Kuih Cara Manis

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

I can never be a teacher. I can never teach. And I don't think I have the potential to be a good teacher either. I admit it myself.. without any pressure from anybody ... hahaha...dah macam bunyi kena interrogate pulak ek? :P

My neighbour and I, sometimes played 'masak-masak' at her house. She will ask me to drop by her house, normally on weekends to do stuffs. But whenever I tried to 'play teacher' infront of someone, whatever I did, won't turn out how it turned out when I was doing it alone at home. Luckily my neighbour knows me well and understands my situation. Where else others may think... well mama is not sincere to teach us. How come, when she did hers, all came out nice. She must be hiding something and doesn't want to share it with us.... :(

Frankly speaking, if I want to hide something from anybody, I will not waste my time sharing it with others. It will be just a waste of time and energy to me and also to the other party.

So to conclude, I think I am not meant to be a teacher. Thank you! Hahaha...poyo punya statement...

T.H.E R.E.C.I.P.E

Made these at Saerah's house two weekends ago. These look lovely. But the first batch was....mmm... never mind... it is just for me and Saerah to know... hahahaha..... Thank you to Che Ann for this lovely recipe, from me and surely my neighbour and her family.

Easy Banana Muffins

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

"When I was clearing my......"

That sentence spells... danger! danger! danger!Hahaha...

If the sentence ends up with "cupboard", then my family members are the chosen victim! It is a normal thing, when you tidy your cupboard once in a blue moon (mine perhaps, blue, green, yellow and all the other colors you could think of!), you tend to find lots of 'treasures'. I will snap the photos and whatsapp it to the Family Group and we will have a good laugh... hahahaha....down memory lane....

BUT....

If that sentence finishes with 'email', that means, there is a big possibility I ended up buying something from the online shops. Though it is not THAT often this situation occurs, but the possibility is still there!

If not with the online shop, then it will definately ends up with me printing or copying something from the net and into the kitchen I go...IF.. I am in mood to do some experiments in the kitchen.

And yesterday, it was not the shopping, but the experimenting that took place... phew... I am so relieved I didn't do any online shopping. It's the waiting for the courier services that actually tense me up! :)


T.H.E R.E.C.I.P.E

As I was saying... When I was clearing my email, I came across email from Allrecipes featuring The 25 New Recipes of 2013. I scrolled down and decided to click on the Easy Banana Muffin. Since I have some over riped bananas in the fridge, I thought, why not try this one out and I think I've made the right decision...

1/2 teaspoon salt
4 bananas, mashed (I used 3 because that was all I had)
1/2 cup castor sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup canola oil (I used Naturel Corn Oil)
1 egg
Some chocolate chips (I added)
Vanilla essence (I added)

1. Preheat oven to 170 C. Arrange the papercups on a baking tray.
2. Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl. I sifted trice. Set aside.
3. Mix bananas, white and brown sugar, canola oil, vanilla essence and egg together in a separate large bowl.
4. Fold in the dry ingredients into the banana mixture until just incorporated. Scoop batter into prepared muffin cups, 3/4 full.
5. Sprinkle with some chocolate chips.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until muffins spring back when lightly tapped in the middle, 20 to 25 minutes.

Duh!

I took quite a bit of things out of the freezer, still not knowing what to cook. It was at 11.30am when I finally made up my mind. I didn't follow any recipes in particular. I just chucked in whatever I feel like it's right to chuck in and which ever way I think is right to prepare these dishes! Hahaha... So, if you feel like trying out this recipe, please go ahead, AT YOUR OWN RISK. Hahahaha... ni yang buat orang pikir 40 kali nak cuba ni... ahahaha...
