Gingerbread cookies taste A-MA-ZING!

Went to IKEA today. I bought a duvet! (Yay!) And a bunch of other miscellaneous stuffs - for example, this awesome clock!

My mother bought two sets of gingerbread-house-cookie-package (?). The kind that provides you the cookies and you just have to piece them together. 


So, when we got home, she opened the sets to check whether or not they were still in one piece. Turns out, they weren't - there were cracks everywhere and the pieces were in more pieces. 


She tried to fix it by gluing the pieces back together with icing but failed miserably.

After various attempts, she gave up, and voila! The gingerbread house that was originally intended to be a gift to our neighbor - since they celebrate Christmas - had turned into free cookies for dessert! 


Now, I've never tasted gingerbread cookies - heck, I've never tasted pretty much a lot of things made of ginger like say, ginger ale. So, this is my first time to eat them.


They taste so good! I'm not even exaggerating! The best cookies I've had the whole month!
(Maybe that's because I didn't eat any cookies this month?)


I got myself a new favourite cookie flavour! Woot! =w=

Found it!!

Yatta! I have found a really awesome recipe that looks easy to follow!

This is the link:

Here's a picture of the cake made by the writer:

It looks wonderful, no? I think part of the reason why I chose to bake this type of cake was because of all those cakes I saw in mangas and animes. They all look SO GOOD. ( = 3 =)

But now, the question is, will I be alright trying to create it? I mean, never before have I tried to do something like this and actually success. (= A = ")


Bwah! Who cares? I could do it. Probably. Maybe. I think. Perhaps. 

So... anyone know how many strawberries they usually put in a normal packet in grocery stores? >_>

First Time :: Cooking!! :: Part [1]

Well, specifically speaking, this was my first time cooking a REAL DISH.

My definition of a REAL DISH is:

Something that contains MEAT, VEGGIES, and some CARBOHYDRATES.

I've cooked simple things like fried eggs, cup noodles, fried rice (the really plain one), frozen sausages, toast, and I'm real good at making desserts and drinks.

But never! Never in my life have I cooked a REAL DISH.

In school, there's this subject that covers topics similar to those in subjects in Home Ec. To pass the grade, we have to pass this subject, along with other subjects. (Duh)

In order to pass this subject, we need to complete a whole bunch of different tests. Cooking was one of them.

This cooking activity needs to be done in groups. 

So, me and my two besties were already set.

Oh, but wait!

"Each group needs to have at least a male and a female in it," says the teacher.

So basically, we were screwed.

But then comes my second cousin to the rescue. 

He practically just forced himself into the group. Just like that. And no one noticed!

Sly bastard.

After discussing (arguing) about this and that, and what we should cook, and whatnot, we decided to cook spaghetti carbonara.

I  really did not want to cook carbonara.

Why?

Well, because I really have this thing against creamy, milky, white stuff.

Whatever thing we cook, will end up as our lunch for the day. 

So that's one more reason why I was really against cooking the dish.

But I couldn't put up much of a fight because I lost the argument. 

I lost in Rock, Paper, Scissors.
