+ TOMATO and CAKES! +
 Tuesday, December 14, 2010 12:05 AM TOday, i would like to talk about many things! 0. KUMATO! 1. brother arrived yesterday from america! 2. shortcake! 3. obsession to make a lighter fluffier sponge cake-> japanese style! Let us begin! My mother, went to a Master chef Fair and brought home many freebies! including! -chocolates, salmon XO sauce, alfalfa sprouts ;p, ginger stuff in a bottle , little cake things, a turkey!! *oh noo!! we have two turkeys stuffed in our freezer now! (another friend of mums recently bought a new TV at BING LEE ...and you know how they give u a frozen turkey?? The friend gave it to us! and since it was sooo big, me and mum spent like an hour chopping it up...it was quite horrible cuz it was so big!* anyway, amongst the freebies *my mum was sooo happy that day... ;P* there was KUAMTO!~! i heard katie talking about it! so i was so happy to actually see it for real! Its like a genetically modified food but it doesnt use animal DNA but uses dna from anther food and cross bred it! so it takes sweeter than a normal tomato! it was delicoius!
Okay, so since my brother came back, we decided over yum cha that i would bake for him a japanese strawberry shortcake! So it took me ages! First time making this, and i thought it wouldnt be good at first because the egg whites did not beat properly, because they were NOT at room temperature therefore they could not become white and fluffy! (dang!-this would later lead onto my last topic i want to talk about) But it came out okay, althouth the sponge itself ended up a bit heavier than wanted. Therefore, i went on the internet and searched for light fluffy japanese sponge cake, like the ones you commercially eat and ones from SAVOY cake shop! i reallllyy want to master making that light type and i remembered that japanese sponge cake is called kasutera! really nice Honey sponge cakes, and they usually come in chocolate and green tea, etc! so that is my next goal ! Which comes to my last point. I REALLY WANT TO TRY THIS RECIPE im uber excited!!! i hope i can make those commercial light fluffy cakes ;D i have much to learn! because one of my failure points from my shortcake was that i didnt use the right flour! i thought CAKE FLOUR was the same as SELF RAISING FLOUR! but its totally not! no wonder sponge was heavy!!! Its apparently, the finest flour available, made especially for bakers to make desserts ;) they dont sell it in australia but u can make it urself! a substitute is 1.75 cup of plain flour and 0.25 cup of cornstarch and TADA!!! here is ur cake flour! SOOOOO GNA TRY THIS RECIPE AGAIN HOPEFULLY AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS!!! i really want to make herb bread too cuz ive got like a herb garden literally growing in my fridge cuz i bought so much oregano, thyme and parsley....woohoo!! There is more to come yet!!! Love, wannabe Baker Lynn ;)  *- - - - - - - -

+ its ten o five! PM! +
3:05 AM last night my mum and i made home made pizzas for dinner;) whats on it? -pumpkin -zucchini -caramelised onion -mozarella cheese on a bought pizza base ;) ( next time im gna make the pizza dough!) Since the bases were little, we had 3 of them ;) my mum and i were talking about something serious when we were making the first one, so we didnt follow the pizza base instructions!! ie) coat base with olive oil first and like heat oven to 180, and we did it to 200 and left the pizza in there SO, we thought the first one would be soo crap....but in the end it was quite funny cuz that one was the one we liked eating the most! (lol!) And the last one, we put sweet chilli and cream cheese on it ;D but it was way too creamy and cheesy in the end . That was really fun actually, first time making pizz  as at h ome!  Above; My mum eating chicken salad on the verandah <3 Below; triple layer sunset!!! view outside my verandah, hence we were eating outside, reminds me of a tiramisu ;p  *- - - - - - - -

Thursday, December 9, 2010 10:13 PM today, i went to my maths tutors house and gave her the carrot cake (same recipe as post before) that i made last night at 11pm :) after walking from her house,(my face was all sweaty! today was so hot) i got a jasmine milk tea (no pearls) from easy way and went to JB hifi... i realised, i dont have any particularly new music in my ipod! i havent updated it for about 1 year...TT, i basically only rely on the radio for songs now.... since im going to start buying cds from now on..(aim to support the artists!) i looked at the JBHI FI top cd chart! you know there was the usual, taylor swift and black eyed peas,keisha...then i saw this one cd with a reaaly nice cover! THe artists are called Angus and Julia stone, ive never heard of them before!! So i went back home and im here now, listening to them on youtube before i buy them :) they sound quite nice! Like really....mellow? like all their songs (well the 2 ive heard anyway) i imagine being played in like a really sad scene of a movie or something. But sad songs/mellow songs are good sometimes too :) its soft , suitable for lonely nights :P This is also another video i stumbled upon and i think its so cute!! Be My Honey Pie - The Weepies this is nice too Matt Wertz O GOSH!!! i like this!!! Matt White - Love THey are both matts..lol!!! Im so happy!!! finding so many good artists i like :D:D , this is going to motivate me to start earning some money :D ! i so need that motivation right now. This is cute :D Mulan 2 *- - - - - - - -

HOLD ON.....why am i studying....What am i studying? THERE IS NO NEED TO STUDY! and we are going to wake up next year thinking, What uniform do i wear? and then realise...we have to face our wardrobe everyday and rack our brains for 20 minutes trying to figure out the best outfit. Oh everything is going to change soon! im still trying to get over the fact that we no longer have to go to school...and see the faces we normally see. Weird huh? ITS ALL GOING TO BE CO-ED IN A FEW MONTHS TIME!!!! We have all be confined to our all girls school ;) which i love very much! we "were" so carefree!!!! that was awesome! we didnt have to think about what guys thought, cuz you know that can ruin friendships sometimes ;0 (that happened in primary XD) Anway its 12 pm, 2 weeks till VA gyuaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.... Good luck everyone! (no one is going to read this until after but hey ;) I would like to start joining in the blogging community again, i miss it!
