Spongy fresh fruit cake ~~

Satureday, woke up at 7 by stupid work phone ><. Oh well atleast I was forced to wake up, therefore why not make the most of it and enjoy the rest of the day. Made pancake again for breakfast, haha totally inlove with the recipe. So easy to make and so quick to prepare as well ^-^ * thumbs up * to the person who created this recipe. Dad decided to whip up the left over cream for his coffee, so I thought .. why not bake a cake as well and totally use up the cream. So here goes another entry relating to COOKING.

Basic Sponge Cake ~~

INGREDIENTs:
  • 3 x Egg
  • 90g sugar
  • 90g 低筋麵粉
  • 20g melted butter
  • 1tsp baking powder
METHODs:
  1. Separate egg white from egg yolk.
  2. Beat egg yolk with 1/3 of the sugar until pale yellow.
  3. Beat egg white with the rest of the sugar until stiff peaks form, if you turn the bowl over, the egg white will not fall out.
  4. Mix egg yolk mixture into egg white slowly.
  5. Add in sieved flour slowly into the mixture and blend well.
  6. Add small amount of the cake mixture into the melted butter and mix well. This will make sure the butter does not cool quickly and also easier to be mix into the cake mixture.
  7. Blend mixture together slowly but throughly.
  8. Pour cake mixture into a 18cm paper lined tin.
  9. Heat up oven to 180 C。 and leave the cake to bake for 20min.

Perfect fluffy pancake.. ^-^

Got bored at home last weekend. Nothing in the fridge for breakfast or lunch so thought, why not have a nice breach and make some pancake. ^-^

Found a very easy and very surperb recipe on a website. Tried it out and the result was... *YUMMMMMMM*. It was thick, and fluffy and very very yummmy. So just so I don't lose track of the recipe, I thought WHY NOT PASTE IT ON MY BLOG AND SHARE IT WITH EVERYONE.!!!

So here is the receipe for easy and simple FLUFFY PANCAKE.



INGREDIENTs:

  • 1 cup self rising flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbs white sugar
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tbs melted butter
METHODs:
  1. Mix flour, baking powder, salt and white sugar together.
  2. Add milk with egg, lightly stir together. Once mixed, add the melted butter into the liquid mixture.
  3. Add liquid mixture into dry ingredient and mix well. The mixture will contain some lumpy bit, which is fine. But remember not to over mix or else the pancake will not be fluffy and soft.
  4. Leave the mixed ingredient to rest for 20 - 30 minute
  5. Heat up pan with butter and add spoon full of mixture to cook.
  6. Prepare butter and syrup, clean up plates. Sit down and DIG IN!!!!!

Okey, time to have a blog on my company xmas function. As you might have already realise, this years xmas theme was "THE TOP CHEF".
Anyway, me and my friend got to the party at 7pm, 30 min late but it was okey coz we were not the LAST. When we arrived on site, we were given our name tag and a christmas hat with flashing stars. The colour of the hat represent what team we will be in for the nites competition. @@ scaryyyy.... The waiter there was nice enough to force a cup of fruit punch into everyone's hand on arrival, declining the drink was NOT ACCEPTED. As he just keep walking around pushing the cup into ppl's hand.
Party offically started at 8pm with the first competition, group of 10 was split further into teams of 4 people. Me, vicki and 2 other workmate was in the first 4. Our job was the create the ENTREE was the nite. The owner, and the head chef of the restaurant came and gave us a few lesson on pizza making and then left us to our own.
Bread dips, pizza and mini pizza bread was created and then left to be judeged by the judges (CEO, BIG HEAD, BIG HEAD PARTNER AND CEO PARTNER @@ ) haha.
Great thing was, MY TEAM CAME TOP with the entree, and everone praised us on our ORGANISED our team was... muahahahahahahah.......
Anyway let just say we ended up winning 2 our of the 3 competition, and our party didn't end till 1am. (we got to eat the main at 11pm... >< .... and everyone was sooo tired after that) But I guess, this being my first ever company xmas function. I have no complain as it was really different and to a point, it was FUN. Picture still in my laptop so I will post those up later. ^^

FRIDAY + Seafood + NO Life...

It is now the time to write my 2nd BLOG.
It is once again the most look forward to day of the week ----- *drum roll pleaseeee* ......... FRIDAY ........ lalalalala....
Today was quite a peaceful day at work, spend the day checking the configuration on a new Pak N'Save site. (2 more to be install next week.. @@ ... )
Got email from TL saying "FREE PIZZA FOR LUNCH" muahhaha.. which started a whole link of email reply asking WHY he was being so nice, was he leaving, reverage planning to make us fat?? or DYING.. @@ hahaha... *yes okey I was the one that started off this whole linkage of spam hahaha* But atleast that got our TL off the stressful look for the day and he had himself abit of laughter. ^^
Lunch time was GREAT... ooooo sooo many fresh pizza. -- MEAT LOVERS, VEGETERIAN, HAWIAN etc etc etc...
Oh oh oh yessss and the seafood truck came today again. First time for me to check out the truck. Quite nice actually, bought myself a dozen oyster for $12 @@ .. salmon steak and a bag of scallop... gonna treat my GUEST to a yummy seafood dinner on sunday hehehe.
The bad thing is, guest is coming on sunday so I will have to find a way to keep the fish fresh until sunday. End up after some research on the internet to FREEZE the damn thing. *cross finger* the meat don't get ruin la.

All those event is good thing for a friday, seafood, free pizza, relaxing day.

I guess good thing must always be spoiled by BAD NEWS... which hit you hard and fast.
I am on backup again, on call 24/7 for 7 days. And the worst thing is, I am being the backup of the most hated person in the company. @@ argggg the most stupid, arrogant bastard I have ever known. HATE HIM HATE HIM HATE HIM..... >< and everyone knws that. Atleast TL was kind enough to keep telling me, if I do have any trouble to give him a call. ^^ such a nice person.. aiiii

Well life must go on, need to find new aim in life...

Best bud back in nz already, had a chat with her last week and kinda got jolted back into reality..... gonna be 23 soon... and still no success in life. T-T kinda depressing really. And even worst is, company is small > social group is limited > no new ppl to meet > fishing pond getting smaller and smaller.. @@ hahaha... kinda a weird way to think like that, but I guess what kind of GIRL, LADY etc don't think about this??? Life has its ups and downs but wouldn't it be great to have someone by yourside to support you when you are down and to share your joy when you are up. ^-^
haha...yea I am being a depressing person today .. :P so better stop blogging before I influence anyone else to become as down as I am.

Cheerio.....

**let the SLEEPLESS WEEK beginnnnnn****
