Wizzy! U baked it??
WOW! Super impressed!
Well done! Congrats!:s12::s12:

Wizzy is a very accomplished master baker but is just being very modest in his abilities. He doesn't need his maid to lift a finger apart from pinching new recipes so that he can use his wizardry to whip up those delicious breads

My peasant walnut and herbs bread.

I can't make pretty breads like eddy. :(

What??? I was drooling dangerously as I looked at the photo! It looks fantastically delish!

Scored a 6kg watermelon from sheng siong. I guess that's enough weight lifting for the week. Too bad I wasn't able to roll the melon down the walkway.

6kg! Good grief, I about broke my back just lugging the pumpkin home today. The watermelon would have killed me. LOL

As I was choosing my pumpkin, loads of ladies kept coming up to ask if it was really S$1.50 each or S$1.50/100g. Haha, no one could believe how cheap it was. I was terribly thrilled till I got home & our help said indifferently that in the Philippines, you would have gotten it for free.

I swear she takes joy out of taking the wind out of my sails! :s13:

Don't drool on your computer or it might start doing something weird. It's halloween after all.

It's time to grab a bread maker and you can a fresh loaf in no time :)

This is a good idea, I think.

Welcome home :)

kamsia, kamsia.

I got infraction because of this -
1st time at iHerb?
Use CouponCode:Get319 for $10 off!
:eek::(:o:s13:

I thought I would be safe by avoiding the other iHerb thread.
But there is no biz there and
the parking aunties need to issue tickets o/w cant meet quota.
:s13:

Anyway, I drove to Malacca last week on a Peranakan Foodie trip.
3 days & 2 nights, I went to 7 known & recommended food establishments.
Some had good dishes & some were just plain ugh...
The only saving grace is that their food is relatively cheap compared to SG.

Oh, I also went to 2 nonya food places in SG after that!
Altho I purchased Groupon coupons, the prices were still several times more expensive than those in Malacca. But it is well worth the money!
:):)

Ha, do not tempt me to add more kitchen stuff please! I am probably going to revisit the no knead artisan bread recipe again sometime next week. I just have to dig out that book again.:)

My computer is already possessed. I am totally useless with electronics. It seems anything that requires electricity will eventually declare war on me. Halloween not withstanding. Haha!
