Pesto and baking

Yes sometimes I do get bored and lonely watching Olympics, especially during the afternoon. So what I do is either eat (something, surprisingly, I'm doing very little. Which is BAAAD) or bake.

And for this week I've settled with baking and along the way, found out I made too much and pizza became our dinner too for that night. Oh and I made pizza from scratch!

The day before pizza baking, I made pesto.

I used it as a base for my pizza (the icky greenish tinge) and bro kinda hated it so for my second pizza I used tomato paste as the base. For that pizza (forgot to take a photo of that) my brother requested for second helpings heheh.

Eh but my pesto wasn't disgusting. Other than my brother (The da sao ye pfft), everyone else enjoyed it =D 

Had left over pesto so I mixed it with angel hair pasta and a handful of toasted pine nuts and it was yummy!

Yea it's green and looks bland but trust me it's yummy! But then again the next time I make it I would probably add some meat.

A refreshing change from the tomato sauce pasta and carbonara.

After making pizza dough, I find myself in the mood of kneading so the next day, with the left over yeast from  pizza making and 2 years old yeast found in the obscure corner of the fridge (lucky haven't expire haha), I made white bread!

Like a bread fresh from the oven in a bakery ;)

Really enjoyed kneading and punching the dough in the living room while watching Olympics XD And the process of making bread, waiting for the yeast to multiply and for it to rise really fills your house with the bakery smell. Hmm~

Homemade bread. Makes me feel like making homemade Nutella to eat with it.

On another note, Olympics is ending tonight T.T By tomorrow there will a hollowness in my heart that can only be filled 4 years later at the Rio Olympics.

Another leng lui I spotted at yesterday's High Jump finals =Q

How I became a barista and how it's like working as one.

It surprises me that people still don't know what does 'barista' means. Barista is defined as ' a person whose job involves preparing and serving different types of coffee'. I was working as one for 5 months and basically, I make coffee and serve it to customers. It's my longest job to date, providing me something legal to do and earning some pocket money during my wait (still waiting for at time of writing. 9 months and counting.) (I'm putting the word 'legal' in because I'm still feeling a bit bitter about the fact that some of my friends actually took the opportunity to do illegal locum. Hey ho, that's people to you.) After my final professional examination (which was in August 2015), I told myself to enjoy my holidays but as usual, I got bored and restless and found myself a job as a research assistant. But it wasn't a satisfying job because: 1. I have to travel all the way to PJ on weekdays. 2. Get stuck in the jam for a total

SOULed OUT

I'm gonna talk about FOOD again! My favourite blogging topic muahahaha. I have other passions too but there are all pretty... Scientific? Haha they will bore you to death. So yea, food is the best topic to blog about =) Especially here in Malaysia food connects us all. I've only met a person who doesn't enjoy eating (WHY!?). She is weird (You know who you are haha) First, a HUGE cup of coffee to awaken your senses. My daddy always order a kopi O whenever possible. I think he fancies himself as a Kopi O connoisseur haha =3 But I keep my distance from coffee. Coffee makes me jittery and anxious. Even drinking tea makes my heart go on overdrive grr. Mummy has been wanting to visit SOULed OUT since awhile ago but we just didn't get around to visiting the place, until today. SOULed OUT has two branches but we went to the one in Sri Hartamas. Took us quite some time (and a lot of help from iPhone's Maps application) but we manage to find the place. The location

Cool air

Because nothing beats naturally cool weather =) Was up in Cameron Highlands last weekend. And on the way up we realised: My bro has car sickness. That aside, it was a very uneventful trip. My dad thought me something too! Have you ever seen step-like slopes along the roads that are cut out from the mountains? Those are known as... Ba... Err, I forgot. But you know what it is. Apparently according to Malaysian regulations, they must not be more than 6 per slope and each step must not be more than 6 meters high. But that's not the case for most of the slopes. Please, those slopes are SO high you cannot possibly limit the steps to only 6! So, like most Malaysian rules, it can be altered to suit the case. You know, altered. Anyway, engineering is fascinating =) Especially about airports! And my dad loves them too. I suspect I'm very much like my dad. When he loves something he will babble on and on and on about it, usually to a person who will not be listening to him at all. Ki
