This is my first Choux Pastry that I made by myself. My mum used to make it when i was kid, and before she poured cream/custard inside them, we already finished it. Unfilling. This is what i hope when i made these pastry. Unfortunately, they didn’t. Just ate around 4-6 and they left.
However, it’s so easy to make, can’t believe i made them properly. Oh, here’s where i got the recipee. And i used spoon to make it rounded.
My husband confuse b’coz no custard inside. He loves Beard Papa Choux Pastry and concluded that i have to put something. Well, too lazy to stir the milk/cream, i melted the choc bar with cream then garnished above the pastry. Not inside them.
Well, i’ll someday.

I got knee attack. I didn’t know how to mention it. But i drove around the city, then when i stopped, i put my right leg on the road, then it hit my knee. The pain. Seems like my knee joint didn’t fit properly. And it hurt sooo badly. I could barely walk. It happened at the lunch time. So.. rest of the day, it getting better. I still drove way home, and at noon went to mall with wedges. Feel comfort rather than flat shoes.
After i went home from mall, i sat in front of my computer for a while, its already nite, then when i stood up, it happened again. Worse. I couldn’t walk to the bathroom. I had to hold something, as my foot couldn’t straight forward.
The day after, i went to knee and shoulder doctor (though i feel ok in the morning), my husband pushed me to go. Doctor said it wasn’t about my bone, it was my ligamen, the joint. He wanted me to go to radiology to do the MRI scan for my right knee. He said probably because my obsession with high heels. And lately, am addicted to cycling at the gym. Not related to Calcium intake. Yes, Glucosamine might be help. What happen with my knee? Was it Arthritis? Am not sure.
Well, my choice was going home without scanning. Because i feel good. Just remind to myself that whatever i do, do it nice, and proper. Not in sudden act or rush. I know someday it will happen again.

I read the reviews, they said this movie about blogging and cooking, thus who love blogging and cooking, will love this movie. Blogging–am addicted (even i’m not everyday blogger), cooking–woot–not really my hobby, but sometimes i cooked for my family, especially my kids ‘cos they rarely complained. But I DO love cooking show. I adores Jamie Oliver, Nigella Lawson (she’s great, isn’t she?? She makes full fat food and she’s soo happy being not skinny)…
So, I watched it. Not same with my imagination. The cooking scenes not too much, especially desert. Me, as a sweet tooth waiting for delicious-drooling-make-chocolate-something. But there was only choc pie, and choc cake. Well I realised that movie is not a cooking show. So….little bit boring for me, but I DO love Julia Child character (Meryl Streep is gorgeous, as always) even i’m not sure why she hate Julie Powell. And I like Eric Powell reaction when he ate his wife’s food. He really appreciate her.
Am craving for bruschetta afterward.

Have I mention rootote.com? I’m in love with reusable bag, that I can fold into small pouch and throw it into my bag. My faves include envirosax who come in funny pics. And its really small when folded, so I keep one in my bag. The rootote came from Japan and the pics is gorgeous, even the pocket bigger than envirosax, the images are tempting, such as donuts, strawberries, cupcakes…

When i visit the bighugelabs.com, just found the way to make desktop calendar wallpaper for my computer. Just pick your fave photo then play with the edit room, voila…here’s mine:
I saw my friend ate this, and then it became my fave at Coffee Bean. I never order other breakfast except Eggs Ben. This is from Coffee Bean S’pore. Slightly different from here. Here, they gave us dried peach, pear and prune as a sweet thing. But, there, lettuce plus almond and dried cherries will company the egg. Still, the egg is the best. Laying on top of slice bread, and slice of turkey ham, slice of cheddar cheese, then poached egg, with the perfect-cook egg yolk, poured by cheese sauce.

I loved Bakerzin. I think the foods are fresh and delicious. The deserts…tempting. The beverages…uuhhmm, good coffee…good tea….
Couple days ago, I had a meeting with someone. After hit the gym, of course, i was very starving. But i don’t wanna ruin the calories burned, so I’m looking some place with good food that will satisfied my stomach with a ‘just-rite’ size.
Then I passed Bakerzin, and I texted my friend that I waited there. The waitress offered me promo package menu, which consisted of appetizer, main course and beverages, for a special price. Wow…who didn’t love special price??? So I choose Summer Salad rather than Caesar Salad (for me Caesar Salad little bit salty, and I never tried Summer Salad and the best was it had light dressing, not creamy), Aglio Olio for Main Course (as always) and mineral water for drink.
The salad was perfect, lettuce and cherry tomatoes, and caramelised nuts. I have no idea with the dressing. Probably balsamic vinegar, but had sweet taste. I have to order it some day in a full portion. And my husband will love it ‘cos no cheese on it. He hates cheese. So no guitly feel after munching those salad.
