Junior The Teaching Assistant

Junior came for abah's class (where I'm the student as well) last Saturday! He was the teacher's assistant, and thankfully an obedient one too for the long (in baby hours) four hours. Got up early to get things ready, and I was extra early so I made bread pudding for breakfast!


My breakfast. Hahaha.

This time round I used condensed milk only, no granulated sugar.

Recipe:

6 or 7 slices of bread, torn to about 2 to 3 inch squares
388g tin of condensed milk
2 cups milk
3 eggs
1 box of raisins
Sprinkle of sliced almonds
  1. Tear the bread and arrange them in the pan. I used an 8 by 8 inch square pan.
  2. Sprinkle raisins and almonds in the pan.
  3. Mix milk, condensed milk and eggs together in a bowl and pour into the baking pan.
  4. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius. Let the bread soak up the custard mixture while waiting for the oven to heat up.
  5. Bake for about 40 minutes.
Yummy soft custardy bread pudding! Almost like my mum's. Almost. Tastes much nicer when it's in room temperature.


More of Junior's experience as a teaching assistant! We came a bit earlier so Junior could get adjusted to the classroom. I set up his play area with the loads of things I brought and I will list down here:
  • colour pencils
  • drawing block
  • bulldozer
  • magnetic drawing board
  • 3 carriage train
  • 1 set of 4 mini books
  • 2 books
  • play mat
  • pillow
I know right! Seems like going to war! This too, is not inclusive of potato soup, water bottle, towel and extra set of clothes haha.


 
Aww he prostrated! Which mother's heart won't melt looking at this! Lovelove my son sooo much. And below are photos of him running around haha




Having a break watching the construction workers at work. He loves cranes and gondolas and diggers.

Junior seems right at home with this mosque. Happily running around the class, and the mosque premises. We also have plans of making him a real teaching assistant when he's bigger! Like helping his dad distribute handouts, taking attendance and so on. May his heart grow closer to the mosque & Islam insyaAllah.

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
