cookies.. i made them woot woot..

Cookiesss !! i made them.. not bad for a first timer who has never made cookies b4.
butter ones.. they dont look that good cos i dont have those cookie molds.
i just picked the simplest cookie recipe from the web adn then i tried it.
smells good i guess. i used unrefined sugar ( healthier :P )
feels weird.. cos when i baked them after 20 mins.. i took a fork and poked them they were still soft .. so i panicked.. i've never done cookies which were soft b4.. anyways, since that's the case i took them out. put them to cool . then i tasted them b4 i put the rest in. hmmm seems good also.. cos it hardens after cooling.. woot woot.. :P

1 slab of butter 250g + some sugar.. no weighing scale and some essence of vanilla plus self raising flour.. ( leftovers , i needed to clear them out. :P and some pastry flour have to finish it mah)
mix mix mix.. then it seemed a little weird or wet i mean so i put more flour lor.. but then it came out alright.
total cost : i think butter was 53p, sugar 1/4 of £1, flour was 1/5 of 28p, essence was dunno la..
then grand total i think about £1.
very little la then time taken was about 1 1/2 hours to bake about 73 pieces of misshapen cookies. :P that means i don't have to buy cookies anymore.. i can make all the cookies i want !!! wooo hoooo
now i wanna try those delicious jam tarts my uncle + aunt makes during chinese new year.. though i think he makes them all year round.

oh yeah, dinner was curry + long ( short ) beans + carrots + eggs and rice. of course and some cookies !! muahahhahaa

[Edit]

and secondly i have a new tool for recipes. currently it has about 4k recipes.. but stills need some work. searches by ingredients or recipename.

Mr. Kipling's Battenberg Cake. looks nice..

hmmm been so busy on friday forgot to update. will post 2 post to console myself today. to the cake. cake looks cute. but tastes horrible. maybe it was because i bought it cheap from sainsbury . it's original price was £1.29. but i bought it for 49p. cheap as i was. maybe that's the reason the cake tasted bad.. but the expiry wasnt till anohter 2 days time. :P anyways, it tasted like smelled like cough syrup. u know those red coloured ones. tasted okays. the outer layer is just icing erm or rather sugar.. no ideas waht that was but it was SWEET. then inside, just like the normal sponge cake. all in all.. i wouldnt buy it ever again. :P here are the pics.

my boring weekend

i went to camden on sat and almost got rammed by a stupid green car on the way back. anyways, i was bored. and it was a nice day. don't know anything bout tour de france, or wimbledon. took my bike out. and cycled down towards camden. it was a change from cycling to work. i spent £7 in sainsburys cos they were having a half price sale on john west's tuna in cans. the usual price is about £3.19. bought some stuffs.. ( coulnd't buy a lot cos i don't wanna ride home on a punctured bike) but i bought too many as well. i bought jaffa biscuit for 69p. for 24 pieces. finished it b4 sat was over. took some photos on the way. went into o2 to see if i could get any nice phones for free. turned out that i couldn't because i havent paid any phone bills since last year. looks like i'm gonna hvae to switch my sim card to a pay as you go thingy. then i went to the outdoor emporium to take a look at the karrimor travelpack. i dunno why .. that one seems to call out to me other
