BAKING..!!!

If your thinking that this is inspired by JULIE & JULIA and i'm suddenly starting a countdown in an attempt to complete all the recipes from the book "MASTERING THE ART OF FRENCH COOKING" then i'm sorry to disappoint you people... this was just a one time fun attempt.. hehe

So D,N and i decided we wanted to bake a cake and learn how to make the cheesecake that N makes...its finger licking good... hehe.... well this was actually suppose to happen yesterday but then i kinda got busy... so when D was dropping me home today we suddenly decided to actually finish the task we had set for ourselves.. and after writing the Spanish test (which i might add was pretty simple but a test all the same.. hehe), we needed something to refresh us.. so we got all the ingredients and then picked N up again and reached my place... my place because i have the oven... so we take out all the ingredients and N asks me where the fresh cream is... see thats why people write down the grocery list because you tend to forget things... so we go back and get the cream... now we have everything ...phew!!!!! lets begin...

We decided to put the cake for baking and in the mean while we can make the cheesecake because it just need refrigeration... so the batter is ready... i oven is preheated at 180 C... and then WHOOOOSH... the electricity is gone.... the is an f*****g power cut... if i look at the positive side, its good it happened before we put the cake to bake otherwise our cake would've gotten spoilt....on the bad side , how in the bloody hell are we suppose to bake without an oven... ???? .. well there wasn't much to be done so we just left the batter in the mold...

We proceeded on to the cheesecake thinking okay here we require no electronic items... and thats when N says but we need to puree the fruit and crush the biscuits in the grinding machine... we looked at each others faces...!!!

i asked N, "how the hell did people cook when there were no grinder??

N said," there were no cheesecakes then... " hahahaha....

Anyway we weren't giving up soo soon... N sat with the mortar and pestle and crushed the biscuits with hand while i pureed the mango with hand by squeezin the shit out of it... hehehe... back to the old means... and we realized okay we are not that dependent on the machines but all this that took us half hour would have gotten over with in 15 mins with a grinder and some electricity... hehe

So right now the Cheesecake is siting in the fridge cooling and the cake batter is still waiting for the power to come back on... i just hope i don't eat away the raw batter.. its kinda yummy... :D

and Laptop battery also dying so thats it for now... :)

ADIOS...:)
