Bah

Posted under Baking, Hari yang bosan, Just babling...

This is really not good. We are here, for the time being, at Damansara, at the husband’s apartment. I have most things that I need to cook, but if I wanted to bake, there is no oven here. None.

And when there is no oven around, I have this hankering for some desserts. It could be good ol’ chocolate cake, it could be a pie. It could be anything baked.

meringue

Well, actually, I do have something that I wanted to try. I wanted to try baking this meringue. I had never attempted to bake any meringues before. It does look complicated, and I am not sure whether I would be able to do it, but heck, at least I could try, yes?

But then, I would have to wait until we go home to Kedah, or if we get one over here. But then, if we do get one over here, we then would have to buy all those baking products, like the mixer, all the pans and tins etc etc etc. How could I justify getting all those stuffs when all I wanted was to make one measly fruit meringue? You tell me.
Bah.

So now if we wanted to eat any chocolate cakes or any desserts, we would go to the bakery. Or we would go and pick one of those ice cream cakes from Haagen-Dazs. However you spell it. It is exorbitantly priced, so I don’t think that would be one we would get even once a month. We get this one, almost similar like this, I mean, and it costs us bunch. How could people spend that much monthly,

I am not sure. We must have a lot of well-to-do folks about, eh?

Perhaps their grow money on trees. It keeps on growing, eh?

I would like to have a money tree, come to think of it.

Anyways, we don’t really spend that much on desserts anyways. Our favorite would be the one that we get over at McDonald’s. Really.

I have taken some photos of the Haagen-Dazs torte, but I haven’t uploaded it to the photo gallery. So I would put it up here later. Much, much later. Maybe. Perhaps.
So OK I would put it up later on. I am anal like that.

Yum. I definitely would want to have these raspberries on the meringue.

Baking project…..

I did not bake this one. My sister did when she came home for a couple of days earlier this month. And it turned out so good, I think I would attempt this again soon….
There’s a story behind this cheesy chocolate cake/brownies. Try we did, but it never turned out as moist and nice the first couple of times around. All the why’s kept on buzzing around in my head…. If only I could pinpoint it, that would be nice….
First time that we tried this was during Raya Haji last year. See, it was moist and believe me, it was really yummy….. And oh, found some more that I baked earlier on here and here, too….

Oh this?

Another plain baked cheesecake. This time I made it for the kak ipaq’s who had yet to give her bloggy address! housewarming. Or rather, I made some for her, not enough for that housewarming, definitely no :)
So, this one was made earlier this month. I made this few days before going to Singapore.
I wanted chocolate cheesecake now. The last one I made was so scrumptious, it tasted more like chocolate mousse than chocolate cheesecake.

Baked that….

easy lasagne

Finally. I think I would choose this one, instead. Yes, this is no better since no layers could be seen, but heck, what could a girl do? A girl could only take whichever better photos that she took. So this one it is, then!
And, it was so easy because I used bottled pasta sauce. I am guilty. And easier because I used precooked lasagna sheets! I am so embarrassed to say, but heck, I don’t think I am the first, nor would I be the last, to cheat like that, yes? And since this would be for Presto Pasta Nights food blogging, this is the recipe.
