The two sisters

The husband was on business trip over the weekend and so Mum and I brought the girls out for lunch at Yew Tee Point Long John Silver's and for me to have my manicure and pedicure done.

Some pictures I really like from lunch...

Kayla, look here!

Our baking adventures

It has been a reaaaally long time since I baked anything. The last time was at our old place in Yew Tee when Karyn was 3+ years old, year 2009 I think.

Recently, I don't know how it started but Karyn is absolutely obsessed with watching baking videos on Youtube. She'll be watching Betty Crocker tutorial videos and some other random videos everyday after school. And she has been bugging me and her Ma Ma to do some baking of our own at home. After some pesky pestering, we finally relented and went to buy baking products from the supermarket.

The first attempt we did was to bake Nutella cupcakes. I had done some search online and came across Nigella's recipe. Funny, can't locate it now.

Anyway, here are the pictures of our baking adventure.

Our proud masterpieces


Should have just used the muffin pan without the cups cos the cups were too high and the recipe was too little to fill the cups. But they were yummy nevertheless!


This batch is baked using Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie mix, two weeks later
