food

i declare that i am very irritated.

this is my off-week. mdm tan gave me a whole week off to get some air. and i was supposed to not do any electronics related things so i will go back refreshed. or something to that effect.

so i got kinda bored lying on my bed and playing my ds the whole day. so i decided to bake.

muffins to be exact.

tried it once yest.

left out baking soda thinking that 2 g of baking soda wouldn't make much of a difference since there's baking powder already.

muffin turned out so dense. would make a good rock to throw without hurting someone TOO badly.

tried it again today. went out SPECIALLY just to get the baking soda.


and here's the results



it turned out okay. pretty normal muffins.


which makes me so irritated coz it was supposed to be mango-y and there was barely a hint of mango even after like adding a blend of 1.5 small mangoes AND mango flavoring.
and something feels missing. even though i followed the recipe exactly somewhat. ( it was supposed to be banana muffins but the bananas at ntuc look waaay too green so ya mango it is). probably i should try using the huge australian mangos instead of the small little malaysian ones. and maybe add a bit of coconut extract.
hmmm.

okay i should stop thinking about this.
2 days of non-stop muffins are kind of over the top already. 3 will get a little crazy.
and not to mention fattening since there's no one to eat my muffins.


went grocery shopping coz my parents left me at home with barely anything that is really food. (and by food i do not mean processed crap like sunshine frozen pizza) realised that grocery shopping is very expensive. spent about 50 bucks in total these 2 days. and i didn't get much. if i ate bread and bread only everyday. i could probably last only for another 2 days.
kinda crazy over sandwiches recently. made a really good ham+cheese+olives+lettuce sandwich today. thinking of making a ham+salmon+mushroom sandwich tmr morning for breakfast. yum.
