Just as I was feeling that time was plenty (especially after CTs)… Haa!

The refridgerator had:
- a pack of yoghurt expiring in a couple of days
- half a lemon in a plastic bag… my.. don’t know how long it was in there…
- no more vanilla essence :/ but had almond essence! (:

And then somehow.. this happened! ",

Lemon Almond Yoghurt Thing


 

Surprisingly enough, it was tangy and the almond gave an extra kick! ", Not bad! Moist-ish… not really a poundcake! Teacake?
emoticon Hmm…

By the way!!!! Check out the new link I’ve added under ‘Extra Stuff’! (: Haha! Yes, yes, I’m rather excited about this! Hah! (:

3. Popiah@Coronation Plaza

Popiah lah!

Ok, this is a rather short list for now! Yup I think I ought to think about work.. Anyway, #1 just looks nice! So, I must try the kueh lapis, which they insist is ‘not too soft or hard’.

I’ve eaten at #2. Just that, the first time I found it at IMM, it moved somewhere else soon after :/ Then it took me a long long while to find it again, at Junction 8. THEN! Junction just underwent renovations.. so.. it moved (!) I was really upset.. Now, I hope I’ve got the right place! Only thing, Tampines is kinda far away… But I think it’s so worth my time! Haha! It’s really the best Egg tart i’ve had! (: Not too sweet, really crumbly though lard-free!

#3 has always been on my list. Just that everytime I walk past the shop, I feel that $2/- is simply too much to spend on 1 miserable popiah.. BUT I shall make an exception the next time cos.. I know it’s really worth it! (: 

Haha.. ok back to books…

Chunked Banana Muffins!
 
Ahh.. yes, finally, I got what I wanted!  
This was my first attempt at using the mini muffin tin.. And boy, the tin is really a good investment.. For some reason, the muffins turned out perfectest ever! Finally, I think I’ve found the perfect ingredients and proportions (to my liking) for any muffin, after many many many many.. and many.. trial and errors since I embarked on my ‘muffin project’! Haha! These are ultra light, moist, fluffy, yet bread-like! Unlike the usual tender kinds which are more like a cake rather than a quick bread which is what a muffin is essentially! (: Yay.. Oh you see those chunks in there? I just wanted to add something to the plain batter, and use up my bananas of course! This shall put an end to my muffin project which was inspired after eating the blueberry and carrot muffins with my Mom at Cedele by Bakery Depot, which was what, in my opinion, defines The Muffin. Alas!
 
Back to the Books!

‘Calling the crowd to join his disciples, he said, "Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat; I am. Don’t run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to saving yourself, your true self. What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you? What could you ever trade your soul for?’

Mark 8:34-37 (The Message)  

Today’s really just not my day… A couple of things happening together. What could i ever trade my soul for? Surely, I’m not in the driver’s seat.
