of low wooden table and sushi

mel is very creative and imaginative. she is the only person i know who hasn't lost the children side of her. oh and mel is a very good story teller too. something to do with zebra crossing and crowbar. but that's for another post.


what i am trying to get to is that mel et al. (yeap, too much literature review) dropped by our new home the other weekend and she instantly fell in love with our coffee table. our low white ply wood cheap ikea coffee table. apparently that table reminded her of japanese food hence she eagerly suggested that we have a sushi party. and of course being the spontaneous people we are, we started a facebook event and within 5 days, we had our sushi pa-pa-party with loads and loads of green tea~

we had salmon, terriyaki chicken, terriyaki beef, eels, sweeten eggs, carrots and ZUCCHINI for sushi. and we love making sushi rolls because wrapping sushi is the only time one can legally rightfully play with their food

and just to show you how many cups we have.

me and sis, we are cups lovers.

because neither of us are very keen cup washer

being the almighty nicest person on earth, mel bought all the ingredients because kim ditched her. thanks my dear, u know we love u. and next time when kim decided to ditch u again, please please PLEASE call me.

*kim u r not reading this are you? dun tell her i said that*

*

and have i told you that

i LOVE my kitchen

Photobucket



it's so much more spacious and organized and well equiped we felt like we were masterchef/ironchef of some sorts. no kidding


Photobucket

and having 3 chopping boards is a good thing

Photobucket



i love the feeling of being able to do anything because u have everything

come on, who doesn't?

Photobucket

and we had plenty of sushi mats too. thanks people for bring ur mats!

i can't bear to think of what would have happened if we only had one.


Photobucket



EVERYBODY wanted to have a go


Photobucket

everyone excpt sis i guess. because her special friend wanted to wrap sushi more badly than she.

*

and guess what we had for dessert?

Greentea Cheesecake (recipe)

Photobucket

and i cheated.

*

i can't seem to find any greentea powder at the grocery shop near my new place and as you know it was a pretty last minute thing so i had not choice but made do with

Photobucket

green tea bags =.=

*

don't follow me my dear friend. my greentea cheesecake didn't taste like greentea - i was told. but fear not, i will try this recipe again when i get me hands on some greentea powder!

this is a no bake cheesecake (except the crust)

Photobucket


and the cheesecake part? you won't believe how many kinds of dairy products i used


Photobucket

and trust me u don't want to know.

but i am going to tell u anyway

you know, to save you some trouble from having to look through the recips

and to make u feel bad

cream cheese + whipped cream + milk

Photobucket


and now u know why people say cake is unhealthy.

not that you should believe them though.

use ur own judgement. u are a big girl now *grin*

Photobucket


i used triple chocolates cookies instead of choc waffles because i can't find any from my local supermarket. now i wonder where i am staying.

Photobucket

and i love to capture the pouring part. it looks cool. no?
*

and surely i used the wrong camera mode

*

the green should look like this

Photobucket


freeze then in the fridge overnight and there you go

Photobucket

no greentea flavour greentea cheesecake

*

lesson of the story: use proper ingredient. just like so many things in life, u get out what you put in.

see, baking can get pretty philosophical at times.
*

and i baked some donut muffins the other day

Photobucket


i know they look lovely but let me tell u a secret

Photobucket
they were
blend
hard
dry.
*
lesson to be told: dun judge a muffin by it's look.
*
HAPPY SATURDAY PEOPLE!
P.S. can't somebody please kick my arse and make my get some work done. please?
