Julie/Julia- Inspired Project Part 2- Meatball Spaghetti & Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Meatball Spaghetti
the meatball was not perfecto =( cos i was out of breadcrumbs, again =( replaced it with flour.
but i like the parsley-ky taste in my meatballs.
 the sauce was fine. used tomato puree instead of tomato paste this time. i still prefer the rich tomato flavour of the paste. the pureed form is slightly bland. had to blend more fresh tomatoes to make the sauce even more tomato-ier.heh.
 sigh. should have just stick to tomato paste.
my mom eventually added soy sauce into her sauce cos she said it wasn't salty enough. LOL.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake- specially made for Mom (cos she requested for it ^^" )

Julie/Julia- Inspired Project Part 1- Scones & Brownies

must say, i went a bit too ambitious with this one(scones). i've never bake scones before so, i was a bit clumsy while handling the dough.in addition to that, i didn't have the right cutter and a good wooden board to work my dough on. i had to use a cookie cutter instead, hence the weird shape.haha. i followed whatever that is said in my recipe book.and whoa la! the dough turned out great.neither too dry nor too tough. it was soft in the centre with a slightly crunchy crust. very floury. just the way i like. nice......heee.... i served it with my favourite blueberry jam. yum~ kitchen was out of fresh cream so i only ate it with jam =(

scones and tea for breakfast anyone??? XD






btw, i've made a tray of brownies for april&sat's party last saturday. it was chocolatey and soft and gooey and chewy. *this comment was given by most of them*me no perasan here*XD*
i replaced walnuts with almond slivers cos walnuts' getting more and more expensive these days. heh. the hole in my pocket's gettin larger and larger =(

 

"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind" - Dr Seuss


i talk and share my thoughts on serious matters but i know, at times, i'm not entirely truthful. don't get me wrong. not being truthful doesn't mean i faked the conversations i had with anyone of you. there are times where i tend to hold back and just go with the flow or i would just keep quiet. even if i disagree with someone's opinion, there are times where i would just ignore what my mind think for fear i would hurt that person and for the fear that i would be judged. in other words, i am a self-conscious person who thinks too much to the extend that i'd get misunderstood. and when i do, i'd just keep quiet also. i have the tendency of rationalizing every thing before making my move. it could be either a good thing or bad thing. but i am really glad to be able to speak up the other night. and i'm really, really glad that louyanapriltan was there. merci beaucoup. if Dr Seuss was right(which i hope is right), then i hope people that really matter to me, important people like you, would not mind me being myself.

I'm sorry. I feel so disgusted to have a friend like you. goodbye. AU REVOIR MON AMI. Bonjour, étranger!
