In a Fruitful Life

一直都好想焗麵包, 因為我好~~~~~~喜歡食包包! (當然, 飯始終是我至愛 ) 以往一直只焗蛋糕, 因為聽說焗麵包很困難, 要搓要’撻’麵糰, 還有要發酵...太多步驟, 聽完都不敢去試. 直到近日手痕又身痕, 想試弄點麵包來吃, 這幾天上網和到書局搜集一番後, 終於, ‘登登登登’~~~~~ 今天要變身成為’東和馬’(註)了~  

由於早幾天已經預備好要買的材料(其實我要買的只有麵粉和酵母而已), 今天要預備的只是...一雙超級清潔的手和一個半飽的肚子.(不能餓因為沒有氣力, 不能太飽因為要試製成品)  拌, 搓和’撻’麵糰的時候就好像work out一樣, 搓搓撻撻很快就覺得有點累, 但看著一’pat’黏黏的麵糰變得滑滑的, 然後看著它發酵成三倍大...嘩~ 感覺很神奇, 雖然未焗, 但已經很有成功感 ~

由於之前沒想過第一次搓麵包會成功, 所以我沒有為發酵前的麵糰拍照(怕家醜會外傳嘛 )...但當看見脹脹的麵糰時, 我就’嗱嗱臨’掘出我的dc來拍拍拍照~~ 呵呵~

拍於臨入焗爐前. 和未發酵前的麵糰分別很大, 大約發了三倍左右.  焗盤略為小了一點...我以為麵包盤和 pound cake盤是一樣的...唔 

30分鐘後, 出爐啦~~~~

來幅側面照~ 發得很高啊~

脫模後~

我和弟弟都吃了一大片~ 呵呵, 包面有點脆, 弟弟說’很麵包啊’~ 又沒有酵母的after taste(我最怕的了)~ 好野~ 明天有麵包吃了~ yeah~

由於怕焗麵包失敗, 和昨天弟弟說想吃蛋糕, 當麵包在焗爐內焗焗焗的時候, 我快手地(15分鐘內呵~)弄了香蕉muffin(因家中有很多快熟透的香蕉)

5個分量的recipe我做了7個, 相中一個消失了, 因為弟弟已經在吃...

我也吃~~ Muffin面脆脆的, 但內部很鬆軟, 還很有蕉味~ (我只用了一條香蕉啊)

到了這個時候, 那些muffin已經全部在我們的胃中了~ 

剛剛弟弟又出’order’, 明天來做做蘋果muffin, 好, 吃完我的麵包後也來做做另一種麵包~~ 呵~

總結: 第一次做麵包, 大成功~~~~  做麵包, 很好玩啊~

These days I kept having some cravings for certain foods…
Is it because it’s getting colder here or what?
I’m quite a stubborn person, as when i have a craving for a kind of food, i won’t give up fetching it until i’m filled with it…

So..last week i was suddenly craving for curry…
Unfortunately I couldn’t get the curry i wanted on that nite, so on the other day i tried to eat curry in a japanese ramen restaurant…yes, ramen restaurant.
I guess, as they’re famous for their ramen, their curry..hmmm….not very good i must say, especially the chicken, the more i ate the weirder i felt…

Then last night i was talking on the phone with my dad who’s in hk,
he reminded me of ‘Mui Garden’’s curry…gee!! How could i forget about this restaurant when i think of curry!! How dare me..
As a result…my dinner tonite was Mui Garden’s curry beef brisket rice…yum~~~~

I gotta say: This craving is being fulfilled~

Previously i was reading some articles about restaurants in hk(heh heh..i was doing research, already ), three words caught my eyes: 碗仔翅!!
Now it becomes my new craving~~~
But problem arises: where can i find 碗仔翅 here in vancouver? I have no idea!

Guess what?

Take a peek~~

...a corn?!

WRONG~~~ it’s a corn-liked ice-cream~~~

And it tastes like corn!!
I love Korean ice-creams…

P.S. These pictures were taken like almost a year ago…i just forgot to post them…couldn’t find this corn ice-cream in the Korean grocery stores anymore now…so sad..
