Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcakes - A KEEPER

T.H.E R.A.M.B.L.I.N.G.S

I read somewhere in the internet that when a woman said she's going to sleep, she won't just go straight to bed but will divert here and there and doing these and that, before she finally goes to sleep. I totally agree with this because I am exactly like that.

For example yesterday, when I came back from sending my son to his tuition class, I saw these small patches of dried grass stuck to my car. Said to myself, let me just wash these few patches... then changed my mind and washed the whole car. About done with my car, these eyes of mine fell onto my daughter's car full of 'bedak sejuk'. So I thought of just, running the water onto the car... and the next thing I know, I was washing her car as well. Tired but satisfied to see two clean cars parked in my porch!

In the afternoon, my sister called and while chatting with her, I was cleaning the dressing table in my room and also my working table. Wallah Voila... by the time I finished talking to her... everything is nice clean and tidy...

In the evening, I meant to just reverse my car and park outside since hubby will be home before Maghrib and park his car in the porch. Then I saw the leaves on the floor and on the grass of our tiny garden, if it may be called one. And yes, I swept them clean...

And you know what..... I didn't plan for any of the above to happen... it just happened along the way.... good ey?!

Whenever I experimented a recipe, I won't repeat the same recipe many times in less than a month's time. I just love to explore new recipes. But this particular recipe, I've bake TRICE in less than a month's time. My daughter loves it, my mom loves it and I too love this cake! I didn't post it earlier because I can't seem to be satisfied with all the photos that I took. But then, if I were to wait for THE photo to appear, then this blog will be covered with spiderwebs everywhere! Hahaha...

Thank you so much to DG and Jane for this lovely lovely lovely recipe. It is indeed a keeper!
