20g sugar
2tbsp butter

100ml milk
1 egg

Hurmm.. I hope I don't miss anything here.. Heeee..

First mix flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Add butter, beaten egg, and heated milk. Knead until nice dough is formed. Let it ferment for about half an hour. Form into the desired shapes. Let it ferment once again for about 5 mins. Fry and lastly garnish with fine sugar..

Well I'm now addicted to Desperate Housewives. I have been watching for almost a week straight. I haven't seen this series before, though a friend once told me about this series. But considering the way he told me, that he enjoyed seeing eva longoria's big round butt, i wasn't really interested in the series. Hihi. Until now, I dont recall how I get started with it. Maybe it is just my desperation. HAHA. In conclusion, we are all just too desperate to live a happy life. And happiness can be interpreted in many different ways, each according to ones' personal point of view. And people are so selfish.

movie: julie, julia and julian

Haha.. It's actually 'Julie and Julia' only. It is based on two written true stories, memoirs written by Julie and Julia themselves : 'My Life in Paris' and 'Julie and Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen'. This movie is about 2 women from 2 eras having the same passion for cooking.

'My life in Paris' is Julia Child's autobiography. She was an American citizen, who got married to a government officer in 1940s and moved to Paris, where everything started. There, she found herself with nothing to do and tried various activities to fill her time. She at last fell in love with cooking and attended some cooking classes because she could not find any French cookbook in English. She was then underestimated by Frenches, for they claimed themselves as better cooks compared to Americans, where everyone there had cooks in their households. She tried hard and eventually mastered french cooking, when her friends convinced her to teach American Housewives in Paris to cook. The idea of writing a cookbook was initiated by a friend, but they faced difficulties in publishing the book.

Julie Powell, in America, is only a telephonist having a hard life living in an old apartment and always feels in-adequate, for her friends are more successful than her. She wants to do something new that can change her life. The idea of writing a blog just comes to her. Thinking about the content of the blog, her husband suggests to blog about her cooking. So she challenges herself to cook 524 recipes in the Julia Child's first cookbook 'Mastering the Art of French Cooking' within a year, a dateline given by her husband. Her blog 'The Julie/Julia Project' gains large following. She becomes famous but then realizes that Julia Child is not impressed with her endeavor at all, which is very contradictory to her imagination of Child, whom she claims to be very connected with while cooking.

Though they are separated by time and space, have different lives, different attitude, but they find their lives intertwined by the same passion : cooking. Julia is very lively, whilst Julie's life is always under pressure. Julia has a big house and complete cooking utensils but Julie lives in a small apartment with a tiny kitchen. But then they discover that with the right combination of passion, fearlessness and butter, anything is possible. With supports from loving husbands, everything goes very well.

kuih keria..

Before goreng..

I call this snowy keria.. Yang ni try2 goreng je, night before.. Nak tgk jadik ke x.. Tu yg malas nk sire gule yg cam biase tu..

And this is caramelized keria. Kalo kat mesia camni la rupe dia.. Ermm.. Sedap..

Simple je care membuatnye.. Rebus keledek sampai empuk, letak garam skit to taste, then lenyek2.. Pastu letak tepung skit.. Uli2.. Pastu bentuk2 kan la macam ni.. Kalo malas buat bulat2 jek.. Hihi.. Pastu goreng.. Siap la first stage..

Then, utk menggulakannye, masakkan beberapa sudu gula n sikit air.. Pastu biar sampai pekat.. Utk memastikan gula dh cukup pekat, titiskan gula tu sampai dia jadi mcm bertali.. Baru masukkan keria yg dh goreng itu.. Pastu gaul2.. Bila gula dh lekat2 kat keria padamkan api..

Kan senang.. Hihi.. Breakfast pun sesuai, minum petang pn boleh.. :)
