Tiramisu

Well... I am actually on leave today, and that explains the multiple entries.... hehehhe

As always, whenever I am on leave, I crave for something unusual... and today, I am feeling Italian .... I am feeling Tiramisu (literally it means 'pick-me-up').

So off I went to my lil' office (read = kitchen) and start mixing ....


So, here goes...

250gm mascarpone cheese (be warned, mascarpone cheese will cost you about RM20 per tub!)
300 ml cream
2 eggs
75gm sugar
2 sachet instant coffee / cappucino / espresso (any coffee drinks will do) - mix with 2 cups of hot water
shaved chocolate or cocoa powder for topping
1 packet of savoiardi biscuits

To make the cream:
Beat eggs and sugar till thick (and the color becomes lighter).
Beat in mascarpone cheese till combined.
Fold in cream till all come together.

Slightly dip the biscuits in coffee mixture - biscuits absorb water REALLY fast, so make sure the 'dipping' is really short
Arrange one layer of biscuits, then pour the cream mixture on top (another layer).  Continue and make another layer of biscuits and cream till you fill up the pan.
(I used disposable plastic tupperware because I want to bring them to office tomorrow)
Finish the layer with cream and top it with shaved chocolate or sifted cocoa powder.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

Enjoy!

Hilang

hadirnya tak pernah diduga tidak juga diundang terus mancarik dan merobek koyak tak pernah sekali pun  dirawat dibiar bernanah sampai bila? sinar terik  yang bisa mencairkan  malam yang hitam pekat  yang bisa menyesatkan harus tidak mampu  menyuluh jalan pulang mungkinkah  ini telah dijanjikan seperti nukilan yang tiada penghujung seperti irama yang tiada noktah haruskah pasrah?

It was Nik's Birthday

It was my husband’s birthday yesterday and we took the day off to ‘merewang’ while feeling young, kononnya. The theme of the celebration? Reminiscing the days when we were courting back in 1993 minus the snow.... ancient sungguh rasanya! We had our breakfast at O’Brien’s early in the morning and took a slow stroll along the shops in OU and enjoyed every minute of it (at 10am in the morning, mind you, and the shops were barely opened). Later we watched ‘Lake House’ and we were charged RM12 only for 2 tickets (the early bird tickets were so damn cheap, I almost fainted!). There were only a few couples inside and we took the opportunity to sit right at the middle (ikut suka hati), since the theater was quite empty. How was the movie? Hmm… ok la, I would say it was the right movie for the occasion… hehe. A bit slow though, biasa la, romantic piece. The ending part was quite ‘touchy’ and yes, Mr Reeves was so stunningly handsome (oh yes, nampak tua sikit la and still got the looks). ...

The Day I Decided To Write Again

I've closed this door some years ago... and I thought I'd be closing it for good.  Even my last visit here was years ago.  Today I decided to open it up again.... and maybe I should start writing again.  So many things happened in the last few years, good and bad, happy and sad... now, I guess, is just the time to share some and to keep them here as memories. Welcome back to my space.
