Hello folks!!!
All those time spent watching Jamie Oliver and Kylie Kwok finally paid off!! I have discovered that im a whiz in the kitchen! Dice, slice, chop, mince... i can do it all! Without cutting off my fingers. Ha ha! Ok, im just kidding. However, i do think that i have found my true calling! * So excited, so many exclaimation marks!* I can bake and FROST! HA HA HA HA!
No need to be envious of the chefs who can churn out beautiful cakes anymore. LOL Well, my *ahem* "creation" wasnt that pretty but heck, beginners deserve some slack.
Ok, i admit. My mom helped me out with the final touches but it was amazing what mother and daugther could do together besides shopping. Mommy, we should bake more often. LOL The idea to bake something from scratch instead of buying one from store was very impromtu. I was forced to make it. Physically abused!!* You know who you are.. evil!:P* Nevertheless, i was glad that i did it and the end result wasnt bad.
Ended up baking a pumpkin pie as well. Its a Thanksgiving dish but since we dont celebrate Thanksgiving, it becomes a Christmas item.
My Christmas Eve's dinner was more oriental. No turkey but steamboat.
Enough food to feed a small army. Of course, it wont be completed without drinks!
Vodka! Just in case anyone is interested, just mix vodka with Ginger Ale and a dash of lime juice. With ice and limes. How much of vodka to add in? You decide. Depending on how much you wanna drink and how smashed you wanna get.
Christmas eve's dinner wouldnt be quite the same without the people i love. Thank you guys for being part of it!
Ah Bee, thank you so much for that lovely gift! I love the colors and the case!
Jas, of all the weird things, you got me the shirt that i actually wanted to buy but didnt! It was so freaky. Ha ha! Thank you!
Gladys and Jo: Sisters by chance, friends by choice. The picture is now nicely on my shelf. I love it. Thank you gals!
Thanks to everyone for their well wishes and cards. :)
This Christmas rocks! Hope everyone had a great time.
