What I Love doing....

BAKING or in general I love cooking. I am not skilled cook, but I do love cooking. Its not that I can make money out of my baking…ehhheh.. but my passion is at the kitchen. The kitchen is like my territory and if I have started baking I really don’t want other people to disturb. But somehow, my kids managed to get over it. But I think its fun having baking session with kids. Little chef in the making, no…

I don’t really bake like every day or every week. Its like once in a blue moon…, like when I sense some “seru” that my oven will be in on mode. When it was pregnant my daughter, I was totally hooked with baking and cooking. I will bake and cook whatever I feel like and whenever I feel like doing it. I remembered, one day I came from office, quite late evening. The only thing in my mind was karipap..  I was few months pregnant at that time. So, I couldn’t wait no more, after maghrib I started my karipap mission. Asked my maid to prepare the potato, onion and all. I, myself did the batter. After that, I cooked the filling and while waiting for the filling to be ready, I did the batter. My son was amused looking at his mother digging the thing…, not to mention about my hubby…


I also love baking kuih raya. Last year I did pineapples tart and cornflakes madu. I even did 3 times from the normal measurement for pineapples tart, mainly because my hubby and I love that kuih. And I tell u, the kuih was a hit…

I hardly do any baking after I delivered my daughter which as nearly 3 years ago… but somehow, recently the “seru” came back. I even bought new bigger oven (40 litter). I have started with some muffins 2 weeks back with some assistants from abang and adik. They love “helping” me. So I guess, why not make the cooking session as part of my family get together. Next weekend, I have a big order from my sister. Actually, my parents will do some kenduri next week for my nephews “khatam quran”. So, my sister was thinking to buy muffin as one of the “berkat” besides bunga telor and some sweets. Then it triggered me, why don’t I do that. So, I called up my sister and told her not to order but I will do the 100 muffins. Wahh… macam bagus je kan.. what the heck, will take this challenge and do it. So, I guess this weekend will bring me to Bake With Yen and get started. I’m planning to do a trial this weekend, to see how many can 1 measurement make. Emm.. do some mathematics and to see if the recipe suit the tastebuds… emm.. wish all the lady lucks will be with me, with the new oven somemore. Need to get used with it so my muffin wont get burnt.. 
