Year of the Snake
Happy Chinese New Year to all..................Wishing Prosperity and Good Health, May this year bring slithering good fortune to all.
I have not been up and going lately. No mood and no creative juices to sew my bear nor do my jewelleries. So, beginning of this year, I have only done up some craft like this origami envelope red packet:
Hope that those people I give this red packet to enjoy them as much as I spent my lazy time making them :)
And here's the pussy willow I bought from cold storage for only $20 dollars.
I bought it 4 days before the CNY eve but it did not open even after 1 week past the CNY. So there's no spring in my house for this year. So sad :(
CNY must have all kinds of goodies at home, but with my health conscious younger daughter and changing diet of my old girl, we decided not to buy any this year. But what CNY without any pineapple tart? So, I surf the net and found this Pineapple Cream Cheese tart to bake. It was soft and delicious. Maybe if in good mood next year, will try to make more.
So, here's the link for the tart : wendyinkk.blogspot.sg
Then I came across another recipe for a green tea cookies with white chocolate
This were nice and crisp for matcha lovers: justonecookbook.com
Oh, I didn't mention that my computer refuse to power on and have to sent it in to Sony for repair and I also drop my ipad and broke the screen, this also sent for repair which I ended up with no computer and ipad during the CNY weekend. But, with the baking of cookies, I was very tired by day end and went to bed early. Lucky for me, I extended my vaio warranty and thus need not pay for the repair service which came up to a whooping over $800 as they change the motherboard. But for the ipad, I'm not so lucky. I have to pay $250 just to replace the screen :( What a start of a snakey year.
Anyway, better pray harder and not to get any more breakage in my gadget.
