Hmmm, maybe 4 days out and 3 days in. that’ll be a plan. :)<BR/><BR/>evan 이벤젤린, haha! I bake for fun, actually. And thanks for the compliment. That’s an honour coming from a great baker herself. :) nope, I didn’t use mutton cos the friends/family dislike the smell of it. So, I thought spinach would be a more universal choice.<BR/><BR/>mmi, thank kew, thank kew!!! :) it’s really fun to try out new things! Hey, do give it a try! :)<BR/><BR/>live2talk, oooh, sounds hot! Yupe, I guess good food is indeed orgasmic. I climax when I think of kl style fried hokkien mee sometimes..ok, glutinous rice dumplings as well. And pork noodles. And…arrrggghhh! Lol! Thank you so much for the compliment, sweetie. :)<BR/><BR/>chuishia, yupe, yupe! I definitely agree! Like what the Chinese say, when the eastern house is closed, beat the western house lah..haha! cooking is one of the ways to go, really. It’s only at breaking points like these that we see a sliver lining through the cracks. :)<BR/><BR/>sample my cooking? Omg! You are a very brave woman! my food is sometimes inedible one leh. Hmmm, ok, when I have the confidence to cook for a crowd, you and zenboy are definitely invited! :)<BR/><BR/>thenomadGourmand, oh no, macaroons take lotsa skills. I’ll leave that to the experts like bbo and evan. I can only make simple secondary school science projects la..:) omg, so sorry to hear about your friends’ retrenchments. And so nice of you to bake them cookies! Durian at that!!! :) yupe, food is the next best thing after alcohol. Ok ,that is so wrong! Haha!<BR/><BR/>jason, thanks for the compliment dude! I gave it a shot and just prayed for the best..haha! it’s fun to try out new stuff! ;)<BR/><BR/>simon, how I wish that is true. But apparently not in my case leh. Hahaha! I guess when they say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, it works the other way round as well. *flipping more books to improve cooking to win girls’ hearts* lol!HairyBerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17523068919917998534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903388640691349615.post-2780123034633282862009-02-11T08:56:00.000+08:002009-02-11T08:56:00.000+08:00kenny, oh, the dumbbell thingy. Well, iron mah, so...kenny, oh, the dumbbell thingy. Well, iron mah, so I thought of spinach lor..haha! talking about the waist, am gonna do something about mine too!<BR/><BR/>You are welcome! Lol! I think I will skip all the bacon/onions drama next time and just put a slice of lean bacon and a dash of black pepper. That’ll work, me thinks.<BR/><BR/>Of course can offer you some when I make ‘em lah. I just hope that they are edible cos I am afterall, still testing with the bread and fillings. Hehehe….<BR/><BR/>yin, oh yeah! I remember you told me you had a bag of dried tomatoes. Cool! Thanks ya! will try to see what I can do with it. I have another jar from a friend as well. Belum bukak lagi..hehe (greedy hor?)<BR/><BR/>ck lam, I added spinach because I thought it’ll be lighter and partially cos not all my friends/family enjoy the gamey taste of mutton. It goes well with cheese and I think perhaps cream as well. :)<BR/><BR/>selba, awww, so sweet of you lah!!! Thanks. Yeah, food has this therapeutic effect on ppl. And that’s a problem as well cos sometimes we (me..hehe) tend to overstuff ourself. Then, it’s time for the gym…it’s a vicious cycle! Haha!<BR/><BR/>xiu long bao, haha, I bet u thought the samsas look like some objects from x-files when I told you about ‘em. Thanks for the ‘idea’ and the reading material (hehehehe) and I shall attempt other stuffs too. Hmmm, how about cheese-stuffed green peppers? :)<BR/><BR/>cumi & ciki, I’m even better at irritating friends! Hahaha! But awww, thanks for the compliment. As for the great baker, omg, I’m definitely not lar…am just trying out the other side of life and have fun with it. :) a great baker is someone like fbb cos I think his recipes work and pretty inspirational as well. hey, u bake too? I wanna try! :)<BR/><BR/>550ml jar of faith, thanks so much for the compliment! *keeping the gold in the safety box in case the economy worsens..haha!* I was making the samsa when the thought hit me. I guess life and food are two inseparable things. Finding the link between them is where the real fun is. ;)HairyBerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17523068919917998534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903388640691349615.post-35176792653305805402009-02-11T07:50:00.000+08:002009-02-11T07:50:00.000+08:00Nic, a man that can cook can get the girl he loves...Nic, a man that can cook can get the girl he loves.Simon Seowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04114322470329271880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903388640691349615.post-63701799285390105842009-02-10T22:09:00.000+08:002009-02-10T22:09:00.000+08:00Waaaa...
