2) I want those pretty hole punches with flowers and leaves and what-nots!

3)Books!

Cheesecake cheaterbug.

Cheesecake cheaterbug. I refer to a particular website which informed me that one slice of cheesecake (baked according to its recipe) will give you 528 calories. I believed so... until my confidence has been shaken by inaccuracies that were discovered during my personal cheesecake-baking experience. I now move onto what I really want to talk about -- the cheesecake recipe and what it did to me.

Firstly, I finally understood why chefs are usually guys (some of them are big burly guys at that). It's because a great deal of effort is required to cream the cheese. Given the overestimated portion that I was creaming (thanks to the recipe -.- ), I devoted 2 hours to slogging-out with a spatula and 4 bars of Philadelphia cream cheese. I hereby declare that the 1kg of cheese worth $18.60 is now worth 7 times more. It's my first cheesecake and I can rightfully call it the fruit of my labour. Labour, literally labour.

So it's just 1kg of cheese right? What's the fuss. The fuss is this: I made 18 egg-tart sized cheesecake, and another whole cheesecake to go. Enough to feed my extended family. And coz I've got to bake 2 batches, I haven't got enough time for my egg-tart sized cheesecakes to sit and cool... so it started cracking. So sad. The next batch will be sitting in for the next 6 hours i guess... ...

(8 hours later...)
erm, I think I should have gone easy with flour... yah, my cheesecake is a little thick... but that doesn't stop me and my sisters from being addicted to them. ahem, if you're staying within a 1km radius from my house, you may just get the cheesecakes. (of course, my decisions are final. No questions please. muahaha)

Reporting back.

Lappy's hard disk crashed. Undergoing treatment at Toshiba centre. No internet for me, no lappy for me... n it feels quite good and bad in a way. Suddenly I had more time to myself. Like accompanying my lonely guitar. And sleeping more... and sleeping earlier. Well, yeah, no internet means no blogging, no checking emails, no MSN... no talking to ppl. Both gd and bad. But it feels good. Free from technology! muahaha. And I've started reading again. If you have any good books, lend me ok! :)
