ugly

I feel so ugly.. not just on the outside but on the inside as well.. I think i'm just in a self hating mood at the moment..

*sigh*

strawbie cake, kitchen aid and doenjjang chigae

Finally got to use my kitchen aid today! Was eyeing and dying to use it! hee hee

Doesn't it look oh-so-awesome? Its beaaaautiful! Shiny, red, minimal noise and POWERFUL!

Well, today I managed to drag my arse to do some work for about 2 hours with Z. I'm totally slacking.. I really need a kick in the bum to do some work cause the house is just so cozy and comfy that I totally don't feel like doing any work. But anyway, as usual, it takes my lazy arse a week to settle in before I actually start doing some work. Glad to say I did =)

Anyway, made doenjjang chigae for dinner today along with left over roast duck and rice. Deee-lish. I'm totally making doenjjang chigae again, seems like a healthy alternative but it does make me eat lots of rice.
Don't have a picture of it because its ugly. I might make it again and upload a yummier looking picture.

The second attempt at the so called Japanese Christmas cake... otherwise known as the fresh cream and strawbie cake, looks much prettier than the first. Still needs soooo much tweaking tho.. Damn oven. I think I'll double the recipe next time and cook it in smaller pans. Maybe then, it won't dry out, actually cook through and stay the same darn shape!

All is not lost though, WITH the power of frosting and decorating.

Doesn't it look pretty? My Decorating skills could use somemore practice though cause under high light it looks more like this..

Can definitely see more imperfections. I did manage to even out the levels though even though my cake was actually lopsided due to the stupid cake tin. Thankfully, I've bought a new cake tin to take home with me.

I'm probably going to need a better work space and a better outfit or else, I'll get caught out again while making the cake looking like this... =O
