Me-Here-Now

我又在做料理。是西式的,也有中式。還有我的處女作Mixed berry cheescake (失敗了/_\" 樣子甜美,質感味道卻.......與外表不相乎...嘻...)
上星期做了Seafoos Risotto! 非常好吃,呵呵,第一次做就成功,真有天份做大廚 ;)
還有French Onion Soup, 單是炒洋蔥就已經炒了45分鐘...加入白酒與上湯又煮45分鐘,簡直是嘔心瀝血之作(別忘了切洋蔥時害得我淚流滿面 :"""") 當然我倆對這onion soup又是讚不絕口! 而中式料理我尚在入門階段,所以只做了簡單又好吃的咸蛋肉餅,魚香茄子,豉汁排骨等...蠻不錯,呵!(其實這幾道菜我相信白痴也會做...)


除了下廚外,最常做的是躺在梳化看sitcom...有Big Bang Theory, How I met your mother...輕輕鬆鬆地度過幾個無聊的週末 :)


近期添加一項新任務,就是要搜尋一張靚靚的wooden coffee table,當然不能太昂貴,所以任務尚在進行中,且進度相當緩慢...

Song of the Day- Living in the Moment

Jason Mraz- Living In the Moment

Love this song so so much, it speaks for me and it's the song to loop today :)


If this life is one act 
Why do we lay all these traps 
We put them right in our path 
When we just wanna be free 

I will not waste my days 
Making up all kinds of ways 
To worry about some things 
That will not happen to me 

So I just let go of what I know I don't know 
And I know I'll only do this by 
Living in the moment 
Living our life 
Easy and breezy 
With peace in my mind 
With peace in my heart 
Peace in my soul 
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home 
Living in the moment 

I'm letting myself off the hook for things I've done 
I let my past go past 
And now I'm having more fun 
I'm letting go of the thoughts 
That do not make me strong 
And I believe this way can be the same for everyone



And if I fall asleep 
I know you'll be the one who'll always remind me 
To live in the moment 
To live my life 
Easy and breezy 
With peace in my mind 
I got peace in my heart 
Got peace in my soul 
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home 

I can't walk through life facing backwards 
I have tried 
I tried more than once to just make sure 
And I was denied the future I'd been searching for 
But I spun around and searched no more 
By living in the moment 
Living my life 
Easy and breezy 
With peace in my mind 
I got peace in my heart 
Got peace in my soul 
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home 

I'm living in the moment 
I'm living my life 
Just taking it easy 
With peace in my mind 
I got peace in my heart 
I got peace in my soul 
Oh, wherever I'm going, I'm already home 
I'm living in the moment 
I'm living my life 
Oh, easy and breezy 
With peace in my mind 
I got peace in my heart 
I got peace in my soul 
Oh, wherever I'm going, I'm already home 
I'm living in the moment

Me-Here-Now

Listening...to Jason Mraz 'Love Is A Four Letter Word', Norah Jones 'Little Broken Hearts'

Watching...Nat Geo Adventure, my new favorite program named "Departure" featuring Scott, Justin and Andre the cameraman three backpackers traveling round the world, the show has been described as being about the journey, rather than just the destinations. 
Also watching BBC Lifestyle, cooking all the way, love Raymond Blanc, a French chef presenting extremely beautiful dishes, together with his signature phase "O la!" "Bon appetite"!

Watching...american sitcom- New Girl starring Zooey Deschanel, fun and talented girl!
And Gossip Girl Blair Waldorf, Serena van der woodsen, upper east sider. In fact I'm falling in love with Rufus Humphrey....he's so charming!

Reading...travel guide to Taiwan. We'll have road trip again :) gotta have fun seeing the sunrise sunset, the mountain, lake view and the beach. Lovely.

Addicting... Pinterest, a great photos, inspiration sharing platform.

Collecting...some old vintage cans and wooden home accessories

Cooking... real homemade pasta, rolling the pastry over and over, messing things up XD. Looks good but not tasted right, ewwwe...keep trying though.

Looking forward...to the next long journey, wherever it will be.

Handmade Leather Clutch bags

乜都自己整!
自己焗cookies,焗cupcakes,今日就自己動手整clutch bags! 原來好簡單,仲好好玩,哈哈 :D


一針一線自己縫製,要好有耐力先做到!
呢個clutch足足縫咗我6個鐘...

條流蘇做得好精美...因為係個導師幫我整的, 嘩哈哈!

呢個簡單啲,用咗兩個鐘就完成!

長毛二號之大家都姓梁

屋企有個長毛二號(又常被稱維園阿伯,唔係,係維園阿哥先啱),當我每晚坐喺梳化睇新聞時,我都誤以為自己睇緊港台嘅頭條新聞,因為旁邊總有把聲音喺度嬉笑怒罵咁發表政見,又時不時諷刺下時弊,令本來對政治不太感興趣嘅我喺呢位長毛二號耳濡目染下,對各政治議題多咗好多認知,亦都開始關注我哋呢個俾阿爺操控住嘅無能政府,以至近期日日新鮮日日甘嘅選舉新聞。又有時,放工返屋企食飯,想輕輕鬆鬆坐喺度食餐飯睇下新聞,又會無啦啦被問及"你支唔支持雙普選?" "你係咪反對23條立法?""你覺得應唔應該平反六四?"(大佬,我同你一齊去燭光晚會架喎) "你反雙非孕婦來港產子,係咪?" "你覺得係咪應該廢除功能組別?"等等等等......彷彿我變成坐喺《城市論壇》台上嘅親建制派人仕,被台下嘅長毛質問到我口啞啞...(長毛,唔好卒我。比我靜靜地食餐飯)


但其實我覺得咁樣幾好,基本上我唔洗睇電視新聞,又唔洗睇蘋果動新聞,返到屋企自自然然就知道哂每日頭條,仲有埋社評添,慳返唔少時間!唔該哂梁議員!

How's my weekend?

週末,待在家中太悠閒,實在要找點事幹...繼早前在露台種香草,種蕃茄種南瓜,做了園丁日日澆水等收成之後,我又要找點別的事情打發時間...
打開電視,見到Nigella喺TLC主持烹飪節目,穿著緊緊的小背心加上一把唔知點解要咁磁性的聲線,在燈光微弱的廚房裡依依呀呀的說著"ummmm....yummy......that's soooooo delicious...."三兩下手勢便做了個好似真係好好味的chocolate fudge cake....於是...便激發我整餅的慾望!

前陣子我精心炮製的chocolate almond cookies,味道跟賣相挺不錯。
今回就決定做blueberry cupcakes! 花了近45分鐘焗製出脹卜卜的小cupcake,然後在cupcake上繞上漂亮的lemon cream cheese frosting 與fresh berries :) 嘻!好看又好吃! Baking is fun!! :D

剛出爐的cupcake 香噴噴:D

切開了流出blueberry juice...哈!
