Eid Mubarak to all Muslims! I guess its a very busy period for most people now. The visiting need to be done, the exam papers to be marked...the pouring of guests every now and then....all totally inevitable.
I have been busy myself. I was baking for about 3 weeks during Ramadan. I baked through the afternoons and nights. I had more…
I saw these Peanut Butter Sandies on Ovenhaven's blog and decided to give it a try. I am not biggest peanut butter fan. When I sink my teeth into this "cookie". I was stunned for a moment! I thought maybe it's still warm so I let it cool down completely. The result were still the same! I was so sure…
I'm not really a big fan of Green Tea. I do drink sweetened green tea once is a blue moon, but when I saw these Green Tea Cookies, I just felt that I had to give it a try. I have been wanting to try these for a couple of months now. Of course this is not the only recipe…
Strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries, blackberries, and BLUEBERRIES! My favorite still has to be the undisputed red king aka the strawberry, whether its drizzled with some honey of served with whipped cream...it always works! As for raspberries, they just add a "Wow effect" with their presence. As for blueberries, I have to say that its the perfect all rounder. In ice creams,…
All these berries went into Two fruit pastries!! A delicious cake that is moist and soft. It actually reminded me of Sara Lee's Pound Cake. The aroma of the cake filled the house when it was baking away. The berries made the cake delightful to eat. This would go very well with peaches too! So here's the…

I feel much better today. Hands were itching to paint the kitchen red! Thought of making bread initially but I didn't really have all the ingredients required. Mom suggested that I make donuts instead. I know I just made a large batch last weekend, but we didn't really get to eat 'em since most were savored by the guests. So…
These were made for a cousin who just gave birth. Made 2 types of cookies for her to serve to her guests. This is an old recipe that mom used to make when I was a kid. She used to make these often back then, till I took over the kitchen duties and started trying and making more recent recipes.…

Yesterday was a lazie2 day! I spent most of yesterday, reading away. I finished reading a novel of abt 600 pages. I'm AMAZED tht I could do it! *grins* I started reading at 3pm and took little breaks here and there. I did sum laundry, ate, made onion crepes for my bro and had a warm night shower. That's it!…
