak jadi dgn kek ni..now it just got into the oven..praying hard for it to b wonderfully nice..ok, thts a too good to b true dream..i would b more than happy if it is edible enuff, at least for afiq..kalau afiq pun tak makan, i dont think anyone else dare to give it a try..thanx to him, my choc chip cookies last weekend licin!!!hehe

my nephews semua jenis senang makan..dari yg kecik sampai ke besar...if i tak abis makan apa2, bagi kat diorg je, gerenti licin pinggan :p

n everything tht i make, they usually makan dgn penuh berselera even though i think takat cukup2 boleh makan je rasanya..hehe ..good la anak2 sedara i ni...tunggu la raya nnt, makin banyak la experiments yang su lin nak buat utk korang try... :)

what's for bfast today?

today mom woke me up early for solat subuh, then asked me to go out with her to buy bfast for dad..i want to make my own this morning..

so, remember abt the tortillas i bought the other day?i decided to give it a try..so i make some nuggets and scramble egg..add up with sandwich mayonnaise and cheese for the fillings, stuffed it in the tortilla, folded it and baked it in microwave for 50 secs..the result...taa daa....

my 1st tortilla

the taste is ok la jugak ..hehe ..tp kenyang betul..i makan 3/4 je..so still got left overs -1/4 tortilla, nuggets and scramble egg..

for the drinks, i make my favourite fruit smoothies..in case u didnt know,i really like smoothies now..yogurt drink and fresh milk are 2 things that r wajib to b in the fridge nowadays..what's so good abt smoothies?well, since i makan vege sekali-sekala and i boring asyik makan the same fruits ari2 (we got some fruit trees around the house and my parents dont eat them..so i je la kena makan)..so my solution, make it as a drink..coz bila buat drinks,kita guna byk buah..so cpt skit abis..besides, fruit smoothies have a lot of fibres, so it really helps u in the toilet :p..but then, i only hv 'pauh ringan' a.k.a mangga kecik..so kalau buat air , most probably jadi masam skit..thts y i buat smoothies, the recipe?easy ..

my fav smoothies in my fav ikea cup :)

to make a cup of fruit smoothies :-

1/2 cup fresh milk

1/2 cup yogurt drink (what ever flavour u like..i prefer mix tropical..coz we can add in any fruits later ..tp kalau yg specified pun ok jugak)

fruits..as much as u want n what ever u wish..i biasa guna apple, lai, pauh ringan, pisang ..what ever i have in the fridge

blend everything up..if u like it cool, add some ice pun ok..tp since i store all the ingredients in fridge, bila blend tu, still cool a bit..i dont like it to b too cold..but then, its up to ur personal preferences...i bagi idea je from the experiments ive attempted..so far, this is my best recipe..besides milkshake la..the recipe for milkshake, u can get from cili's comment in my previous post..but basically its just a mixture of ice cream and milk..if u like it creamier, put more ice cream..for choc milkshake, u can add up choc bar as well..i guna cooking choc je..hehe...siap blh garnish with grated choc..mcm i showed in my previous post..ok..la..thts all..feel free to give it a try

p/s : im so hooked up with cooking..i dont even hv interest in reading anymore..hmm..should i or should i not take the exam eh?

awful

had an ok day today until i got a phone call late evening which ..er how should i put it?ruined my day?sort of..i got frustrated after that n everything seems so wrong..
was cracking my head to find a way out..went out after Maghrib coz i need to get something for rosas's n siti's sis wedding..but shopping when u r in unstable mood is useless..i cant figure out what should i buy..so i just bought wrapping papers and cards instead..
when i got home, i knew i got to do something to get me out of this moody mood..so i cooked tom yam based on the recipe i got yesterday from the net..but the outcome is awful..really awful..but im glad it turned out tht way..funny..feels like all the bitterness has finally got out of me..

hmm..didnt know that eating something awful can taste this sweet

mee goreng mamak

ari ni i try goreng mee mamak .ikut recipe dlm internet..tp since some of the ingredients tak de kat umah, so i tukar2 la skit..end up i dunno what i did..hahaha..tapi blh la nk makan..black pepper chicken ari tu ada lagi skit..so i abiskan skali..pastu ari ni satu ari tdo je..

i heran la dgn maxis ni..last 2 weeks, there's one guy called me, claimed he's from maxis..dia cakap i got rebate rm 10 monthly for the next 6 months..pas tu this morning, sorg lagi call, cakap i got 1 supplementary line for free..tp free part registration je laa..dok sibuk2 borak dgn dia..i cakap la..kalau nk bagi takat supp line je..i tak nak, tp kalau blh tukarkan my sis's no jadi my family package ..ok la..as i guessed, mmg tak leh..so sorry la..not interested..if amik supp line, i kena tanggung bil..family sumer dh ada hp n no sendiri..takkan nk bagi kat kawan kot eh?apehal i nk tanggung bil org yg bukan family ye tak?kedekut mmg kedekut ..tp tak kuasa la saya nk jd pemurah sgt :p

nubhan & stacy

i love this couple la..so sweet...i hope stacy will win AF6..

oh..btw just now i make 2nd attempt of vanilla milkshake..still tak jadi la :( .. hmm the other day i ada terbaca we hv to use 'pure vanilla extract' or 'vanilla bean' kalau guna vanilla flavour/essence, they will leave a bitter taste at the end..bila i check my vanilla betul2..it is vanilla essence..so may b sbb tu kot my milkshake jadi tak sedap..half n half tu dh betul..
but i dh penah cari dulu..tak jumpa la kat sini..mcm mana ni?my other recipes pun byk require 'pure vanilla extract' ..my vanilla essence pun dh tinggal separuh..coz i tot kalau i put byk2..i can make the taste better..hmm..makin pahit ada laa :p

since G still kat KL now, i hope he can look for the vanilla extract there..tu pun kalau dia sempat keluar shopping jap la..i hope he can

what else?

hmm..
i want to make something tonite..but what eh?hmm..

was surfing on how to make ice cream, apple pie, shortbread with filling..eh banyaknya i nak try..kak jae said buying cheesecake worth more than baking it urself..ye ke?well..i admit, my cheesecake doesnt look sharp n pretty like the one sold at Secret Recipe..but the taste is almost equivalent what?plus the satisfaction tht i got after eating a cake that i bake myself is beyond words....aah..remember abt my milkshake last nite?i was thinking the whole nite y my vanilla shake doesnt taste like McD's ..but the choc shake is marvellous..today i know y..in the recipe, it says tht we need half-and-half.. i have no idea wht was it..so i assumed it meant whipped cream..just now, i found what it exactly means..actually it is a mixture of cream and whole milk..but which cream?whipped cream?heavy whipped cream?is whole milk=condensed milk?can i use fresh milk?i dont like my shake to b too sweet..n i dont take condensed milk..if i use anlene ok ke?..eisyk..who should i ask ehh?

oh..here is an open note to G (i hope he reads this)...
-please email me the board game u showed me last 2 weeks..
-please explain to me again on how to manage our accounts (based on the board game)
-please PICK UP UR PHONE WHEN IT RINGS !!!

shake..shake..shake..

caramel gula hangus

to those of u who think i cant cook...u better think again..eh, at least i can cook few simple, yet mouth watering dishes tau hehehe (damn, im so proud of myself for that :p)
ok today lets cook caramel gula hangus.FYI its classified as dessert. i learnt this when i was in form 1...or was it form 2?cant really remember. but back then, the teacher taught us to do in one loyang..so its quite big,considering now im being the 'single child' for my parents, n both of them r on strict diabetic and hypertensive diet, it will b such a waste to make one loyang of caramel just for myself, rite?

yesterday, i told my mom im craving for caramel..homemade caramel bcoz the one they sold at bazaar Ramadhan tak sedap.its too hard coz they add in flour.so mom gave me this recipe..its actually 1/10 of the recipe i learnt when i was a student.so it will make a small caramel,just nice for one serving..here it goes :

Ingredients
1+1+1 (1 egg+1 tablespoon of sugar +1 tablespoon of condensed milk)
a bit vanilla essense (coz i love the smell)

Methods
1. Cook (or should i say burn?)the sugar in ur small loyang
2. Beat egg with milk +vanilla essence well
3. After the sugar burnt (turned brownish), pour in the mixture into the loyang
4. Kukus till it cooked well.

easy ehh?
to those beginner, u might b surprised when the sugar started to burn coz it will smelt hangit..dont worry..thts the reason y they called it CARAMEL GULA HANGUS..hehehe

do try..very easy one i tell u..n the result is superb!!

so for those who was thinking to come over to my house but afraid i wont serve anything, pls do not worry...cikai2 pun i will make this caramel for u :)

p/s : i cant put a pic of my masterpiece yet coz yesterday we cooked it in a very cikai bekas, its quite big for 2 eggs mixture so the caramel was a bit thin..wait, i will buy a suitable bekas/loyang for a small size caramel, then i will get the pic ready for u guys to see

p/s 2 : to those of u who likes less sweet, just reduce the sugar n milk..it will taste great :)
