Our Beautiful World !83 ~ Yummy

I love cooking and baking, so my photo folder has tons of YUMMY photos....

like these short bread cookies Dolce and I tried during the holidays.....

extra YUMMY if you top them with royal icing.

speaking of cookies with royal icing, the last trip I went to London, we visited Biscuiteers at Notthing Hill....

I just had to buy this even though it is overly expensive, it is YUMMY though

these bagels are my first try in January... they are YUMMY too! We had them with smocked salmon, super YUMMY!

These are Bakkwa, also known as Rougan, is a salty-sweet dried pork, they are considered delicacy when I was growing up, people have them only in Chinese New Year, the price could go up to $60 a kilogram during Chinese New Year in Singapore, but these days, people have them all year round, however, they still are very expensive during Chinese New Year. Since we are not allowed to bring in any pork product when we entered United States, so I never bring these home when I travel back to Singapore, the only place I can get is an online store in CA, but they are rather expensive too, so I made my own during Chinese New Year this year, they really taste YUMMY!

 

if you go to Starbucks with your puppy, don't forget to ask for a Puppicino, bet your dog loves it. "YUMMY!!!!" said Papi

Our Beautiful World 172 ~ Hobby

How many of you are like me? Plenty of hobbies but not enough time.

I shouldn't say paper crafting is my number one hobby, but it is sure what I spent most time on right now.....

I make all sort of things using paper, like this place card for one of my wedding order....

I make mini albums....

cards and lots of other things with paper

 

 I also love sewing.....

this is the pillow I made for Lila, Clare's dog.

 I also love cooking.....

trying different recipes is fun....

baking is also one of my favorite hobby.... I even try to cultivate natural yeast this past week....

this hobby takes time and patient, they said you should name your yeast because you feed time since day one and watch them grow, so I named my first yeast baby SNOW WHITE, this picture here is day one of SNOW WHITE, if all goes well, SNOW WHITE will be full grown yeast by tomorrow, and I am able to use it for baking. I will keep you updated.

One more HOBBY.....

gardening!

I am not very good because my thumbs are not green, but I don't mind keep trying... this is my celery in the garden, hopefully I can show you more photos later.

Ok, I think that is enough HOBBY in this post, I have a lot more but I just need time, I wish there are 48 hours everyday, so I can at least spend a few more hours for my HOBBIES.

Our Beautiful World 157 ~ Baking

Yesterday was Lione's birthday, since he is here in Vegas, I did some BAKING for him....

unfortunately, we are too excited eating the cake, so I forget to take a before picture of the cake....

I managed to save a piece and bring it outdoor for better picture...

 somebody also had a little birthday cake on the same day....

Papi is celebrating his birthday this month too, he is now three! 

Baking is something fun I like to do....

but I don't do that as much as I wish because when there is just DH and I at home, we couldn't finish the things I baked most of the time, mainly because I only eat the freshest bake stuff, I would still eat them on the 2nd day but 3rd day, hmmm....

If you have something related to BAKING, why don't share it with us at
