Listen.

My domain will actually expire tomorrow. Darl decided to go for another registrar together with our hosting. And although we have paid everything and so, I’m not quite sure if everything will go well, you know, I’ve always had a pathetic blogging life.

So I’m expecting this blog to be down for a while, maybe tomorrow.

Fingers crossed. >.<

UPDATES: It seems that everything is still working. But as Satkuru said, it may take a max of 72 hours to see the effects… So if in a few days time you can’t load this site, that means I’m scolding people already… @.@

So this is the day. Darl’s birthday! Happy birthday!

And as planned, today I was supposed to prepare pan-fried lamb chop, mashed potato and vege. I had to take away grilled salmon because the pack of lamb shoulder that we bought was quite big in portion - in fact we didn’t have much choices. Those available at the supermarket were big in portion. :/

I started preparing the vege at around 6 pm. Boiled the potato and started mashing them following mh’s instruction. Did the same thing to the broccoli too.

At about 7 pm, darl wasn’t back yet. I decided to start pan-frying the lamb. FYI, this was the first time in my life that I was pan-frying something. Seriously, I didn’t know how it will turn out and what it will turn into! >.<

I pan-fried two pieces of lamb and that’s when darl arrived. He stood beside talking to me while I continued pan-frying - oh btw, there were a total of five pieces of lamb shoulder in the pack. I thought I might as well cook them all and give them to my sis-in-law if we can’t finish them.

While pan-frying the 4th piece, darl took over and I went completing and preparing the vege and dishes.

And at the end of the day, these were what we had.

A closer look.

They were really yummy! And oh, I did the pan-frying according to mh’s instructions too! It wasn’t that difficult afterall. Yeah I am super proud of myself now. lol.

All in all, thanks Sasi for the brownies’ recipe and thanks mh for the main meals!

So today is the day, as according to my plan, a pre-birthday celebration for darl. There were slight changes on the schedule, whereby darl got himself off from work. We ran a few errands in the afternoon and by the time I finished resting and so, it was already 5pm. OK time to work on the brownies!

The brownies was really easy to make. I just gathered everything on the table and started mixing this and that, and that and this… :P  One thing that I MUST have when I cook is a kitchen scale. I’m really not the agak-agak type, and I have to admit that I have the obsession of making sure that everything is being measured correctly. >.<

Mixing the flour, castor sugar, baking powder and cocoa powder.

Melting the butter and baking chocolate.

Mixing in the flour, with eggs.

Testing, testing… It smelled sooooooo good at this time!

Tha-da!

Although I haven’t tasted it when I’m writing - darl insisted to let it cold first - but I really think this recipe is worth trying. Plus it’s so easy, just mix and stir and pour and bake! If you are interested, go to Jamie Oliver’s website and look for Bloomin’ Brilliant Brownies. Enjoy!

And in the meantime, I hope my lamb will turn out well tomorrow. I actually don’t know how to pan-fry… >.<

UPDATES: The brownies tasted AWESOME!!!

I like views of bright blue sky. They make me really happy.

While I haven’t been able to go out and snap a photo for this week’s theme, here are some of my favourite views of bright blue sky. I’m not sure if these will fit the theme well. If they don’t, please just enjoy the blue.

These random views were taken many years back, during a trip to the East Coast.

This was taken during a recent morning walk session with my dog.

Happy Hunting everyone!

OK I wasn’t supposed to post this business project thing here… but I just wanna post and ‘lure’ someone. You know who you are… kekeke.

Completed this last night, finally. Something that I’ve been dreaming about having in the line for a really long while.

Check out the post here.
