baking misadventures

ok so of course staying back in school for spring break means food must DIY le.. so we decided to do some baking today after getting a great haul of baking products..

lemme juz say im an absolute noob at cooking and general kitchen stuff cos obviously i was not very bothered to enter the kitchen at home and help *oopz.. and aniwez we had no oven in sg, so no thought of baking and stuff

but aniwez thanks to sheryl and gq, err.. most of the stuff was bought so i just leeched off and tried to bake brownies using instant-mix, which gq called "brownie gameshark" -_- and which sheryl said was "cheapskate"

geez. such friends i have.

well who cares. common knowledge dictates that one should start from easy and work your way up. plus im not as perfectionist as mr gq and as meticulous as him so yeah.. just try try first time.

ok. so obviously u would have gathered that.. er.. i screwed up. i did everything according to instruction EXCEPT that err.. i poured the mix into a much bigger pan than expected and baked it for too long a time.

cry man... when take out it was still looking fine, just charred a bit at the sides. then came the horror as i started cutting it and the brownie started hardening and started to resemble blocks of cookies. *faintz

yah.. so i was very very sad. instant-mix i thought = idiot-proof. so i must be.. sigh.. worse than an idiot. lol. jialat man.. then jo and others tried to console me by saying it was pretty nice and so on.. lol.. haiz.. nothing to say la.. i think err.. i needa AAR and try my hand and cooking/baking at a later time le.. lol
