Mahjong Chips

What do you do when your mum does her spring cleaning for renovation and passes you a bunch of mahjong chips?
We turn them into counters ala Montessori style.

Pineapple cupcake

Look at all that oil!
No, it's not the recipe... it's me.
I misread the butter amount in the recipe (have been thinking about my cranberry hearts. that's why).
After 10 minutes in the oven, the cupcakes started oozing out oil and I knew something must be wrong :P
Still, for this mistake, the cupcake tasted really nice and the Boy ate 4 in 2 days!

5-minute Artisan Bread Every Day?

How I was looking forward to having artisan bread every day!
And only in 5 mins! From this magical book.
Alas, my dream was shattered when my bread turned out like this:

Hard, rubbery and so salty that I thought I made the dough from seawater!
What happened to all those great reviews online?

Or maybe it's just me?
I'll be giving it another try... does anyone want to help?

Hakka Xi Ban

I'm Hakka, but have never seen this before in my life!
Saw this on Wendy's blog and decided to try it.
I asked my friend who is a Malaysian Chinese Hakka to try it and she says it tastes like the real thing in JB :)

Surprise for breakfast! Baked Eggs...

I gave S a surprise for breakfast today... yes, she was so amused by her "heart" ramekin.
And under the soft curds of eggs, she had more surprise... sliced sausages!
She wiped up every last bit, together with the homemade bread.

P/S. I didn't arrange the yolks like that, but they wouldn't cooperate by going further down the ramekin in a random pattern. I was probably too ambitious in stuffing the tiny ramekin with sausages and lots of baby spinach.
