Joined a Baking Group

August 5, 2012 / Filed Under: food, peach moment

I joined a baking group this month over at my food blog, The Peach Kitchen. I figured this would not just inspire me but push me to bake and learn more about baking. As you all know, I am a self-taught baker and maybe I can bake good cookies but look at that Halloween cake I did last year.

This is a nasty out-of-the-grave- cake. It doesn’t look scary. The hand that was made of white chocolate has chubby fingers. Yeah, it tastes good specially the chocolate ganache but it doesn’t look presentable.

I need lots of practice!

Dinner at Yabu with the Kids

You only need to say three words to these kids to get them excited — Let’s Go Out!

Last week, before I embarked on my month-long weight loss challenge with C-Lium I decided to treat myself to a nice dinner with the kids at Yabu in Megamall. I braved the rush hour and drove for nearly two hours.

But it was well worth it because the kids ate a lot. They loved using chopsticks! I actually brought the training chopsticks I bought for Ykaie a couple years ago so she can start using it.

I had the Hire and Seafood Katsu set. The kids had the Chicken and Fish Kid Katsu sets. And sis had Katsudon.
