Crazy macaroons!!!

For Christmas, I thought it would be nice to make some macaroons for my students. It looks easy enough, had a macaroon making party with some cousins and it turned out pretty good. Little did I know how delicate these little *suckers were.

I will spare you my vent and rage. Let's just say that my baking tray took a bit of beating during this time and many went into the garbage and not into tummys.

But all is well in the end. Hope everyone had an awesome Christmas. Happy new year if I don't post again by then:)

A little birthday wish

Alright, for the record I did not post this because you were threatening me on Skype:)

Happy belated birthday to triple Bee( I still haven't figure what nickname to give you).
And thanks for the lovey lime tart today. It was...like I said on Skype, delicious.

Happy birthday from me and the grouch:)

Cravings market restaurant

I love eating out and trying new restaurants. This little place is located in the S.E. It is called Cravings Market Restaurant. Its like a fancy food court. They make everything fresh for you. We've been here many times in the past, but this is the first time I remember to take some pictures:)

Mini carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.

I'm baaaaaaack:)

Finally got around to baking today. This is for Jacks work bake exchange. Thanks Eve, for sharing the recipe.

It was really easy to make. I think I can finally said that the overpriced mini muffin baking pan i got from the pampered chef has made its money's worth. I've used it so many times and it has bought me much joy. Good investment for people that like to bake lots of mini pastries:)

Alright, time for bed. It's 2 in the morning:p

Thanks for reading.

Soooooo old now...

Ok. So my birthday was a while a ago. I've just been really really slow at updating.
Jackson bought me this really fancy cake from eu Claire de lune, the French bakery by our house. It not only looked good, but it was super delicious.

I will be blogging about the appetizers we made for the party later. Also coming soon, making fresh green tea pasta?

Laters...

What to make?? You decide...kind of...

It happened again...

I am SICK!! I'm already pass my first stage of denial and is now just hoping that I'll heal in time to party like crazy on Saturday.

I'm currently in the process of deciding the menu on Saturday, so if you read this in time and has a preference or suggestion, leave a comment and I'll try my best to satisfy you:)

Blog Neglect...

Well you can say I have what is called a baker's block. You know it's like a writer's block, but it happens to bakers. I've lost all motivation to bake this past little while. If I do bake something, it is because I have to. For example, a Thanksgiving potluck. I really don't know what to bake, I know there are thousands of recipes I haven't tried, but every time I flip through my baking books, I just don't want to start anything. Must be the laziness kicking in.

But I also had this theory that I'm just not craving sweets lately and that's why I haven't been baking. Jackson's made multiply trips to Eau Claire Du Lune and brought back lots of yummy deserts but I just have no desire to eat them. WHATS WRONG WITH ME!!! Not wanting sweets?!?!?! I must be crazy.

The Great Bake exchange is coming up, maybe that'll get rid of my baker's block. Should be fun, look for the event post on Facebook to get all the details.

Sadly I don't even have filler pictures for you to look at. You'll just have to read through this post and be disappointed that it's a pointless post about absolutely nothing..haha treated you!!

Until next time...if you're still reading my blog:)

Camera happy...

Borrowed my dad's new camera and went camera happy at the Zoo...

Oh...and at home too...

oh my...it's been too long..

Alright, so I've been neglecting my blog..so much for setting goals. *FAIL*

So you would think a person that's only working one day a week should be able to accomplish a lot of things. Well, now that I'm not on a schedule and don't HAVE TO do things if I don't want to, because it's all my own goals and hobbies, it's really hard to get things done. I guess I'm just not very self motivated, I need my environment or people to get me to do things...*sigh* that is so sad if you think about it. I really wish I can be more hard working when it comes to accomplishing goals:P

You might be wondering what the heck have I been doing...well...I've been Youtubing. I don't have TV(cable) at home, so....that's what I get, is Youtube. And surprisingly you can spend way more time watching Youtube videos than watching TV. There's just so much STUFF to watch.

Okay, enough chit chat...

It's Saturday and J and I went to Galaxie Diner (1413 11th St. SW Calgary, AB) for a late lunch. They have great all day breakfast and lunch there...there's always a line up.

Here's my attempt at a nice photo:) they have the best chocolate milkshake!! DA BEST!!

J's turn..what was I looking at??

I ordered an Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon on a toasted croissant....hm...so good! and unlimited hash browns...Leo would love this!

J ordered a Chicken Club House. Too Much food...

hm...can you tell we enjoyed our food?!?!?

I think this should hold my persistent reader *S.Ng* over for a while:P:P

Until next time...(who know when that will be=)
