Too much cooking...

A day spent cooking. Hah! I woke up early as usual then around 10 AM we hobbled off to Clayton for our weekly dose of shopping. Bought lots of goodies (food of couse - oh and a new pair of purple gloves at the $2 shop ~ and a muffin tray) and stuff then went home for pancakes! Yep, two bottles of buttlemilk pancake mix was used! One bottled was full of chocolate chips. I really enjoyed the camp ones. Nom nom nom. The 5 of us (Mei Xian was missing unfortunately) ate almost everything (there was a couple of pancakes leftover which I saved for a future lunch). Then I sat around doing nothing while drinking Big M.

At 3:00 PM, I decided to begin cooking dinner for tonight. I was gonna make ravioli from scratch, as well as Lemon Meringue Pie! Okay, this was a disaster. First of all, making the dough for the ravioli takes no ingrediants (like 4 things) but like... it took all of Jia Chee's strength to roll everything out. @.@ The filling was good though (mushroom + mascaporne cheese). For the pie, I used my muffin trays to make 6 mini tarts. I burnt them again as we forgot that they were in the oven once again but they were still cute. Hehe. The meringue required me using my new mixer, and Joanne standing there for 15 minutes attempting to make the egg white all fluffy. The lemon filling had Yi Xin squeezing lemons for me as well as random odd things I threw in. It was sour! Haha, well too sour for me. Since I can't handle sour foods. Anyway, the results were pretty cute for the lemon meringue pie (although too sour for me, I think I shall stick to my chocolate desserts).

The ravioli... no no no. Jia Chee, Mei Xian and Yi Xin sat there for houuuurs rolling the ravioli up. Hourrsss! And there wasn't even that much ravioli. Like, we had enough for the 6 of us, and we WERE rather full eating it but... not worth the time. I didn't think the food tasted any better then packaged ravioli. Gah. Dinner was at 8 PM so from 3 PM - 8 PM we were cooking. Bleh.

Night was spent chatting and doing nothing in particular. So much for studying, lol.
