a look into my eco tote... my loot! :) to make desserts!

saw the fresh berries & couldn't resist.. Hehe. super happy! gonna start making different kinds of dessert. will make tiramisu again 'cause i bought the mascarpone, and the berries... i was thinking a mousse and drizzling caramelised berries on top... yummmm..

i saw marsala wine priced at $31-$35 at the Market Place, kinda regretted not buying it for the tiramisu. maybe i'll buy it tomorow hmm..

oh and i saw very fresh and beautiful strawberries too! nicely packed in a tray and makes me wanna buy, but it's $14.90! :( if i didn't buy the berries i'd consider. haha. that bagful of stuff already cost me a whopping $64.20 ok! now super broke.

made my wallet even more holey was my biggest splurge on books so far: Nigella Lawson's How to be a Domestic Goddess, which cost me $48.10 at Borders. T_T c'mon, take a flip through those recipes and accompanying pictures, you'll also feel like buying loh! :P show you the cover first :P

anyway, after i bought the book i chanced upon Bill Granger's Every Day

i was like, basket!!! i want this book too! i don't think i told anyone, but i absolutely love bill granger! haha. i watched almost all the episoses which aired on channel 5 quite a long time ago, and i jotted down most of the recipes. love his food! for housewives who are sick of cooking at home or have run out of inspiration, this is THE book for you. looks at food at another level! even though it costs almost $70, i'm going to buy it. AND invite the girls to come over and be my guinea pig hahaha..

ehhh.. i cook quite ok.. i think my signature dish should be the pork rolls stuffed with pine nuts and raisins cooked in tomato and wine sauce. i love baking cakes and making desserts most of all i think. cooking is when i invite my friends over or when i have the mood. lol. recently i made dinner and rolled maki for my family. ingredients were simple: unagi, cucumber, carrot, omelette. but i think i did a good job with the rolling haha. darn. should've taken pictures!

i'll try to remember to take pictures, otherwise waste the blog-on-the-go function on my hp. haha.
