Quiche Me!!!!

Felt lazy a week ago and made quiche.. this is my mixed meats and carrots quiche. My mistake was pouring the whole lot into an extra big pyrex container... it took double the time to cook but it tasted just as good with no burnt bits. Who wants the recipe?

Banana Cake .... The Easy Way........

First, melt the butter, sugar and vanilla essence.....
while the kids are taking turns mashing the bananas....
Then add the egg, flour and milk .... and stir........sehingga sebati.....Then pour into a greased baking tin (I used too large a tin) and bake it...Occasionally come back and enjoy the free smells...
And at the end of 40minutes.... voila (note to self.... -10deg C since using fan forced oven)... otherwise, the cake will crack if the oven's too hot.Nice and moist on the inside.....Yummy...

Caitlyn started drawing classes 2 months ago. She loves drawing, colouring and making cards for her "BFFs" so I enrolled Caitlyn in a class run by a well respected Chinese art teacher. After 2 weeks of assessments, he concluded that Caitlyn was gifted and all she needed was some guidance in her drawing technique. Having said that, Caitlyn has her days, on some days, she puts in more effort and on some days, when she doesn't like the subject chosen for her, she'll chinchai draw as you can see from some of the drawing pieces above. I'll just count my blessings cos heck, I can't even draw as well as she can on her worst day. Money well spent..... she loves it...

Wendy and Michael's 10th Wedding Anniversary Part Deux

The 12-course dinner menu was proudly presented on the table. The kids had their own menu too. There were shots of the wedding mass earlier held at Sts. John and Paul, Willetton. Here's one of me standing next to the Electone Organ, which I played for the mass. Will post the Church pictures later after I get my hands on them.... I turned gothic by accident.... you'll see later....
Adorning the walls of the restaurant....

Our table.. before the crabby mess....

The door gift, one for every family......
It was an engraved digital clock+pen holder.... perfect for my BIG study table (this one is another story to tell...) The kids went crazy with all these. I was quite worried that Bryan wouldn't eat a thing there, so I made a deal with him.... No eat, no orange juice. PERIOD. So he tucked in... with lots of the crispy parts of the deep fried wantans... and promptly put back the meaty parts back into the platter! Daddy had go to the rescue... Caitlyn loves the deep fried popiahs. Finally, his favourite arrived..... in the form of Kou Lou Yook or Sweet and Sour Pork. Oh my ang moh kia. THAT, he ate.... lots.
Our table consists of mainly the silais and their hubbies plus a bub who was too little too join the bigger kids. He was so cute in a white suit and bowtie.

The soup... I liked the goblet looking bowl it came in with.
