南瓜饼

这些天我把家里的食谱都翻了一篇， 看看少了哪些又喜欢哪些才好下手去买。

因为喜欢的东西总共就只有那么几样可以下手的，所以我很有可能会买回一样的。

当然曾经有过double的漫画书和食谱，并在一年一度的收拾书橱行动中被发现了，所以我才会那么的有感而发的。。汗

好吧~ （终于记起那次的惨痛经验并深深地。。） 其实这个真的不能怪我啦~~ 因为我家里的书橱分出两个， 一个是不常用的，另一个则是常用的。所以如果它是寄宿在不常用的橱柜里的话，那么不被发现不是很普通吗？

这个七月特别热，整天都让人提不起做什么的兴趣。只是坐着就可以留很多汗了。。还会想要做些什么吗？

肚子饿，嘴又馋的时候就想来点点心罢了。

这次是个新尝试。

南瓜饼

用料只有南瓜，幼糖粉和糯米粉。

我用家里的面包机把粉团准备好，然后一个个20gm的分好搓圆，下平底锅前压一下。

我家里的小孩很喜欢吃，几乎让他们两个全啃了。

到现在我还会想起，当我把红茶泡好的时候，他们已经吃了一大半了，还在呼呼喊热。。。好不可爱啊！！太萌了！

昨天在杂货店看见新鲜的番薯，想到家里的番薯还要一段时间才能收，我就买了些回家。

一蒸一倒就把南瓜饼改成番薯饼了。。这次小孩才稍微的留了些给我们两个大人。

可能敢想又不相克的话，我还会再试试其他的，反正闲着也是闲着。

生活在于勇于尝试

自己试着做咸蛋

其实是件还蛮简单的事。

这是我的感觉。

家里因为公公生病的事而开始把腌制品划掉以后，我们家里基本就非常贫了，吃的东西选择不多。

自己试着做之后， 唯一好处就是小孩也可以放心吃了。

用鸡蛋来做其实是因为我没有好的鸭蛋来源，而鸡蛋是在超市就可以买得到的， 所以很方便。

就是颜色没有很好看罢了， 嘿嘿~

啊~还有零技巧的切割技术。。（^///^ .....对手指）

蛋黄的形状虽然不好但是颜色却意外的好看的说~~ 对吧！？

有兴趣试试的可以参考以下的资料。

材料：

一个清洗干净的玻璃瓶（我用家里备有的玻璃瓶）原料基本就是照着瓶子的大小而定的。

鸭蛋/鸡蛋 的分量可以看瓶子可以放得进几粒。

粗盐 和水的分量是 1 比 4

酒 （什么酒都可以）一汤匙

花椒 两茶匙/ 一撮

八角 一粒

做法：

1。蛋用水洗净，沥干水份备用。

2。1比四的粗盐和水放入锅中， 加入花椒和八角煮滚。待盐已经完全溶解后， 熄火待凉。

3。把一汤匙的酒放入锅里。

4。把洗过抹干的鸡蛋放入玻璃瓶，把已经凉透的盐水倒入， 务必让盐水盖过鸡蛋。因为鸡蛋会浮起来所以可以用东西压着它们。

浸一个月就可以开来品味了咯~ 很容易吧~ ^ (.) ^

 (完蛋了~我现在才想起我上个星期做的那瓶好像忘记在煮后再加酒了。。。会不会怎样啊？~~~~~）

甜心小蛋糕

最近的一个小烘焙尝试，爆甜的小蛋糕。

我明明在节甜的~（跺脚）但是还是吃了好多个。。所以最近应该要更节制了~哎 （叹气）

话说上次买的一堆的纸杯到现在都还没有用完， 是不是我烘得太少了？

想想啊~最近的一次聚会应该是在年尾了吧， 到时把它们都用一用好了。

不过该做哪一种好呢？。。（离题了）咳咳。。（不好意思）到时翻一翻食谱再做打算好了。。现在还是讲讲我甜心吧~

刚刚烘好的时候， 那个香味就已经让我很不怕死的吃掉了第一个，现在拿来拍的这个，应该是第二。。还是第三个吧~ 嘿嘿。。我忘了。。

这个是第一趟的， 颜色没有很深，金黄色的表层， 很可爱吧？！

但是只有吃过的我才知道， 这并没有过瘾。

第二趟的， 烤得比较久一点。。那个口感才是最棒的涅~ 呵呵！

因为最上面的一层其实是饼干的料，所以烤得橙色点比较香脆啦~

这是我这个懒人用的材料的包装，奶油饼干（左图）跟巧克力蛋糕（右边那个）。

有时候真的不想拿出太多东西， 难收拾又要洗什么的， 所以就。。能懒就懒罢~

这个真的是超简单的， 有空也试试吧~

巧克力的蛋糕， 取出一半的用量就够了。搅拌好了在纸杯子里放入一半就入烤箱10分钟。

叮一声之后， 取出来。看到最角落的那包Cloud9巧克力吗？

剪开包装，在蛋糕中间放入一个Cloud9巧克力， 

再用奶油饼干的料覆盖它（预先搅拌好整包的用料）然后再入烤箱15分钟。

可以看看饼干用料的盒上写的烘烤时间来做参考， 反正就是金黄色了以后就好了。

很容易吧？

也很好吃哦~

我家大人跟两个小孩都喜欢， 这几天的早餐都是它们就对了。。加上一杯牛奶。。（他们两个一起床了以后， 就会自动去冰箱拿出装小蛋糕的盒子和牛奶的）

好像这样吃还算ok吧？~ 

最近， 他们在吃维他命c和用药材汤调理， 好像身体都有显得ok了一点， 起码， 吃一点点冷的东西也不会那么容易咳了~  万幸啊~ 

好了， 今天就分享这个， 希望我没有把它弄坏才好， 因为没有食谱的这是。。都是靠经验在拿捏的。所以。。就酱吧~ （心虚的溜）

彩绘松饼

我最近尝试的食谱， 彩绘松饼.

闹着玩的。

看起来还行吧~

本来应该是 B 字来的， 但是我忘了把它写倒翻了。

后来， 再试着把它写翻方向后， 发现那是其丑无比。

再试！

再试！！

再试了以后， 我发现。。。用来做彩绘的料已经没有了。。哈哈！所以只能做罢。

玩着的时候， 

真的没有怎么想的，

就乱乱的给它写上小孩的名字速写。

希望他会喜欢， 

但是。。奈何小孩跟他爸一样， 

问我：“妈咪， 为什么上面的颜色这样？ 是不是烤坏了？” 眨着眼睛。

“！！！！！？？？？！！！”

你就没有看见它上面写的是 B 吗？！！

太欺负人了，这个小孩。

木的没办法。

真想给他敲下去。

后来东西上桌，发现只有我自己吃的津津有味， 小孩和他都不是很喜欢耶， 怎么办呢？

他们都觉得它不够甜。

比起我平时做的松饼。

不过考虑到它的用料， 我觉得它真的还行~ 

如果有朋友想要尝试，它的用料如下；

低筋面粉：150g

泡打粉：两小匙

鸡蛋：一颗

砂糖：25g

牛奶：1/2杯

水：60ml

香草精：少许

可可粉：少于1小匙

做法：

1，面粉和泡打粉混合后过筛， 备用。

2，将蛋及砂糖倒入碗内，以打蛋器搅打至泛白后，倒入牛奶及水，搅打均匀。

3，倒入 （1）， 由外往内翻搅后加入香草精。

4，将三大匙面糊移至小碗内，加入可可粉搅拌后，装入挤花袋内（或者用一干净的小纸袋）

5，在已预热的烤盘上以挤花袋涂鸦后，淋上面糊 （3），煎至表面出现洞孔后翻面，（这里有点难拿捏， 我的第一个就焦了）至到呈现漂亮的焦黄色为止。

最后， 可以依喜好涂上枫糖浆， 蜜糖什么的来配着吃。。

我喜欢空空的什么都沾， 再配上一杯咖啡。。慢慢享受。

每一天就算再忙， 我也给自己一小时，

慢慢的喝着咖啡， 吃着点心， 听听广播。。

希望大家假日愉快

I have been busy like a bee.....

Yup!

Drawing a tree in my house is a dream for me. I mean I've never have such an freedom to do so, imagine if I draw it on my parent's house? or my hubby's house ( if we live with them) ? I think they would have angry and mad at me like ..forever? I don't know. May be or may be not, but I wouldn't give it a risk.

我常常幻想拥有一颗树， 在我的房间里或屋子里。一直都没有机会，父母家和夫家都不是能发挥创意的地方，我从来不敢多想。现在，在自己的家里，对我来说是个好地方，我可以不受约束的发挥我的想象力，去创造我的天空。

first night

second night

the 3rd night

finished work. ^-^

I was extremely tired, just because I've given myself a hard time for the preparation. We fight for no reason the other night, and I found out I was under pressure, hubby as me to slow down the preparation and he willing to give a little help with the cookies too! Aw... I was then "soak in the honey" for a few day.

夜晚，小孩睡着了之后， 我便开始工作了。白天，我让自己做一种饼干(新年用的）便收工。几天下来，脾气不好的我还与老公为了小事， 小吵架。过后老公说我的样子好像很老，我听了也难得的赞同了一下。他才要我放下工作好好的休息一下，并承诺会早一点放工回来帮忙我。^-^ 接着几天，我都是浸在蜜糖里的工作着。。。。

- Ingredient A mixed well (egg has to be put in one by one).
- Ingredient B mixed well and slowly add in to Ingredient A while mixing until thickened.
- Spoon the mixtures into the ready pan, a little (enough to cover the whole base of the tray) then spoon in the cheese ingredient a little (enough to cover the mixtures), follow by the mixtures again (same method) and the cheese again and mixtures again.....
- Then flatten the top of the pan and set in to bake for 180c for 45 minute.
