You will love these too.

Cookie Tins

Yes.
Something baked.
Yet again.

Citrus Sables.

As you can see, I was trying to be artistic.
Pass?
Hehe.

Thank you Zhulaiha, for the lovely paper doily and the measuring cups + tins!!
Check out her very cute baking supply shop and photo blog too:)

I had a whim to put the sables into cookie tins and my mom suprised me with these:

I am shocked that these tins are still here.
The story: I was once crazily in love with these and I obviously had some/quite a lot of cash at one point of time (in the past) because I bought like 8-9 tins at one visit.
You must be thinking, ahh. they were probably cheap.
Well, (*drumroll) each tin will set you back at least 30-35 bucks a tin.
The last time I was back there was on the bf's birthday and I bought a tin of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" for him.
Anyway.
The point is, I grew horribly fat from eating those things. ( I did give some away, but still.)
It was so delicious, I really could not stop popping.

This 2 were my favourite if I remembered correctly.

The rest.

Check out The cookie museum if you are free, they are located at the Max Brenner's stretch at the Esplanade.

Ahhh. back to those Sables.
I think I am going to be real fat soon because I cannot stop eating them!
Damn.

Oh.
GAT 10
Edit: Gat 11. GAT 10 was the lemon meltaways.

To the most wonderful friend, Happy birthday.
I wish I could be there to smother you with kisses and hug you like a Mama Bear but alas.
No matter.
You know you are in my heart always.

Vanilla and Lemons

Introducing my baking girls: Manda Panda, Ting
Ting bakes quite often but Manda not so often.
That explains what happened when we made these:

Looks yummy no?
It would have been disastrous if I had not realized I had added the whole bottle of vanilla essence into the mixing bowl.
Thanks to Amanda who read the recipe and asked me to measure out 2 TABLESPOONS of vanilla.Well, there I was thinking that sounds like a hell lot, but there were weird recipes so I did not think too much into it and just measured it out, only to find that I had emptied the whole bottle. So that is when I was like: "Manda, are you sure its 2 tablespoons? We finished the whole bottle!" She looked back at the recipe in her hand and said,"Uh." Ting said," Amy, you look." And I did- it was obviously 2 TEASPOONS.

Anyway, I should have known!! Since I bake all the time. Alas, we corrected by the means of measuring 2 tsp from the pool of vanilla essence mixed with egg yolk and the remaining vanilla essence and egg yolk went south and that was that.

The last time we baked was at my house and we made a tart with pastry cream topped with strawberries:

Heart you girls deep deep:)

I made my first lemon meltaways the day before too! I refrigerated the dough upon realizing that I was to refrigerate it not freeze it so the dough spent a few hours in the freezer. I baked it a bit too long too I think. Ah well.
We all have 'Amanda moments'.

A bit random, but here's Max, Ting's fat fat dog!

In other news, I sat through hours of 'hair-perming' torture with Ting.

Dinner at Basil Alcove was yummyummy (as usual:))
