Ala Famous Amos cookies

When kak lizah (office admin) asked me what I wanted for the wday present?
I answered, oven ! (high pitch voice)
Cos, I always like baking, compared to the conventional cooking.
Ngee ;p
I love going to the bakery shops, admiring those dainty bakery appliances and love the smell too ;)

Though it took me 2 months to start baking anything...
It was nevertheless a succesful first-time-trial !

Got the recipe link from kak marina, but I googled some more and found this one.

Love it to bits !

Considering it was my first time baking, and everybody in my house seems like they are on diet...
I halved the recipe


Ingredients :


Mixture (1)
1/2 stick butter (I used buttercup)
1/2 cup castor sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

 
Mixture (2)
1 egg 
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
 

Mixture (3)
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup corn flour

1 1/4 oatmeal (blended)

1/2 teaspoon soda bikarbonat

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 packet Chocolate Chip Hershey (semi sweet)
1 big bar Chocolate Cadbury Dairy Milk (shredded)

1 cup chopped nut (I used walnut)

Method :

1) prepare mixture (1), (2),(3)

you can use a mixer to mix, mixture 1 and mixture 2.
2) Cream the butter with sugars [mixture (1)]. When it getting soft and fluffy, add in mixture (2).

3) After that pour mixture 3 gradually. At this time you might need to blend it manually.

4) Add in Choc chip, shredded choc and nut gradually to the mixture

5) take one small portion of the mixture, roll it into balls and the flattened it.
Put it on a baking tray with 1-2 inch separation

 

5) bake for 16 minutes on 150 degrees celcius heat.


My mixtures came out a lil bit soft although I keep on increasing the temp and time in the oven.
So, I let it cool for a while.
The texture of my cookies after that was just nice.
Not too hard, not too soft.

the recipe will get you 2 bottles of these ;)


Mine might not look THAT appealing/saliviting because I failed terribly at controling the heat....
but tastewise...Its Owh-My-So-Delicious !!!

Please try it :)

Bitter Sweet 29

7th Jan 2012


Happy birthday Sayang....

You are supposed to be the happiest person on your birthday,
but things are not always like what we wanted it to be.

Im so sorry, but you have lost your favorite items.
I dont know how u dealt with the situation cos it seems like
u were not disturbed by the fact that
Someone just broke into our car and took your things !
Location : parking McD Bangsar
Please don't leave your valuables in the car.  
No matter how confident you are with the surroundings.
Don't take any chances.

Partly, it was our mistake for being too careless.

To make this drama become more tragic,
The incident happened a day before his 29th bday
+
We were on our way for a honeymoon trip to Penang.

double -_-'

Being with someone so positive about life makes my mind, boggling.
His first reaction when he knew his things were gone : thanking Allah S.W.T
that I'm not the one who missing because that, he can't handle.
I can't digest this.
He reminded me that, when things like this happened.
Its important to be calm and NEVER loose faith.
Its a test from Allah SWT.
Kami Redha.

Since the bday boy didnt make such tragedy a big deal.
We proceeded with our plans for the gateaway.
Plus, we got the accomadation sponsored by the lovely Divas & Divo.
Thank youuuuuuu...korangggg !

not in the picture : 'divo'

We got to make it worth. HAHA

We stayed at Paradise Sandy Beach Resort.
Nice hotel with beach view.

The Hotel

We enjoyed our stays there although at times,
we felt a lil bit sad on what had happened.

But there's no point to dwell,
Just move on and learn the lesson.

Places we went to

Initially, I wanted to treat his birthday dinner at Pizzeria
But, we reached Hard Rock at 10.30pm. Pizzeria close time : 11pm.
Booowooo.  I thought they open until 2.00am. HAHA


Plan B,
We went to The Ship,

Bday Dinner


Us

What a trip ! but we enjoyed it nevertheless.

2monthsary

How time flies............

He kept on complaining why our life now, suddenly become so slow.
He was comparing with the times we had during wedding preparation. -_-

We dont plan what to do on weekends, we rather just go with the flow.
What happened to our things to do AFTER we married? Have yet to discuss on that.
and our room, needs major improvement !

I felt it too.
Our life, just becoming the usual.
Given the chance to spend most of our times together....
we should make it happening and wonderful.
we should plan activities to do with ourselves, family and friends.

My mom said, it's ok...you both are still in the honeymoon phase.
She usually, not that understanding, but thanks mama ;)

Coincidentally,
Today, my division is going to have a bowling tournament.
My group name : Ada Aku Kesah? thanks to Mr. H, but NO thanks.

Wandi gonna join it. He is excited.
I was quite surprised that he wanted to join, the first time I asked. padahal ajak2 ayam jer..haha

Will update with pictures, after the tournament. If I have any good pictures :)
