Mum & Daughter's Project

With my sister-in-law visit to our house my schedule became full with shopping and places to visit list.

A day before she went back to KB, me and my daughter managed to bake some cookies.

And the tricky part was to deco it properly and beautifully with royal icing where Waielah loved to get messy with the colors.

~the teddy bears are the most hot item among the kids. I managed to make only 5 colors variations this time

~After begging and jumping, and good-behaving of course, Waielah got this carousel from LL~and mummy got this...~having this mummy is still aiming for a bigger one but not yet in store fr KKHD~Waielah got a complimentary entrance to Sunway Lagoon for being below 90cm tall but she just liked the pooling activity. All the chances to play the other outdoor games were wasted~after 1.5 years been brought back fr ChatukCak Bangkok market, the onion finally produced the flowers....Am I a bad, really bad gardener?

Raya Cookies 1

With the arrival of the gigantic burner, I had decided to bake a lemon cheese cake.

But with the conflicts of baking time btw the one in the book and the burner guideline, my cake was uncooked in the middle of it.

Also baked is some Raya cookies, a mixed walnut cookies, only a small portion for the st trial, and I had only one piece of oven rack (bad ?)

The good thing is, it only takes less than 10 minutes to bake the cookies, and some of mine has gone overcooked (half charcoal).

I need to get the 2nd rack with a knowledge that it cost RM95 a pc and I joked to the tokey it comes all the way fr land of Pizza, Italy. My hubby only can connect it with his fav Salvatore Ferragamo!

~all look good from outside...the holes on the cake face are courtesy of my lil girl who can resist something tempting!~but my bad luck ; uncooked in the centre~some finely cooked cookies...Alhamdulillah!!~upon return fr supermarket, mummy's Buttercup has became a victim of this hungry creature. Mummy was in joy to see her seldomly-eating daughter, but to a butter? She loves the salty creamy taste of the soft butter lately...(for mummy its quite an expensive appetite, and not so healty too)~Mummy losts 5-10gm of the butter from the dip-and-lick process..

My Oven Gift

I had just scrapped my Butterfly electric round oven, jammed, only because the filamen has dropped down so every time the power is on the circuit will automatically switch it off.

So after begging and begging and black-mailing, hubby surrendered to UnHuat to buy me the bargained Europa Velencie 688e, at RM1000.

But he dared to call me in front of the tokey and told me its look so 'kokak/cikai/whatever(?)', and suggested a superior one; the Indensit.

One he should know is he should not compare a Malaysian-made Europa with Italian-imported one, its just like comparing the Proton/Perodua with Peugeot/Alfa, its not an apple to an appple ma! Anyway, thanks Hubby for this, but please do not expect that this will buy me to nod for yor 2nd wife proposal!!!

~the Valencia 688e. I copied this photo fr WMC forum many months ago, sorry I am not able to credit the owner coz I cant remember whom she is..~my latest toys, quite anxious to start my Raya cookies project. Lets the game begin!!!~0bviously, it is very big for my small kitchen. Remember the CIMB Home Financing tv commercial (the 2 people stuck/bumping by each other in their small kitchen)?My sis said the ad really reflects my house....

P/S: SOS calling for this brand current user to PLEASE share with me the tips of using this machine, coz they had many baking variety and I am so lazy to read the manual...
