I know I hv not been updating my blog recently.. its just that I am not at my best right now.. there are too many things on my mind that make me feel so so down... hb reminds me over n over again that I shud just take things one day at a time... that I shud be thankful I hv Sonia to hug when I needed someone to hug.. that I hv a roof over my head.. that I am healthy.. that hb has a job... that Hairi is all grown up.. that whatever happens.. it happens for a reason...
Ya Allah.. pls embrace my loved ones..
Ya Allah.. though I dont show it.. I know that u know every fact that fills my heart.. n u always will..

Ya Allah.. pls help me to grow into a stronger person for I know that things can be fine with Your will..
AMEEN..
So today after I put Sonia to bed.. I decided to bake something.. nothing fancy.. just a simple marmer cake to take my mind off things .. cake turned out well eventho my heart n mind are somewhere else :o(
Ingredients
150g butter (I used President)
100g sugar
3 eggs
1 egg yolk
150g flour
1 tsp baking powder (I used double acting powder)
1 tsp cocoa powder (I used valrhona)
1/2 tsp vanilla essence (I added)
1 tsp black forest paste (I added.. if u cant find BFP u can sub with chocolate paste)
Method
Sieve flour and baking powder.. set aside.
Beat butter until soft, add sugar slowly.. whipped until white.
Add eggs one at a time and continue to beat till well combined. Turn speed to low and add vanilla essence.. add sifted flour.. mix well.
Set aside 2 tablespoons of batter and add cocoa powder and BFP, mix well. Pour remaining white batter into 22x10cm loaf pan.. top with chocolate batter and gv it a few swirl (with chopsticks) to form a marble motif.
Bake in oven with a temperature of 180C for 40 minutes or until cooked. (I used friand mould and bake it for 20mins)
On a lighter note.. my son has gotten his motorbike licence while we were in Jakarta.. congrats son eventho mama prefers u to be driving a car..

"Amin" to your doa. Hopefully the shady cloud fades away real soon, insyaallah.

Hai Rima
Begitulah kehidupan. I agreed with yr hubby statement. BTW, face the problem, don't run away from it. If you know what you are facing now is a problem to you, you already solved 1/2 of the problem. Yes, sometimes, it take time to settle problem but keep in your mind that you will always want to settle the problem. InsyAllah, the problems settle.
Be a strong daughter,wife and a mother. Have a nice day, dear Rima.
