Milk Pudding

I tried this pudding last nite & it didnt turn out right due to few reasons:
1) I cant find gelatin powder, only gelatin leaves;
2) Hayden only drinks plain junior milk, thus, I added cocoa powder which is bitter in taste;
3) problem removing it from d mould.

In d end, Hubby said it's tasteless & Hayden mashed it all up & didnt even take 2nd bite.. sigh.. :-<

Yogurt Bread

Due to d high elec bill, I have stop making bread for 3day. Then hubby ask if I can make again cause he missed having bread for BF. So I tried out a new yogurt bread recipe from Blessed Homemaker. Recipe asked for 2tsp butter but since I have only 20g bal left, I put all in. Big mistake to do that, dough turn out too wet because of it. & since I run out of bread flour, I had to add 4tbsp wheat flour to even out d liquid. Result was ok, bread rise to d max height of my bread pan but it's a little crumpy on d top.

Thunder Storm & Frog

It was raining so heavy that I had to wait downstair my appt for it to soften be4 gg to d child-care to pick up Hayden. While waiting, 2 frogs decide to jump near me to wait too!

九层糕 (9 layer kueh)

Since I have time on hand today, I want to give this kueh recipe from my friend's blog another go. Everything was gg fine, till d last step where I forgotten d last note in my friend's blog - "leave to cool completely be4 cutting into pieces." I took it out of the pan way too soon, thus, d kueh didnt sit well & it's very, very sticky. But taste alright & I got d 9 layers! Hurray! ;->

Baked Ckn wings

Blessed Homemaker sent this recipe to me 2nites ago & I tried it today. As usual, I changed a bit by adding more garlic & omitting d chili. Result - very NICE! Hayden had 5 pieces even though d garlic taste was very strong!

500g mid wings
10 cloves garlic & 2 slices of ginger, brend together
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp light soya sauce
1 tbsp tomato sauce

Mix all together & marinate overnite. I baked them @ 100C for 35mins.

Then saw Hayden’s note from sch that he’s supposed to bring a dish for tomorrow’s SongKran party. Since its alrdy 9pm & all shops r closed, I thot I give this kueh recipe from my friend’s blog a try. D kueh didn’t turn out right due to 2 main reasons – I used brown sugar & half all d ingredients thinking it might be too much. Ended with a rather small piece. Looks ok but taste very sweet..

Brownie

Past 2 days were buzy cause Hayden had fever & thus lots of running ard. He’s finally well enough to go school today, thus, I thot I give this recipe that I saw from my friend’s blog a try.
