of rocky choc chip cookies and procrastination

after much much procrastination, i randomly decided to bake a batch of choc chip cookies and just use all the choc that's been sitting in the pantry and tempting anyone who sees them.. [i swear, my friends decided that they could munch on that just fine since i wasn't baking anyway]


and, the verdict, they were awesome flavour-wise.. *something fishy coming up* because, it was total chocolate chip OVERLOAD *sweat face* my experiment rats loved that..

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY ♥

 uhh.. just not the texture.. after it cooled, some parts of it were rock hard.. i think, it would've made really awesome ammo.. i actually had to tape a huge CAUTION sticker on the cookie jar after that..

and i've a perfectly reasonable explanation for what happened..

i was attempting to create this huge giant cookie that i saw on youtube [more about this totally cool channel later] and the recipe was all in WEIGHT.. you guys might not know this, but i estimate my ingredients.. always have and always will until i decide to get a weighting scale.. the previous successful recipes had instructions to measure ingredients by cups/ tablespoons and such.. 

so.. *grimly* yes, i played around with the numbers..

XDDD amanda came up with an even better explanation.. this was what she said to me in whatsapp:
" you know how when you bake, you bake with love? in your case, i think it was tough love"

i was like "whattttt. . . *sweatface*" she probably had a point..
i do apologise and i promise that the next batch would be less lethal.. i hope ;)


another thing that i finally did get myself to do was to make sushi.. again.. this is not my first attempt.. but it was my first time making it alone.. it wasn't too bad, if you are considering how fast they disappeared while i worked.. pretty simple and foolproof too!

i found myself with some leftover rice and sausage.. this resulted in:

sausage bits onigiri.. i still haven't quite mastered onigiri art just yet.. so give me some time and i will.. *challenge accepted*

overall, it was a pretty good day.. self declared holiday and all.. watched a couple of movies, read a few interesting bits of goss on FB.. [we are such attention whores!]  i actually made all the food on the 13th, the day before Valentine's..

thanks to roomie and bestie, miss elise for the photos, being in them and being one of my first lab rats.. [she always is] and last but not least for hanging around so so much xoxo
