Food I've attempted to cook

I find myself quite impressive..if I were to go overseas, I think I can survive...now time to get some local delicacies recipe into my recipe file..

Made tortilla wraps. Slightly thicker as we did not roll it out thinly.

Suddenly had the urge to make Lemon Yogurt Cupcake and went out to buy yogurt and lemon. Taste wise is okay but slightly dense. I am not sure if it's cause I overmixed it or if it's cause I anyhow dump two bottles of yogurt though recipe ask for 250ml. =P Mine total was 280ml.

Made Muar Chee. Gave Jen Jen the recipe and she made it too. Mad proud of myself.

Made Christmas cookies. Did not manage to make to give out as I was so busy!!!!

 

 

 

  Basically these are what I've made, I think I have more but yea...overall, I made quite a bit of stuff with Thermomix. Kinda fun. Things I would not have done otherwise. Boyfriend is baking more bread too. Love him for his enthusiasm in cooking with me. And his ability to finish up the food. What's the point of cooking if you can't finish it right? Also, we need to start thinking about sharing =P

Goals until end of 2012

Pao and I set our goals while we were at the training just now. Mainly because our 90 days challenge ends on the 31st of December so it makes an apt goal to achieve before 2012 ends.

We will......

Attend the meetings and trainings diligently so that we are qualified for the 90 days challenge.

and

We will.........

try to do at least 4 demo (praying that two will bear fruits!!!) Uni has been crazy, duties are coming in, it's really hard especially now I have to purposely wake up early and try not to sleep too late (lest I can't wake up) for morning run and I feel that day has been cut shorter for me. But I know that I have a GREATTTT God. And I can do ALL things through Him who strengthens me. So I shall persevere, knowing that He is with me and I will be okay at the end of the day.

34 days till the end of December!!!! =) We shall end this year on a beautiful note.

Blogs have been boring. I will try to update more next week. I have to sacrifice Marshall Burger's opening okay??? It's not easy, just bear that in mind, it's not easy.

Starving at 12.37am

Should not have made my mantao at night cause the yeast need more time to react at night. And I am starving. And it'll be an awesome breakfast tomorrow!!!

So I shall wait while my mantao is hiding under my comforter, warming itself up. T_T

I think about time already. Gonna go and steam these babies up. After I clean my table.

Upgraded

Since Jamie, my Thermomix came to my house (like 2 days ago), I've stopped cooking on the stove (COMPLETELY). I've been cooking rice, stir-frying, blending, making soy drink and kneading bread with my Thermomix. She has officially cooked at least 5 types of food by now. Not bad for a beginner. Trust me, I've only been to the demo twice (like recently, don't talk about 2 years ago okay?) and I've managed to make so much.

Proud of Jamie and myself and the boyfriend. =P Just showing what I've been cooking for the past two days.

Day 1 - Rice with Stir-Fry Vege cause we bought Ayamas. Just came back from training. Too exhausted to cook.

Day 2 - Eat the same stuff as the day before. Freshly fried vege and leftover ayamas. T_T

Day 3

Rice, Sweet Sour Chicken, Stir Fry Broccoli and Carrot

Soy Drink

Wholewheat Sausage Croissant

Never had such juicy, crunchy sweet broccoli and carrot. I've never been good with broccoli cause I always ended up under cooking it, making it taste bitter. Or over cooking it and make it turn yellow. But Jamie does it best.

Forgive the excessive sauce. Was trying to cook my usual dish with Jamie, my Thermomix. It worked, just a little too wet. But it taste AWESOME.

Soy Drink. With all the fiber, VERY HEALTHY

Wholewheat sausage bun with cheese (some only) for the boyfriend to bring to KL. And also to bring home. Free from preservative!!

This marks the end of my week 1 cooking as I'm going home tomorrow!!! Stay tune for next week!!! I'm very proud of myself, the boyfriend and Jamie. Thank you God for blessing us with Jamie, our Thermomix!

 

 

 

Why did I decide to buy Thermomix?

Many have asked me, you haven't even have your own house, why do you need Thermomix? It's not exactly cheap. And worst still, you are still studying. No stable income.

I have a few reasons to it only really.

#1
It's not cheap. But it's a great investment and I am willing to invest in it. To choose to pay this amount of money for something that will last me 20-30 years and save me so much money from eating the same thing outside for 7 times the price, I am willing.

#2
It's healthy. I believe it's time we start to care about our health more than we care about how many new clothes we can buy or how many expensive meals we can have outside. Relationships and friendships can still be built over food, but just over food that we cook on our own.

#3
By the time I own a house, I will need bed, refrigerator, television, oven, sofa, nice toilet, nice cupboard, flooring and trust me, the list goes on. If I wait until I get my own house, I'll never get to appreciate the awesomeness of this machine because it'll probably take me another 5-6 years before I am settled down to get it. What if I got my child then and I'll be saving for him or her and I'll not have money to get this. I believe this machine will help me in the long run. As much as I believe in saving, we both do, it's a good investment at a good time.

#4
It's never too early to start a healthier living. If you know how much harm you get from the traditional cooking and with this machine, you can get a better and healthier life, why not? And cause I'm paying it monthly, it helps me to be more responsible with my money and save every penny I earned from tutoring.

#5
This could be what I want to do in the long run. Having time for myself and yet doing something I like, cooking and sharing the goodness of Thermomix. I have to start somewhere and it's God's plan that I actually followed my mum and sis to the demo AGAIN (went like 3-4 times already) although I was extremely exhausted.


I'm loving Jamie, my Thermomix right now. Will share my experience but for now, it's ALL LOVE!!!!

Jamie came into our life

That's the name of my Thermomix by the way. Named it Jamie cause the boyfriend and I adores Jamie Oliver.

Welcomed the baby into the family and cooked our first dinner of stir fried vege and rice with it. It has been a long day so I did not bother to make anything more. Thursday will experiment with other stuff. =)

Will continue to update.
