And during that time I hadn't found a job yet, so basically what I did was homemaking *ehm* and baked baked baked. This is a really really easy recipe to make that can blow your mind away after you taste it. Give me a holler if you want a recipe :)
Chocolate log cake
I know I know... Christmas is still half a year to go!! But I'm just posting some of the *pretty* stuffs I baked before. Heehee. This is my first log cake, btw, which I made just out of curiosity during December last year. Not many of you might have known this, but at the end of the year, it gets very chilly here in Bangkok. The lowest the temperature has ever dropped to, I think is 15 Celcius? or 18... about there. ;)

Chocolate chip bacon cookies. That just spelt heaven, no? For first timer, you might hesitate to try this, but trust me, once you get the hang of it, you or your pals are just gonna beg for more! Drop me a comment or two if you'd like me to share recipes here too. It's not that I don't want to, but it will take time for me to dig it out from my pastry journals. But if any of you are interested, I'll get them posted here ASAP. :)
Girls, if you're having a crush on the guy next door and you know that he's a foodie, this will rock his boat out completely! Aye aye aye...
P.S.: Pardon me if you see me posting too much bacon in the future. Please raise a hand to tell me to stop, if necessary.

Bacon Cheddar Spinach Muffin

muffin
The only day of the week I could make a better quality morning is Saturday. That's when I don't have to apply any discipline into my life and can spend my time up to my heart's content. And you know what calls for a good quality morning? A muffin morning! Yay. Not the morning typical chocolate or banana or whathaveyou muffins. Bacon Cheddar Spinach muffin! Something you can't find at any cafe shop, how about that.
Another inspiring pastry chef inspired me to make this on one of her blog entries. Et voila.... :) You should totally make this. Better day promised.

Bread and Butter pudding!

pudding
Like a blanket during a chilly Saturday afternoon, that's what bread and butter pudding treats me like. Always very comforting to eat. The very first time I made it was with my ex-housemate while still living in Singapore. We got the recipe from Jamie Oliver's website, totally worth a try. I'd prefer it with lots and lots of cinnamon powder, OR rum and raisin. (picture courtesy: ex housemate) ;p
intro!
|
It isn't polite to start without an introduction, is it? So hi. I am Jeanette, Mary Jeanette H*** is my full name. I have spent the last hour searching for a good representative picture of myself but I can't seem to find one. On my Facebook album apparently all I have are funny shots of mine, which is not too... useful? So I'll share that much later on okay.
Rather than going through the normal introduction sequence, why not let me go through quickly 10 most noticeable things about me? :)
1. I used to hate going into the kitchen. But as soon as I started college overseas, it changed. It all started with my longing for home cooked food.
2. I was born in Indonesia, studied in Malaysia, worked in Singapore and now working in Thailand.
3. I gave up my Advertising career to be a junior Pastry Chef in Singapore last year. But it lasted for only 6 months cos I got to move to Bangkok. No regret. I love Bangkok life more though it means I have to start all over again seeking a job in Pastry.
4. The love of baking started 3 years ago after I bought my very own oven using my first paycheck.
5. When was the turning point that I decided Pastry is where I want to be in? I guess it's like finding Mr. Right kind of feeling in your life. It just happened without reason and without you knowing it. I just... like it. I love eating it, I love looking at it.
6. My dream(s)? I want to see Paris with my own eyes, I want to have my own magical pastry shop.
7. I got a scholarship into The French Culinary Institute couple of weeks ago but I had to give it up due to some reasons...
8. Pastry chef that I'd really love to get to know? Pierre Hermé.
9. My 10 favorite pastries? Macarons, eclairs, strawberry shortcake, quiche, crepe suzette, sticky date pudding, creme brulee, panna cotta, plaisir sucre and... pa-ram-pam! waffle! heeheehee.
10. So what are you doing here? This is the place where I'm gonna be recording my pastry adventure. It's about time I get a start, I think.
Much love,
Mary Jean.
