Another weekend has come and gone. Norida was attending seminars over the weekend. So I was home alone with the kids. Not too bad but their whining (understatement) about each other can make you go nuts (which I do sometimes).
We also had a little gathering with some friends to celebrate the little boy. We served up Mee Bandung, Mee-Hoon and 2 cakes for the celebration. Everything tasted really nice. The first cake were a plain butter cake filled with raspberry jam and vanilla butter cream and covered with whipping cream and bananas. The other one was a chocolate butter cake that didn't turn out that well. Mainly because I just managed to put 1tsp instead of 1tbsp of baking powder, so it got a bit dense, which wouldn't have been a problem if it hadn't got dry as well. It is a shame as I managed to make a smashingly good chocolate cream to fill and cover it with. Oh, well have to give it another try sometime and make the chocolate cream justice with a yummy, juicy chocolate cake.
I also made some bran muffins that tasted too much of baking soda and should need some spices in as well and most importantly our oven turned the bottom of the muffins...hrm.. slightly dark (looked like a cm of charcoal on the worst hit ones, though some were more or less perfect).
I can't say I am awfully happy with the gas oven. I miss having a good electrical oven. Though I would probably bake too much if I had one. And that wouldn't be good for my wifes waistline.
Picture updates later!
