Baked Garlic Chicken with Fluffy Potatoes + Warm Seasons Greetings! =)

The rainy christmas is coming to an end....

Time flies and lets wait for the next holiday! =)
My family came over for a little impromptu gathering..

I made Garlic Drumsticks with Potatoes..as it's easy..

The potatoes were popular~

gone within a short time.

As for chicken drumsticks,

each of us had 1, 

and my younger sis ate 2! =)

Glad that it was all in their tummy now...

The Lasagna by my brother~

can you believe that this Lasagna's ingredients cost nearly 50dollars in total!

The ingredients are

• Lasagna noodles
• Spinach
• Ricotta Cheese
• Mozzarella Cheese
• Oregano

No meat in there...

After cutting it up while it's still hot,

the cheese flow out ~

Woooooo~~

Our dessert from Canele..

This cake is super mini...Serves less than 6...

but costs about 40+ dollars...

Hmm...do you think that it's expensive?

Anyway, we had a fun chatting session too~

our house was filled with unlimited laughter...

I love it...

Another gathering soon.... =)

Hope everyone of you enjoyed your little or big Xmas gathering!

Happy Happy Xmas to all my readers! ~love~

Happy Advance Mid-Autumn Festival !

Time flies..the Lunar 7th month is over..

now it's the Mid Autumn Festival.

I miss those good old times... playing with lanterns and fire..

burning the grass in our yard...eating mooncakes and pomelo with tea...

Somehow, as we grow older, it becomes more dull....

sad huh? HAHA! Oops..we should be happy!

=)

To brighten up the festival, 

I made some snowskin monncake for my love ones....!

 This is my first attempt in making mooncakes!

I made everything from scratch, even the lotus paste~

it was challenging, I burnt the first batch of lotus paste. 

Wasted! 

Lucky it turned out nicer in my 2nd attempt,

but still not as ideal. 

Hope my family will still like it...

Guess what are these? 

Rabbits?? Piggies?? Monsters??

It's actually rabbits!

They are rather fat~~so don't really look like rabbits..

the skin was relatively dry and hard to mould. I followed the recipe closely,

but the same thing happened for my 2 batches.

I really don't know what's wrong...

 I will try another recipe for my next attempt.

I'm having my bridal photoshoot tmr, so will only have time to make the next batch on the festival itself.

Hope it will turn out well =)

& I will bake some mooncakes next year!
