I've been busy this week sorting out some recipes from my cook books for some recipes of cakes and muffins/cupcakes. I must admit I still have a lot to learn when it comes to baking. Last night I tried to make lemon muffins out of real lemon and joghurt. The recipe was really good but the result was a bit .. hmmm weird tasting, a bit gummy like. Oh well, I tried a chocolate cake recipe from a mom at work.. that turned out pretty well, in fact I brought it to work and my colleague brought the rest home. I don't know if they were just being polite but they said it was yummy - a bit heavy though. It's really chocolate, chocolate cake - you can probably imagine it. By the way if you have any good and tested recipe, why not email me some? I'll be happy to have them-
You might be wondering, what's with the baking? I know I'm excited about my new high tech oven but that's just not the reason. We have a big fund raising event at church on Sunday and we are supporting one of our friends who's going as a missionary to Lebanon. We plan to sell those cakes and sweets after the service and raise some funds for her first month there. Missionaries don't get any salary and even have to raise their own living allowance through donation from friends, church or their own hard earned savings. Interesting right? There are different kinds of missionaries, there are those who do medical missions,accounting work, technical jobs and so on and so forth. Our friend would most likely work in a school or clinic for children with special needs. She is an occupational therapist. This will sort of be her cover while living there.
By the way, in case you have read my post about the surprise party I was organizing for a dear friend, well it turned really well. I really enjoyed organizing the party. I would love to do one again next time.
