Today was an ultra
eventful day can! Hahaha.
Went shan's place for a baking session..our first attempt at baking cheesecake! At the end of it all...I still can't really decide if we were successful or not. Lol.
Wanted to double the recipe, but we ended up with a little too much cheese, butter and sugar..and not enough shortbread. But that's not the most "interesting" part..
Was supposed to use a food processor to mix the cake base properly; after all the ingredients went into the blender, it just wouldn't work! So out came everything again and we just anyhow mixed. =p
And then! Came to the cheesecake mixture..the most
important part of the entire recipe..I mean, without it, make what cheesecake?! Haha.
I think we might have overloaded her mixer a
weeee bit..it started throwing tantrums very soon and before we knew it, it started
smoking. Seriously, if my phone was next to me, I would have dialled 995. Haha!
Shan and I were completely flabbergasted..it was quite funny. Lol. And so, we started an arm-training session by working our muscles to the
max..manually mixing the cheese mixture!
Cheese is not like water can, not just a simple
stir-and-mix kind of method. She was telling me, last week I trained by leg muscles by climbing up 60 stories; today I trained my arm muscles by
baking mixing cheesecake. Lol.
Okay la, so we tried to coax her mixer to work again..it helped us out with the sugar before it decided to give up on us once more. Thank goodness the bulk of the work was done by then..and super
heng that her
oven didn't decide to go on strike as well. Haha.
I don't even want to go into what happened
after the cheesecakes were baked. That's another "nightmare" in itself. Of concave cheesecakes, bases separated from the cake, and tofu-looking dessert. =p
I'm pretty happy with the cheesecake I decorated though! Even if it doesn't seem very edible. Haha. Nevermind, look nice for awhile can liao. Lol.
Was late cos' of all the unexpected things going wrong, and so my personal "chauffeur" picked me up for dinner! Thanks sweetie for going the
longggg way to ulu ulu woodlands! You seriously saved me a
very tedious trip. Hahaha.
And me loves the gorgeous flowers! So pink and pretty! And I'm really damn
gan dong by the gift..no guy has ever gone to such lengths before, really. Thankyouuu! *huggs* =)
Really darling, if you were a girl (which you are already so much like =p), I think you could become my second bestie. Lol.
Am
sooo gonna maximise my sunday before it's back to work again! Busy busy weeks ahead..sighh. But life is starting to get more colourful, especially with the girls in office. The 3 of us are seriously one noisy marketplace everytime we're together! But I likee. =p
Sometimes, there can be heaven on earth after all. =)
