Acting Housewife

HELLO!!!

In case you're wondering where I've disappeared...

It's because I have no internet at home.

Yup. Hence the lack of posts or facebook activities even.

Right now I'm at my mum's place freeloading off the internet. Haha! I'm an internet addict!

Just came back from a one week break, now is fasting month, soon I'll be flying off with Other Half to Motherland. But I'll be back. To work. Sadly. Oh wells. I shall look forward to the December trip then! :p

Life's been good, I've been a pretty sucky homemaker, but Other Half's really patient with me HAHA. I like to take my own sweet time, even hum a tune while I'm at it.

I got to do just that, and take EVEN a longer time, today! On medical leave! Official medical leave. I really am sick, fyi. The only thing I regret not doing (I only realised I could've done it but it was late already) is washing the bedsheets & pillow cases. Darn! Such good weather today! Haha I sound like aunty-aunty housewife.

But today IS my day's experience as a housewife! Sit at home, did housework, went grocery shopping. I LOVE grocery shopping! I love to go to supermarkets and get those fancy things to eat! I got for myself hehe 2 cartons of yoghurt drink! It was on offer, can't help it! Hahahahah! I don't think Other Half's gonna kill me. Heehee *grin* Ooooh I can't wait to drink them! *drools*

I have been postponing the effort to cook a proper meal. Have been preparing 'instant' stuff instead. Neh mind. Baby steps. Other Half is very appreciative of anything I prepares for him. So sweet hor! :p

I think I'm adjusting pretty well to this new life, new house, and Other Half :)

Bliss.

CNY Bakes

Back from the long weekend! Spent two days fully at home, cooking and baking. So happy. Day 1 was sindhi briyani and Almond London . Day 2 was ayam lemak cili padi and a batch of almost Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies , but I split the batter into 2: hazelnut, white chocolate, cranberry combination and hazelnut, dark chocolate chip combination. I made the cranberry ones first, they taste awesome. But after I ate the chocolate chip one, say bye bye to cranberry! Nothing beats chocolate. And the white chocolate chips somehow dissolved into the batter, melted. What to do, it's just white chips from Redman. I should try a better brand instead. Happy new year indeed!

White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars

I love these! It's like a blondie but to make me feel less guilty, there's oatmeal. Was supposed to make these and freeze for easy morning breakfasts, but seems like they ran out pretty quickly that it didn't require that much freezing. Original recipe here . I made these almost three months ago and I still think about making these again and again. White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats 2 cups flour 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vanilla 2 large eggs 1 1/4 cups butter melted 1 cups white chocolate chips 1 cup dried cranberries This is like one bowl mix so anything goes. Spread batter in two 8x8 square tins, bake for 22 min at 180 degrees Celsius.

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho
