New addition to the work table! Parfum!
Using bamboo scent we bought from Taka, I can't remember the brand. The Husband was compelled to buy from this auntie cos she gives good customer service. She can even guess what kind of scents we like, and she's almost correct all the time! This was a bit pricey, 60 bucks per bottle, and we bought the refill as well, $40. An impulse buy for me, cos it was The Husband who wanted it and on the spot I took one as well haha.
But now my nose is half-stuck. Bleah.
Made brownies last Friday. Was on childcare leave, my poor baby was having fever. I managed to cook too haha. Made nasi goreng for myself with leftovers on Friday, and spaghetti goreng yesterday! I is amazed with what I can do when I have no menu restrictions.
So for the brownies. It was the first time I made brownies from scratch! Yes! I've been too reliant on brownie mixes haha. This time I tried a safe bet, Nigella's everyday brownies. It didn't need any melting of chocolate, a fuss free recipe.
Best part of baking: eating the leftover batter yumyum!
Here's what I used:
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup dutch processed cocoa
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chocolate chips & 9 fererro rocher crushed
Very the chocolatey. Yummy! But I should've baked a bit shorter, it's like a fudge cake now. Haha. Will try this again! It's a good brownie base recipe.

- Melt the butter, add the sugar flour, baking soda and cocoa and mix. The mixture was REALLY thick. Best to use a wooden ladle but nooo I had to use the whisk and it got stuck. Haha.
- Mix in the eggs until fully incorporated.
- Transfer to a parchment lined 9 by 9 inch pan, bake for 25 minutes.
Freshly baked!
