We got home safely on sat evening.. Solenn flew back to Paris last Sunday and guess what? both hb and I are down with slight fever, flu and cough.. arghhh shud i blame it on the weather in KL or shud i blame it on my antibodies.. i realised that i am getting there... u know its the age thingy when even the slightest moment.. like when u sit next to a sick person u will get the bug? well thats how it started.. we didnt even go to Cameron Highlands cos hb was not well..
Anyway i know doc told me to rest but i just cant.. Yesterday Lisa came by to clean our place and do some ironing which gave me all the time to bake something while hb is sleeping in our room.. his temp seems to be getting higher and higher and i seriously think that his work and all the travelling is taking a toll on him.. sigh
So ok.. I hv to go and lie down.. the medication makes me feel drowsy and my eyes are all watery.. heres the recipe folks ..

Once baked.. let it sit in ur oven for another hr bef taking it out and placing it in ur fridge.. once chilled u can take it out and slice it..
I dont know how to describe this cake.. to be honest i prefer the lapis cheesecake.. err probably bec i am a big fan of plain cheesecake.. this cake itself is rich in flavours.. rich in texture.. however i think if u add 1tbsp of melted chocolate into it this cake it will taste even better..
Oh one more thing bef i go.. ty to all that have place an order for my mastrad sheets.. will send it out as soon as hb is back in his office.. hes the one that handles all the postage..
