Is it just me or is it the weather that makes me feel really really tired during day time.. I dont feel like doing anything but always end up cleaning.. today i did Sonia's room.. putting aside her old clothing that she can no longer wear.. placing it in a box to be given away.. some she didnt even get to wear cos her mama simply loves to shop for her.. tsk tsk

Looking at all her clothing makes me think of the time I had her.. she was such a beautiful tiny little baby and only weighed 2.4kg.. eventho she was tiny.. I still had to undergo emergency c section cos her heartbeat was getting slower and slower.. I never thought that I would go thru that after taking the epidural but.. oh well.. she was out within a couple of hours and papa didnt get to go in the operating theater.






Sonia is two and half years old now.. she has two wardrobes full of clothing and I dont think I can ever stop buying clothing for her as long as I get to travel with hb (cos thats the only time I shop for clothing and cos we're both girls...) :o)

So anyway.. I baked this cookie last night and after I was done covering all the almond london with chocolate I had abt 1/4 of melted chocolate left.. so what did i do?? I added cornflakes to it and now I hv another type of cookie.. hehehe


Ingredients
125g butter
225g flour*
1 tsp emplex* (*sieve)
70g icing sugar
1 egg yolk
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
150 seeds shelled almonds (i get abt 100pcs out of this recipe)

Topping
300g of cooking chocolate (I used valrhona 55%)
1/3 tsp vegetable fat - shortening (I used cocoa butter- 80g)
Adequately chopped almonds, roasted (i didnt use)





Method
Preheat oven 175C.. bake almonds for abt 15 mins.. Let cool.
Whisk butter, icing sugar and vanilla essence until well combined. Add in egg yolk and beat until well mix. Turn mixer to low speed, add flour a little at a time till it form a soft dough.
I used measuring spoon to scoop out dough to get an even size (1 tsp).. roll dough and press toasted almond in the middle and cover it back n shape it oval.. arrange in a baking tray.
Bake at 175C for 20 minutes or golden. Cool completely. (mine was done within 12mins)
Using double boiler method.. Melt the cooking chocolate.. once melt add vegetable fat (cocoa butter), stir well.
Take a piece of almond london, put in a small paper cup, Spoon 3/4 tsp melted chocolate and pour it over almond london. Arrange almond london close to one another. Sprinkle some chopped almonds while the chocolate is still soft. Let chocolate harden and store in airtight container. (I dipped each almond london into melted chocolate and placed it into a paper cup)



Note: Chocolate was too runny after i added 80g of cocoa butter.. next time I will only use 30g..

The holy month of Ramadhan for Muslims is just a day away and already supermarket shelves are loaded with a huge variety of fresh, dried and stuffed dates since a week ago... I hv been waiting for the month of Ramadhan since like forever.. its a time for spiritual reflection, prayer, doing good deeds and spending time with family and friends.. dont get me wrong yah.. u do good deeds whenever u can but doing it in the month of Ramadhan is something special..







As we already know.. fasting is intended to help/teach Muslims self-discipline, self-restraint n generosity... It also reminds them of the suffering of poor ppl.. who may not get to eat lavishly all the time... It is common to have one meal (Sahur) just bef sunrise and another (Iftar) right after sunset... This meal will commonly consist of dates, following the example of the Prophet Muhammad and bec Ramadan is a time to spend with friends and family.. the fast will often be broken by Muslim families coming together to share in an evening meal...






Well anyway.. long story short... this is the last cookie that I will bake bef Eid.. as always I usually will try to post pics and recipes of my desert/kuih during Ramadhan.. sooo.. I would like to wish u guys a peaceful Ramadhan.. May this Ramadhan be filled with many blessings for u and ur family.. May u hv a very happy Ramadhan..






Ingredients
250g Margarine (I used butter)
3 tbsp powdered milk
1/2 tsp vanilie powder
200g powdered sugar
180 ml egg whites
250g of all purpose flour

Topping
poppy seeds/ grated cheese/ sprinkles for decoration


Method:
• Preheat oven to 180 deg C
• Grease a baking pan with margarine
• Beat margarine, powdered milk, vanilie, and powdered sugar until smooth
• Add in egg whites a little at a time until blended
• Add in flour a little at a time and continue to whip until smooth
• Put the mixture into the bag bag. Pipe into the pan (abt 5 cm long)
• Bake for 15 minutes.
• Quickly remove cookies from pan.
• Cool down, and place in an airtight container





Note:
You may sprinkle it with grated cheese, poppy seed, or sprinkles for decoration.
To make Chocolate cat tongues u need to reduce the flour by 50g n add 50g of cocoa powder... I added 1 tsp of mocca paste to half of my batter to get mocca cat tougues



And in case u wanna know how I get my cat's tougue in similar shapes and sizes.. this is one of the pans that I bought while shopping in that supermarket in Jkt :o)

So its obvious that Mr "Aid" lost its virginity today... I didnt wanna do it but the temptation was too overwhelming .. where ever I go I caught him looking at me with that sexy looking eye, body and feet... I had to do it... I just had to do it.. its either gonna be today or never :op

I began to walk closer to him.. looking at him straight to his eyes... touching him.. eh ehhhh this is wrong... my blog is rated PG! oppsssyyy hahaha






Anyway for a start I decided to bake hb his fav cookies since he was generous enough to buy me THE mixer.. in a way its like I gv him the honour and paying him back for his generosity lol.. so here is the recipe once again..



Ingredients
250g salted butter,softened (i used SCS)
200g light brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt (i didnt add)
1/2 tsp coffee oil
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup oats,processed to bits in a chopper (i used nestum)
1/4 cup ground almonds
1/2 cup of your favourite nuts,chopped finely (optional)(i used whole cashew nuts.. toasted)
1 pack of Nestle Tollhouse semi-sweet chocolate chips OR chocolate chunks (ran out of Tollhouse - I used dark chocolate chip bought fm Bagus)
300g self-raising flour (i used plain flour with 1/2tsp of baking powder)


Method
This is the most important step,at least 2 hours before,or the night before,beat the egg with the vanilla and the coffee oil to infuse or you can do this the night before,refrigerate it then bring it to room temperature before baking.

Preheat oven to 160C.

To the softened butter,beat in the sugar and the salt to combine. Beat in the egg and stir in the processed oats,ground almonds,optional chopped nuts and the chocolate chunks. Sift the flour and fold it in,this dough will not be too stiff but not too wet either.

For small cookies,place half-tsp of the dough,spaced slightly apart on the cookie sheet and bake for 9 to 10 minutes.

For large cookies, place rounded tbsp of the dough spaced apart on the cookie sheet and bake for 20 to 22 minutes.

Cool completely and let it sit overnight in an airtight container,this is for the flavour and fragrance to develop further.

Note: I baked mine for 10mins cos hb prefers the semi chewy type of cookie (If it was up to him he would say "no need to bake, just put the cookie dough into a Tupperware...")





Before I go let me just tell u girls that Mr 'Aid" hit my "G" spot.. hes young... hes smooth.. he gyrates swiftly in all directions and he knows how to mix it all up. I'm one happy, contented, exhausted woman who looks forward to seeing 'him' everyday .. wink wink .. muahahahaa
