Paul and chocolate chips crisis

Paul is right. Spain won yesterday match. I bet those German want to make a soup out of Paul.
It just an animal though.. sheesh..lighten up.
Today is messy day. I feel messy. Everything is a mess here. Clean dry clothes in one big bin bag and the kitchen is in mess.
Oh well... at least I will move around. It is not as sunny as yesterday but sure dry my clothes pretty quickly!
I feel like baking though personally I swore off baking ..but I couldn't help it!! I want something to munch!! Can you believe it is impossible to find chocolate chips here?!! No chocolate chip in the store!!! There is chocolate chip cookies but noooooooooooooo chocolate chip for baking!!!!

I guess I just use what they have in store... modification is way of life...

Doughnuts


Blog problem... don't know why but it is pain in the ass.
World Cup update: Brazil lost to Netherlands. Surprise? yes. a bit.
Anyhow, I wanted to eat doughnuts today but I am much more want to make it myself than buying it so I've checked my ingredients and as usual, you always runs out one ingredient and it is usually an important ingredient. Dry yeast. So I begin to search doughnuts without yeast and I found one Jewish recipe. It is Mini Doughnuts. I give it a try because I have all the ingredients.

2 tbsp- sugar
1 egg




1. Mix eggs and sugar. Add remaining ingredients. Mix it well.
2. Spoonful it into hot oil and fry it.
3. Serve with icing sugar or ice cream if you want!! yumm..yumm..

 Baking madness

I need to stop baking. No matter how hard I try, the cake or baking result isn't good. So., I need to stop baking without proper equipment. I would need a good scale, measurement cups, mixer and muffin tray or any baking tools. yes, I will baking with proper equipment from now on. 

OR I just use ready made cake mix if I have the urge to eat something sweet or just need the feeling of baking. It's odd, I know but I do have that feeling. 

Anyhow, it is good thing I didn't do anything about the muffin when I was at summer place. Kitchen was a mess and everybody is drinking a lot. I mean A LOT for straight 3 days. We even have 30euros worth of beer cans. 

Conclusion, no more baking. :-) 

oh, I've made lemon-cream cheese muffin today. It was good. unhealthy good. 

Totally Klutz

I was totally forgot about the bread in the oven. Talking about ignorance eh and now, I ignored the bread in the oven!!! 

Hitam legam roti ~~   buang makanan je...  

I can feel the bread is crying..  :( Over tanning...

I am making chocolate muffin today! guilty pleasure or I would say "craving".

I'm baking straight from the muffin mix. It is easier and cheaper if you adding all the ingredients into one shopping bag. Beside, I'm the only person who will eat it. My bf doesn't like sweet things. ( I'm the only sweet things he will ever needs *wink* wink* )

He eats chocolate but not as obsessively as I do. :-)

I guess most girls love sweet things.  Tell me WHO doesn't like it? minus the girls who are obsessing with diets. Hey, even my diet consist of chocolate milk! :-) and girls who have bad teeth and been ban to eat chocolate! nooooooooooooo....my teeth hurts when I ate Tupla though of course Tupla is chocolate bar and as if I will sworn off any other chocolatey stuff. I am eating chocolate muffin for lunch today!

wind is mad today or perhaps wind is too excited. i went outside and i can feel the wind can lift a tree. I got my blog back after gmail disabled it yesterday because of "funny activities" that happen in my emails. It is a spam that I'm involuntary involve in.

Past is past and no need to bitch about it.

Since I moved to very very very far away land, I have begin learning about making food. Mostly because I do not have my mom cook it for me and I am feeling under the weather if I don't eat rice. I am Malay and I need rice. No need to argue. You can take me out of Malaysia but not Malaysia out of me.

Learning process is fun. I had burned the food, too sweet, too salty and everything in between. Thankfully, Malay food isn't hard to learn. It just sometimes you need a lot of ingredients to remember.

Asian shops is only available in Helsinki. *bummer* so I really need to plan what to eat. Because of Malay food consume much chili paste, I can say I am in love with chili paste I bought from this one asian shop.


I love the taste and I love how to perfectly cook the sambal. *drool* I will not start to mumbling about making food. I am not ready yet. Perhaps I will make a blog. For sure it is beginner friendly. I am beginner as well and as a beginner, you always want to find a very easy way.

Til next time!

Cake (again?)

I am making chocolate cake (again). The reason why I making chocolate cake is because I want the chocolate batter! I don't care much about when it coming out from the oven, I just want the batter. It taste soooo good. I know it is not good for my health, but still, only once...(riighht).

I was thinking that I have cocoa powder and other ingredient so why not! Though I am very much determine after this I will only buy grocery if I want to cook something that day. I feel I wasted so much money by buying stuff that I will use after 2 months and perhaps when I want to use it, it's expired! *bummer*

I love cake batter, especially and only chocolate batter since my mom used to made cake whenever Raya season. oh my... I love whenever she mix the ingredients in the mixer and my finger start crawling into the batter when the mixer stop. *loveely*

I know for some people, it will gross them out but I think I am useful in this cake baking process because I will clean out very much the mixer bowl..nothing left, only my finger print all over the bowl. so the conclusion is I like it raw, babeh!! If you wondering whether I bake the cake, I do. I am not as gross as you think I am...

Depressing. The color is changing to yellowish reddish and brownish and wet-tish...
I think everyday is rainy day. It's been 3 days straight without sunlight and it makes me cope inside the house even more. Well, as depressing as it sound, it is not bad at all.

I love the colors and it is my first autumn ever. I can't answer when people asked me whether I still like Finnish weather, I'm just here for 4 months now, and through only 2 season, so give me a break. :) I'll tell when I complete my cycle of seasons.

ahh... smell of chicken with koriander leaves. :) I've cooked chicken mostly. I don't do meat much. I found cooking chicken is easier. :)
