sch, note tat for my steamed egg recipe, the step of boiling the salted egg is not necessary unless u wana be able to eat bits of the egg white of salted egg.

pink, if your muffin recipe indicates plain flour, it is best to use plain flour. coz gota omit some ingredients if use self raising flour. must share share ur muffins pics k.

[pinkbunny]

ya lina, simi class? did i miss something? line dancing?

pinkbunny is the champion - never read recipe properly, added the butter and sugar together with the flour right from the start instead of folding in at the end. aiyah never mind la. it's already in the oven, see what happens in half an hour lor

today i went up and down my flat so many times.
1 - go see doc and market

but yest, din manage to dump boss after check-in n could not meet up with my fren for dinner. even had to bring boss to the bund for after dinner drinks there. the most funny part, after we sat for a while, suddenly, i heard a crash. when i turned and look, it was my boss on the floor. his wooden chair collapsed n he was sitting on the floor.

i had to suppress my laugher and showed some concern instead. alamak!!

[pinkbunny]

morning er... afternoon all!

bo eng as always. today morning went to the ZOO for meeting haha. then afternoon got 3 more lined up for me. these days my backside hardly ever warm up my office chair :S

sch, don't worry, you will love wonderful in your gown. choosing is very fun!! i went with my ah bu to choose cos ah lao pantang, say he cannot see the gown

very nice bonding session with ah bu then

hey the dinner you cooked sibeh got standard leh! happs! yes i did banana muffins. yes, the banana smell is very nice when baking! phew it turned out ok even though i so kuku, go and add everything to the flour right at the start :S ah lao said next time can try walnut. maybe raisins also can. choc chip!

levynn, got moth cos you never cook is it? hehe. btw how, did you manage to solve the prob of the black spots in the toilet/sink?

 

[schnauzie]

yep! very happie coz it is moving very close to my photo shoot

the herbal soup my ah lao commented tt it looks like those u can get in the food court..keke mus be sayin tt there is restaurant standard~ i added alot of gou qi zi and red date so turned out v sweet and the chicken essences make the whole gravy v thick too..but i used chicken thigh like ant...but forgot to deskin the chicken so was abit oily...ah lao also prefer neh neh so i gotta do the chicken neh neh version for him next time =)

pink - did u add alot of banana? i only used 2 banana and felt tt it wasnt enuf..did u use vanilla essence or banana essence? last time i go to baking supply shop and the uncle there recommend me to use banana essence instead..but have yet to buy n try. Think ur ah lao is right..chopped walnut is a good combi with banana for muffins

 

[pinkbunny]

wah... restaurant standard sia!!!! mai siao siao!!! ok la. i also want to try this fantastic herbal chicken dish and join the gang! but only one thing... i'm not a very big chicken essense fan... is the smell very strong? cos last time ah bu used to force me to drink it when i was a kid, and i got phobia since :S

i used 4 bananas... that's what your recipe said mah. but still not quite enough leh. next time add 5-6. can use potato masher to mash

 

[skylar]

[tea_tree_oil]

to all e baking experts,

does sodium bicarbonate=baking powder?

 

[skylar]

I found this &amp; paste it here somewhere so thot I share with u all to ya..

Super free today... kekeke... found this DIY way of getting rid of blackheads &amp; whiteheads advised by someone in another beauty forum..

I used cotton wool dipped with egg white to get rid of the blackhead as well as the whitehead on my face lor. It's more effective than the biore porepack. One more important thing to be noted is tt, it's CHEAP and moreover you would found your face pores had tighten and face SMOOTHER! Things you need

1 egg white
some cotton wool

Dip the cotton wool with the egg white after which you "paste" it on your face. Do take note tt not to dip too much lor as egg white is watery and you would find it dripping off your face if you had used too much. Normally, I would cool the egg white in the fridge before using it as till then, the egg white should have "hardened" abit and you would have some refreshing feeling from the coolness of the eggwhite after you had apply it on your face! Remove it when it dries! Hope this helps!

 

[schnauzie]

no baking expert - but sodium bicarbonate is not = baking powder.

baking powder is soda bicarb mixed with other stuff

 

[tea_tree_oil]

tks schnauzie....hm...so wat will hpn if i leave out baking powder whn baking muffins? but i'l add baking soda...

 

[schnauzie]

i just follow wat the recipe ask for..differ with recipe. be careful with wat u substitute coz all this baking powder n bicarbonate are rising agent..anihow substitute may make u end up with a pancake instead of muffin hahahhahaha

 

[tea_tree_oil]

yeah tht's wat i m afraid of...jz felt like doing some baking...hv all e ingredients...except realised sodium bicarbonate may not b baking powder afterall...n i'm halfway thru! argh!

 

[schnauzie]

u mean u r baking NOW?

 

[spongme]

tea tree oil,
yr muffin recipe got acidic ingredient to activate the baking soda bor, if don't hv, better stick to baking powder.

the substitution is like this:

1 tsp baking powder =

1/4 tsp baking soda plus 1/2 tsp cream of tartar

OR 1/4 tsp baking soda plus 1/2 cup buttermilk (decrease liquid in recipe by 1/2 cup)

got it from some website, can't remember... heh

aiyo, ladies, I so miss chatting with u all lah, I this morning insomnia so cook green bean soup for my hb to take to ofc to "lim". Wed cooked cabbage rice, other than that, never cook ah, oops...

 

[spongme]

don't ask me what is buttermilk hor, I also don't know. but this is the substitution for it...

Buttermilk 1 cup =

1 cup yogurt

OR 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar plus enough milk to make 1 cup

cheers ladies! hv a great weekend....

 

[skylar]

Wahaha... SP, u very cute leh..
sure got pple ask u wat is Buttermilk ah..whaha.. okok... me no baking fan.. only like to eat.. whahhaa..
