김밥 ♡





김밥 Kimbap awesomeness

So... I spent my weekend and my day off on Monday making lots of 김밥 with my dongsaeng so that we have plenty in the fridge for me to take to the office in my お弁当 today for lunch (*^~^*). So much fun and very delicious! Was using different things to make a variety of fillings.
  
Some ingredients we used included:

Simple pleasures to make the day go by...

Little things that make a day in the office a little less boring...


It is soothing to know that simple things can really make you smile and lighten up your day. We should always make time for these little things and not rush through our lives lest we miss out on the little doses of happiness we can get in life (*^^*)

Rainy Days and Coffee...



The weather here has generally been miserable.
Much rain, icy cold days many degrees under zero, sometimes snow.

My Green ♡ Heart

Today I spontaneously decided to modify recipes and bake my own Matcha Green Tea Heart Cake.
It was probably just under 2lbs in weight, about 2-2.5 inches high at the side.

It was deliciously moist and fluffy soft inside (*^^*)

Success!

Cherry Scones

Another spontaneous baking day where my dear Mother requested homemade scones after passing by some large scones in a bakery. I made some cherry scones immediately when I arrived back (*^^*)

Cupcakes: Gone in 60 seconds...



ヾ(@⌒ー⌒@)ノ I made fluffy cherry sultana cupcakes!!!
Yes, the Hello Kitty apron donning fairy is back! Once again, I've put on my pink apron and decided to make cupcakes for my dearest. I used a different recipe this time and they were looser and fluffier, but somehow I preferred the softer and smoother texture of previous ones.

I literally just got back from eating them. Spontaneous baking is the best (*^^*)

Anyhow.. I barely managed to get any photos because they were all gone within seconds of them being put on a plate!!! Here are my photos fresh from the oven... 


Waiting for my fluffies to turn golden....

Yay they are ready!! On multi-coloured polka dot and mini star paper cases ♡ ☆



12 seconds after....

Wasabi Calbee Prawn Crackers

わさび!☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆

I absolutely love Calbee Prawn Crackers and these are the Wasabi version, which means they're smothered in Wasabi powder. It's too good to be true. (*^0^*) I like the original version too..

Spontaneous muffin cake day!

So today I donned my Hello Kitty apron (yes, Hello Kitty) and decided to bake cupcakes with whatever I can find (*^^*)




Turns out the cherries and sultanas were too heavy and large for my mixture that they sunk to the bottom. But nonetheless they were delicious and sold out in 2 minutes! My parents were chomping one after one Hehe (*^0^*). Everyone was so eager to eat them they ended up with burnt tongues haha!
My brother came back and asked for more.. but they were all gone by then! Bless, I'll make more next time (*^^*)

My home economics teacher had always said I had a talent for baking (*^.~*)

Also, it meant that today I could use my cake stand hehe!! Oh and my polka dot papercases....

Food ~ simple luxuries in life that gives you happiness

Food. I just can't live without it. 
No matter how conscious I am of how healthy my diet should be, I always always make room for treats. 
Why? Because they make one happy and it is actually healthy for you. Sweet foods and snacks can increase your endorphins, a hormone that can make you feel happiness and pleasure (*^^*) and being happy means you're full of energy and active which burns calories. 
So that bar of chocolate for you is actually good for you!

Lately I have been really into small pastries that are bite-size, which means you can have variety and not over eat! (*^^*) 

Here are some little treats for myself I've had lately...
And something special (well, not special, but cute *^.~* ) that I bought....

Sun finally hits England... and I finally get hit by money!

Hey everybody!!

Long time no writing! Hehehehe. I hope you've all been well and haven't left this blog. I know I've neglected it a bit from my 'personal touch' (*^x^*) *giggles*. 

It's been rather manic on this end. I had several interviews with the big bosses as soon as I got back from my 'holiday' and now I'm frantically writing and editing for my deadlines. *^^* But it's ALL GOOD.

Good news is though I had a absolutely wonderful Birthday month and the sun has been shining like crazy this past week! We were all so worried that the UK won't have a summer this year since it's been raining non stop until this last week. But the sun finally has hit us and warming us all up *^^*
Oh and I've finally been told I've been awarded a Scholarship for my PhD! I'm exempt from fees AND I get some pocket money each year (*^.~*) 
(no I'm not telling how much that is *giggles*). It's for THREE YEARS! (*^.^*)
I was told that I was up against some tough competition in those interviews for the scholarship, including some Law students I saw outside in the waiting room... I saw some seriously tall, macho looking confident guys in suits.
I'm also now Faculty Student Representative of the Faculty of Business and Law for PGR students (Post-Graduate Research). So that means turning up to committee meetings etc. I'm guessing it'll be mostly social events organising since us PGR lot don't complain much (*^.~*) hehehe. Parties, oh yes!

I have a major deadline in August and then a super major important exam in September. But that's not to mean I'm not partying (*^.^*) Well... my idea of fun and partying usually is to do with food... 





I adore this patisserie shop called Patisserie Valerie in the city centre. So many cakes and delicacies!!! MMMMmmmmmmmmm~   (o*^^*o)

The one on the left is a Citron Tart, all lemony and zesty fresh, and the one on the right is a Raspberry Tart which is a pile of juicy raspberries piled on top of an egg custard filled tartlet. Gorgeous stuff!
