wifely duties
As a wife who can cook and bake, it's one of my duties in the household to make food for us. Baking is a stress relieving process for me. So being in stress lately with the registration and preparations for Kindermusik, I've been baking ALOT! Chocolate chip cookies, Marmalade nut brownies, plain ol' Chocolate Brownies, 'Death by Chocolate' Chocolate cake, Apple Crumble, Baked Alaska.. With many more recipes to come! (Pavlova bites, orange & carrot cookies, cherry cookies, experiments with Marzipan!)
My latest craze... Rummed raisins.
Added them to ck's birthday Baked Alaska and it turned out YUMMY!. Creamy vanilla ice cream with bursts of bitter rum accompanied by the sweetness of the raisin. Was wondering where else I could use my rummed raisins so here they are in action!

ME..! ME..! Count me in! hehe :)
i love raisins! rummed? even better.. :)
i have an intense dislike of raisins (it's everything... the texture, the taste, the look, eeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrgh) but your food does look good! i am must better at savoury than sweet. baking isn't ingrained in me, i think it's bcos you have to be "accurate" and i'm more "throw in a bit of this, and a bit of that". i made a trifle on tuesday, and i've been the only one eating it so far in my flat :(
me too.... can??? hehe
[P] I used to hate raisins too! With a vengance... I still can't stomach it unless it's 'hidden' away from me sight and in small pieces. =P Now, I just 'tolerate' them.
Baking's not about being accurate. God knows that I've never made the same recipe twice! hehe.. Savoury's great. Like you said,"throw in a bit of this, and a bit of that" cleans out the fridge nicely! hahaha!
How terrible can your trifle be?? Maybe it's the guys not liking sweet stuffs.
[tgif] Can!! but you'll have to wait.. ran out of butter.. there's lots of raisins left over from the other batch.. and it's been sitting there for days. Totally soaking it up! =D
Oh gosh, I totally agree with p x. I'm more into savoury than sweet. Give me your gorgeous veggie casserole over cookies or cake any day.
As for baking, I'm also very much an accuracy person. I can't stand the agak-agak style... Especially if you've never made something before! When my friends come over and bake, it actually annoys me that they don't follow the recipe, and then they have the nerve to complain that the finished product doesn't taste good!
It's called skill! hahaha!! There's some deviation allowed in baking.. You just have to know what and when. ;)
The rum-raisin cookies were so good! :) more pls... n it needs more rum too.. hehe
