I took a day crash course on baking and I had a great time learning. Look at my hands, it seems the flour is so hard to mix that I am trying to hold the beater with much too much strength.

We were taught the basics and with that we baked several types of breads already. At first i made some pancake and cupcakes and my second recipe was cinnamon bread. =)

A Thursday meme by Carin

~~~

Shoot Me! It’s time to stop hiding behind that camera of yours. Your family is missing you in the picture. So it’s time to post a picture of YOU (yes, you) every Thursday with your child, your spouse, your friend, your dog, or even by yourself. Just get in the picture, you’ll be glad you did! And just jump in now with 1 of 52, you can do it

I love potlucks!  I love to see the people getting food to their plates. I love to see long lines with people with different facial expressions.  On my part, i now love preparing the food for potlucks.  I feel lucky to have a boss who loves to cook and really knows how to cook.

Last Saturday, after the Baccalaureate Program of the kids, the seniors with their parents also had a potluck.  There was so much food for everyone.  But i saw that not all kids were present.  There were also parents who were not around but their kids were there.

I think everyone had fun.  I had fun, too. I didn’t eat rice. I just had some fruits but took backed spaghetti for carbs and protein. What i love in that particular potluck was, there was no server.  You can just fall in line, pick the food you want as much you want – then eat!

Everyone’s digging in! You can see them. Right?  I can see my girl getting her food.

While others were busy getting food at the start of the table, the others were also busy getting their share of desserts.  Others just had desserts because they are on a diet.  I was on a diet so i ate fruits first.  I don’t like to take diet pills and experience diet pill side effects.  The bounce effect is not good especially for those who easily get depressed. I was already there so i can say.

After the fruits, i had bake spag, and fruits again.  When i was about to finish my meal, someone gave me some grilled chicken, so i ate a bit.  When i arrived home in the evening, i took some anti histamine pill.

How about you?  Do you do potlucks in your church? How often do you have potlucks in  a year?  I love potlucks that i even thought, when i get married, the reception will be a potluck. lol!

I say galore because i had more than a cup within the last 48 hours.  Saturday lunch, i had a half cup, and yesterday morning, another cup, and today lunch oh my gosh!  for sure it was another cup or so.  I can say that i had so much sweets for the last forty eight hours.  I am sure it’s very bad for my health.  Although i had gymtime yesterday for almost 2 hours, but the calories i had in ice cream was just too much.  Bo bo me, I knew it’s bad yet i just can’t stop eating.

I don’t know how much level of sugar I have now but last year i know i was a bit beyond the border line.  Last year too my cholesterol level was almost at the boundary so it was too early for me to take cholesterol treatment . I am still fit to do a faithful exercise and of course limit my food intake. But i plan to have my cholesterol check in the summer. Who knows it’s already beyond normal.

With the quantity of ice cream i had in the past 2 days, i guess i should not eat ice cream quite a long time from now on or else i will never ever lose weight.

This is up for a grab here.

My mind is full. My thoughts in ramble.  So much to say and write but it won’t just flow on my keyboard.

It’s been awhile that i passed by this new foodie hang-out but it was only yesterday that i got the chance to really experience.   The place is called Kyla’s Bistro.   That was free lunch for me or else i cannot taste their food.  This is what we had yesterday:

and this ~~

Girlie had an orange juice while i had a Nestea.  If i am going to eat this kind of food daily then i am going to die early.  So eating these foods once in a blue moon is surely a treat.

The Main Ingredient

  WHAT’S YOUR ULAM CONTEST HERE.

It tastes the way i wanted it but does not look like the way it wanted to. My recipe of yesterday – Vermicilli with Sardines and Spring beans.

What’s wrong? I have added salt before adding the soy sauce. It should have been soysauce first and a little salt to complete the perfect taste.

Oh we had this as snacks at same time lunch at 10:30 yesterday.
