Ok.. so recently I've bought my own place..its great and everything BUT the only problem is furniture shopping. Have you ever wondered how expensive it is to buy furniture? OH.MY.GOD! One sofa will easily set you back to a few grand.. with my budget I probably can only afford the arm-rest (maybe half of the arm-rest) so what do you do? You sit on your old bed that now acts like your sofa!..Flip it into two and ta-dah you will get your sofa...Still not as comfy but then will suffice till get enough money for the rest of the sofa.
Rant of the day: number 2.
Today I bought a pre-marinated chicken and instructions was to put it in the oven for 30min 180c. OK; having a blond moment I put it in the oven for 30min but the wrong temperature.. so silly. After realizing the error; I placed it back in the oven and blast it 200c for another 10min hoping that it'll be able to make up the earlier error.. but noooo..after like 15min the chicken will still raw. urgh..hate it when you cannot be innovative to save your hungry belly.
In the next few days I'll start posting up photos of food that I've made and the recipe for it...
So let's start with bluberry pound cake that I made last weekend and it was not exactly a success but a good attempt. Took it to work and was well liked by colleague who helped me finish them.
Followed the recipe from this website (http://rasamalaysia.com/recipe-blueberry-pound-cake/?pid=1650#image-193) and funny enough if you read carefully..it says to preheat oven to 325degrees..again another blond moment.. saw the oven and went..hrmm..the oven doesn't go up to 325. I'll just put it to 250 and put it longer in the oven instead. LOL.. BIG error.. the website is from US!! In Australia; we use Celsius and US uses Fahrenheit.. so I was meant to be putting it in the oven only at about 160 MAX! Tsk...the crust I tell you was SUPER burnt.
But none the less; it was still very nice and very well liked.. so go ahead and follow the recipe. The picture looks divine.. mine doesn't look as nice so I didn't take a picture of it. But to give you a rough idea; I grabbed this photo from Rasa Malaysia website.
Just another note on the recipe. It calls for 3 cups of flour.. one cup of flour was meant to be just for coating the blueberry which I felt was really too much... half a cup of flour would have suffice as it was a waste to throw the flour out after that.
Next attempt would be to make cornflake cookie.. I think I'm going to try every recipe in Rasa Malaysia. LOL..
