07.02.2010 - Cornflake Peanut Butter Cookies

After the failure on the pineapple tarts, i've no choice to make another type of cookies.

Gone through a few blogs and found this recipe which is quite easy and I can imagine its tasty too. So, i decided to do this.

In the recipe, require brown sugar & white sugar. 1've done 1st batch according to the recipe and its really tasty. Is crispy and smells good.

So, I continue for 2nd batch. This round , i omit the white sugar since i wish to cut down some sweetness in it. Guess what, the 2nd batch does not have the crispy testure like 1st batch and I think becos of the white sugar which I've omitted in my 2nd batch. Anyway, the texture is soft type which i think is not bad either.

This cookies is so much easier compared to pineapple tarts. Will definitely do the same cookies in next CNY since peanut butter also a good 'term' in chinese call 'fa sang' = 'fai sang'..hahaha.

06.02.2010 - Saturday / Pineapple tarts

Today, I'm very dissappointed on my pineapple tarts as I forgot to put vanilla and cos the the tarts have the heavy smell of flour which really disgusting. I was so upset with myself due to careless and made such a silly mistake. Anyway, im hoping the smell will go off after sometime.

I've balance pineapple jam, so i made 1/2 batch of the pastry and this time i make it in round shape. The jam is fully wrap by the pastry in round shape. Although, the outlook a abit ugly due to the cracks surface but the taste is much better compared to the failure batch.

I hope, next year i will have the same urge to do pineapple tarts as this time its really make me sick of it..

My conclusion is Pineapple tarts are not easy to make. ..lor

31.01.2010 Sunday- Friendship

Out of sudden, i received a call from my partner and got blame for not answering a call and not returning a missed call. She was rather harsh on the phone which i admit i made a mistake that i should not ignore the missed call as a cupcake seller. But , does she need to be so harsh on the phone? Why she never think she have to bear some responsibilities as well? She can divert the caller to call me, why can't she simply sms me & alert me on her divert call. Then i'll be alert and definitely will not ignore the missed call.

My mind is shut off over the weekend for cupcake supply as i was not feeling well and also my daughter is not feeling well too. Besides, i was thinking we can't accept any cupcake order since my partner is away. She know very well on this that any order must be done by both of us. She never give me chance to explain and never try to understand my situation.

Sometime, i realise she rather blunt to her friends and never try to understand other people's situation. She always think she is right, she always think she is the best, she sacrifice a lot for the biz..etc. Am i always sitting there to share the profit?? I am not, i worked hard too. Did i ever tell around how much i sacrifice. No doubt most deals are done by her that doesn't mean im useless. Why is she so mean to tell me..'i don't expect you to close the deal'! Is really hurt.

After this incident, i realise is not easy to work with her as she always think she is the best ..she always wants to be the winner and demanding.

I'm swear that i never say such a harsh statement to my closed friends becos i do concern how people feel.

Nevertheless, i learned my lesson and know more about this friend of mine. She always said Im her closest friend and yet she never bother my feeling and simply hurt me directly. Is this call closed friend. A closed friend should understand each other and not blaming without understanding..
