.... of baking

Yours Sincerely ( Y s ) trespasses into his better half's domain and bakes his first cake at 57 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the miracle flour for baking. It cuts down the whole baking process to a few simple steps. So, if you young men ever ask your potential wife whether she knows how to cook or bake, do be careful :-

Boy : Er......er....... do you know how to cook?

Girl : Yes, I do cook. ( Maggie, Chintan, Indo, Mamee etc etc etc instant noodles ....)



Better half said that ingredients have to be weighed like gold. We, men, are so used to estimating. The weighing of this and that is so meticulous !



This 20 plus year old micro-wave oven was so shocked at Y S' effort that it suddenly gave up on him. So, Y S had to use another type of utensil where some water had to be put at the base.


This is the fruit of Y S' labour. (Btw, the taste is better than the look. LOL ) It was quite interesting and the final product made you ooze with satisfaction. The satisfaction is doubled when the better half commented, " Not bad." (Btw being stingy with praises and having a high expectation, Y S is used with her " not bad" which incidentally means good. ) Y S may try another recipe.

There are so many NEW things to do in your retirement. Y S has not yet tried cooking. He means going beyond frying eggs and rice to cooking up a signature dish... o la la.....
