a few thoughts and a slice of cake

a few thoughts a slice of cake

after several little mishaps and trips... our trip is finalised! *cheers*. all thanks to er-yi who went all the way to look for available spaces for us at a lot of tour agencies i presume. So ladies and gentlemen... i'll be off to spain and portugal from the 18th Dec to the 1st Jan! which in fact means tt i'll not be missing my bdae here in Singapore. haha. (initially thought tt i was though, tt wld have spared me certain headaches. oh well, tts another story.) So, yesh! it will be a long get away to the lovely countries of spain and portugal before the horrors of IA unleashes itself upon the pitiful students.

i knoe its very random... but just to depict the violent behaviour of my bunny.

Someone call a doctor!!!

oh yesh, i forgot to mention tt the round-up of the previous event tt i took part in Cupcake Hero is finally published. So do go take a look at the link! looking forward to more quirky themes next month! bring it on! just found out that the new theme for this month is Cloves! how quirky! spices turn me on! *giggles*

last but not least, admist the random nature of the whole post. There's a nectarine crumble cake in the oven for no reason watsoever. Perhaps its just for comfort purposes or perhaps to use up the nectarines tt i bought about a week ago. In celebration of the season of stone fruit, i searched high and low for a simple recipe, one tt wld not only compliment but accentuate the flavors of the soft and juicy nectarine. and lo and behold, i found one or rather constructed one with the aid of several recipes.
Since stone fruits are in season now, i shall take the pleasure of introducing the nectarine to the lesser knowing tropical climate population. Nectarines are a group of peaches that has smooth fuzzless skin. Kinda reminds me of plums though which purely explains why nectarines are erroneously believed to be a crossbreed btw peaches and plums. Their flesh is generally moister, sweeter, and more easily bruised than peaches, although many peaches are identical in all aspects to nectarines except for the skin. So basically we're dealing with a 'peach in plum skin'. Now tts classy. (think 'wolf in sheep clothing).. *sniggers*
Thinking to myself, since the nectarine on its own was so beautiful and delicious, nothing compliments it better than a moist cake with buttery scented crumble strewned over the top of perfectly arranged nectarine slices... heartwarming goodness. voila... i present to u the nectarine crumble cake, a.k.a 'peach in plum skin' cake.

thank godness mummy loved the cake. Sometimes i wonder who wld eat my cakes if she weren't there? *sigh*

now i await the glorius arrival of dawn...
