My First Baby-Step....

I wonder what got into me, this is my second posting within the same day and it has been my third within the same week. Suddenly I feel like I have so much to share, not to say I have a wide audience to this blog. but anyways....who care... small group of audience is STILL audience....

Ta-Da.....
My first attempt to bake "Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies". Looks OK isn't it.
Well, try comparing this to the burnt one and you will agree with me that this batch looks the best. L-O-L

Over the weekend, this was my little project, despite feel so sick for a couple of days. I pulled myself out of the bed, get out from the house and grab some ingredients and start baking. I have to say that baking may look easy (try google-ing Nigella Lawson and see how she bake cookies, darn...that woman make it look so easy like stirring a 3 in 1 Milo drink, OK!) but when you actually do it, it is definitely not THAT easy.

Through-out the whole process, I was struggling all the way from measuring the right amount of ingredients to making sure the oven is heated up at the right temperature and last but not least, estimating the baking time. After 2-3 hours of messing up the kitchen, Phew...finally I manage to put 2 plates of cookies with 10 pieces on each plate. Why 2 plates? Let me tell you why. With the total of 20 pieces of cookie, I could only show 50% of  my masterpiece to the public. The remaining I have to either scrap off the burnt part or threw it away.
Check out the defected one...bummer!! Eating these will be like munching on charcoal...

Well, although it did not turn out to be what I wanted it to be, deep down I feel kinda proud with myself for pulling myself for what I did. I manage put some actions into my wish-list instead of complaining and whining about what I wish to do and I haven't gotten the chance to do it.

So will this be the last time I bake? NO way....I will continue to bake and next time, I'm aiming to hit 75% to 80% success rate.

Now, the problem is, I'm just wondering who is willing to be my lab rat to eat / "indulge" into my little "pride n joy" as I continue making them?

Oh well, I'll manage it..... somehow....
