I'm sooo tired...and...Mmm...cake pops

ok, so i just spent the last 4 hours doing work on the computer. It is now almost 1am. My brain is a little slow, my eyes a little dry, and I'm making lots of mistakes while typing which is making me more annoyed at my tiredness.

In my last post I said I would post about my clam chowder...well I'm very Very sorry to disappoint, I totally forgot to take pictures..:(..What I can tell you is that it was yummy.

I did take pictures of my ice cream cake pops or cake pop ice creams..what ever..I'm too tired to think. Just know that they are NOT real ice creams...apparently one of the youth thought it was ice cream and was sadly disappointed when he ate it.

The pictures below are ones I made for my students as a year end present. I also make a big batch for YAC on Friday, with the help of G.Hung, E.Wong and P.Tsui. Oh..and S.Ng and H.Wong who helped sampling to make sure they were alright:P And A.Tsui who supervised the whole process.

That's all for now...my brain need sleep...

Steak Meat Pies

A while back I made steak meat pies from scratch. I forgot that I had taken pictures of them. I got the recipe online. Unfortunately I didn't make a note of which website it was from, and it was a while ago so I can't remember. But if you search meat pies in google I'm sure you'll find a good recipe to use.

For the filling I just fried together carrots, potatoes, celery (you can use what ever veggies you like) and green peas(eww...). Add steak (or what ever meat you preferr). Combine with beef stock and cream of mushroom soup.

I used a regular pie crust recipe. Bake until golden brown. I will definitely make this again, it was fun to make and yummy to eat!

Stay tune for my clam chowder and ice cream cake pops post coming very soon....

Top 5 things I want to accomplish this summer...

Summer is here, that means the school year is ending very very soon:) <---- How do you do a really big smiley face? Having two months off with no work is pretty sweet. I've been thinking about all the projects that I want to do this summer. And I've put them all in a list, so at the end of summer I can see just how much I didn't accomplish and feel very badly about it<----for those that know me,I'm a bit of a procrastinator...we'll see how this goes:P

My Top 5:

- Bake something new each week

- Cook something new each week

- Organize my kitchen<---every baker/chef need a well organized work space!

- Build a giant book shelf for my book collection <---my book collection is starting to grow with more baking/cook books

- Finish renovations on the house

I'll try to post updates or even better "before and after" pictures, like those home magazines.

If you have good ideas for organizing kitchens, or what I should bake/cook, leave me a comment:)

hm...off with their heads!

I was away at YC(Christian youth conference) in Edmonton this pass weekend with some friends from church. It was my first time at YC, needless to say, I am no longer a youth, so my verdict for the weekend.....*drum roll pls*

It was awesome!!! No one can party it up the teenagers! The bands were pretty awesome. The speakers - awesome! The people I went with...well the girls were pretty awesome,as for the boys...if they would only stay awake they are pretty awesome too. My love for Starfield has now been rekindled!! Thanks to Dana;)

Hold on a minute...isn't this blog about food? Yes, yes it is. (did I just answer my own question?!?! weirdo!) Honestly, I have not baked or cooked anything that is worthy of a post. Unless you want to see the deluxe gon jai mean(comment if you like instant noodles!!) I made for lunch today:P

These are cupcakes I made a while ago for Jackson's work, some project got cancelled and they were having a "memorial" for the project. They may not look very nice, but they sure were tasty:)

Chocolate Cupcakes with Coconut icing and Peach penguins

until next time...
