Life’s Like This

I bake this simple but superbly delicious home made banana cake just now. I ve tried the steam version a couple of times, but this time, baked version. This is one way of not just letting tonnes of bananas we brought back from my hubby’s hometown over the CNY holidays, into the bin. (yaa.. still have some more, should think of pengat pisang, lempeng pisang, or simply cekodok tomorrow)

Let me share the recipe which was given to me by one of my in law’s close friend.

Kek Pisang

Bahan-bahan

8 biji pisang emas/pisang kapas
1 1/2 cawan tepung gandum
1 cawan gula halus
3 biji telur
1/2 cawan minyak masak
2 sudu teh soda bikarbonat
2 sudu teh serbuk penaik
1 sudu teh esen vanilla

Cara-cara

1. Pukul gula dan telur sehingga kembang.
2. Masukkan minyak masak, esen vanilla, pisang yang telah dilecek.
3. Masukkan tepung gandum, soda bikarbonat dan serbuk penaik yang yelah di ayak
terlebih dahulu.
3. Gaul sebati dan selama 25 minit pada suhu 180degC.

*Nota : - Ini adalah separuh daripada sukatan asal resipi ini (semua bahan2
telah dibahagi dua kecuali soda bikarbonat dan serbuk penaik)

The motif that i stitched, later finished into a cute biscornu. This piece is stitched using Anchor multicolor floss #13xx, on a 14 count Aida. Biscornu is an eight sided small pincushion. Size : 2" x 2" x 1" thick.

I m going to construct another biscornu for my stitching group exchange programme. To those who are interested try here is the tutorial link :

Akmar : I think i m gonna stick to my words. But i m still flipping back and forth my charts and XStich mags for the right design. Still cant decide. Any preferences? Quick, coz i m approaching my dateline *wink*.

Phewww.. it has been quite some time since i last blogged. Aug ‘06-Feb ‘07. Time really did fly fast.

• Yusuf Fahim, the center of all my attention now is 9 months, 1 week and 5 days todate. Weight 10 kg. Has started eating solid food. Has learnt to stand by himself, hopefully soon to take his first wobbly unassisted steps.
• My hubby, still has the same attention *LOL, i see him enjoying himself raising our first child, more tolerate which i m grateful for. Love to see u happy, dear.
• My work, has been hectic. Many new jobs to be tendered out and some on going construction to be monitored, demand my mental as well as my physical strength. I see there are more coming.. Well, it is good for the business anyway.
• My hobby, cross stiching, which is more home based rather than outdoor activities which i used to love, surprisingly is such a good theraphy ( and surprisingly an expensive hobby, with all the imported stashing.. huh.. )from all the daily stresses. For a good new year start, managed to complete a local stitching group exchange programme.
• Myself , turned 29 on Jan, 21st. Still unable to get my ideal weight back, with half of my closet no longer wearable to me. Help!

That’s for now. Hope to see myself blogging more often. At least for my own record.
