It struck me the other day that autumn was nearing its end and that I havent baked a single apple pie or crumbles and I havent collected any acorns either. While apples are available all year round, ...
Of my friends, I would say M resembles me the most. I guess that is why we still remain good friends, despite refusing to join her in the Korean pop culture and facebook revolution. We arent abl...
Maple syrup and pecans, another one of those golden combinations. For me, I feel it is perfect for a warm autumn morning. Recently, there has been much syrup business going on in the kitchen. St...
A seemingly cold morning. Frying a batch of lemon and poppy seed pancakes* whilst running to the record player to press the play button only to dash back to the stove to flip the pancakes. &nbs...
It is already the end of the month. Its been a fairly busy, but I have got to say I have been enjoying it. Unlike last year, there are no days off, however this has made me become more productive.&nb...
The summer once gone, becomes something to remember. I have always welcomed March wholeheartedly. The cooler climate, crinkled brown leaves and a month of consecutive birthdays. Scones with lemon cur...
It seems I have made a rather flat looking smoothie. Its okay, Ive already been told they look more like milk than a smoothie. Thrice, in fact. If there were bubbles, it would probably look...
Lalarhs* requested to come over to study the properties of a cake in the making (and most importantly taste the experiment!). I selected a simple butter cake; a recipe given to me by one of my grandm...
Earlier in the week, a little celebratory lunch with Leia. It was supposed to be for her graduating and admission into university, but we were busy year end and I was overseas during January. A simpl...
Here are the rest of the photos taken over the last two weeks during my stay in Malaysia. The majority of the photos are from our family road trip to Penang with a few from elsewhere. During our stay...
I cant believe how fast the first month of the year passed by! One evening I was sipping teh ais and eating sate ayam in a mamak store in Kajang and the next thing you know, I was plane bound ba...
A couple of cats came into the garden to say hello. Meow meow!
We spent the past few days churning out the last batches of cookies ready for the year of the dragon! Little jobs of rolling, cutting, brushing and careful handling of fragile dough.I tried the beef ...
I spent the year end in the snow and the new year on a flight back to my grandmas. Speaking the local language made the trip more fulfilling and enjoyable. I would love to go to Hokkaido again when I...
An overcast day spent accompanying the Sydney-sider MC and The Kiwi. We stopped at Harbour Town for lunch and of course, a trip to Dairy Bell for some yummy ice cream! The rest of the afternoon ...
If there is one thing I hardly do in the kitchen, its bread baking. Lets just say I am not patient enough to wait for the dough to rise therefore my breads / buns turn into rocks that can clobber peo...
I saw this tweet on my feed this morning and noticed there were only five weeks left in the year. Instantly, I asked myself, what had I done this past year. It seems a long time ago but I c...
My camera has been gathering dust and will go moldy if I dont use it! I have disappeared off to Animal Village and somewhat studying for my exams. My last exam concludes before th...
Spring weather came to Melbourne and went in flash! It felt more like a summer than a spring to me though. However, its has now reverted back to its gloomy, rainy state. The heat wasnt too bad as lon...
Lots of rain, thunder and cloudy weather in Melbourne this week. Not that I mind, since I very much prefer the cold weather. Decided to try something different from the usual scone mixture again. To ...

...you squirt the juice into your enemys eye and make them cry in agony! into your cake batter!Mid-semester break starts next week, but I have assignments due at the start and end (what excellen...
① View on top of the steps - Southern Cross Train Station ② Polly Woodside & Maritime Museum - South Wharf ③ Walk, ride a bike, or catch our (unreliable) public transport My grand uncle and aunt ...
I was having a conversation (more like exchanging HAHAs and LOLs) with Mrs.Roddick last night. It was a decent conversation and we ended up talking about these brownies again! She would always say ho...
Huzzah! I have been way too engrossed in the VW, busy chatting on an online forum and playing games with my fellow net buddies. Not to worry, I have not forgotten this RL space of mine on the interne...
Aside from scones, I like pancakes too! Not only are they easy to whip up, but they are also my all time favourite food to photograph. They are very photogenic, no?
I am proud to say scones changed my life! The first scones I ever made was way back in year eight. They were cheese and onion flavoured and came out rather successfully on a first attempt as a no0b a...
In less than two weeks, the new semester will be commencing. After scraping through first semester (hah!) I really need to get my act together (I say this, but I become slack a few weeks in). Sure, i...
I dont particularly like eating brownies in general. Every time I bake a batch, I end up eating one piece, passing the duty to my brownie-fan sister to polish them off. :) These ones w...
Another trip down memory lane back to high school cooking classes. If my memory doesnt fail me, we made two versions of this; once in year eight and once in year twelve. I remember our class was pret...
