玫瑰花曲奇

這個曲奇食譜是看電視時看到的，方便得不能更方便，全部材料扔進食物處理機攪勻，用手滾圓就可入爐。我將食譜改了一點點，放入了之前從香港帶回來沖茶用的玫瑰花。玫瑰花的香味混和軟楬糖的味道形成了一種難以形容的口味，很新奇特別。食譜改寫自﹕Rachel Allen 材料﹕

麵粉……150克
粟粉……25克
牛油/植物牛油……125克(室溫放軟)
軟楬糖(light brown sugar)……50克
玫瑰花(去除花萼)……適量

做法﹕

焗爐預熱160C
將所有材料倒入食物處理機拌勻
用手將混合物滾圓成小球
用沾了水的叉子將圓球輕輕壓扁
放入焗爐焗15-30分鐘(視曲奇大小而定)
出爐置網架放涼

後話﹕ 沒有食物處理機的話，將所有材料置大碗中拌勻也是一樣的了

My Preparation for Christmas: Food

As I mentioned before, we do not need to prepare any food for Christmas as we go back to Wales for Christmas and New Year so we can just put our feet up. hehe. However, sine I have learnt how to make an iced fruit cake I have got into a habit of making fruit cake for christmas. Some of our good friends tried the fruit cake I made at the wedding said it was one of the best cake they ever had so I thought it would be nice to give some cakes away as christmas presents. I really pushed myself to the limit this year by making one 6-inch, one 4-inch and 4 little fruit cakes, batches of cookies and mince pies.

Looking at this picture may make you wonder that there is one cake short!! This is because the 6-inch cake I have made isn't a christmas cake but a birthday cake as Dylan's Dad's birthday is on 27th December. Dylan's mother always buys a cake for christmas so I now always make mine into a birthday cake.

The decoration on this cake is daffodil as it's an emblem of Wales. It was tough to do the flowers as I don't have the proper tools. I could only make them with my hands and a few toothpicks. My small hands came in handy! I was going to make some gingerbread men but I was running out of time so I went for an easier option: pressed cookies. I wanted to make it more festive so I used the christmas tree disc for the cookies. Somehow I was feeling adventrous and wanted to make the cookies green as they were supposed to be christmas. Having healthy eating in my head, I went for green tea powder rather than green food colouring. When I showed Dylan the cookie dough before I put them into the oven, he was so horrible. I asked him,"What do you think this is?" He said spontaneously,"Turd" Well, to be fair, it does a bit but he shouldn't have said that.(cry......) When I told my colleague, Julie, about this, she said he was one brave man to mess with me. The 4-inch cake has gone to Julie. They do look like Christmas Trees, don't they??

I didn't take pictures of the mince pies as I was in such a rush to get everything ready. I have to thank my friend Jessie here because without her sending me the cookie bags and pretty food wrappers I wouldn't be able to present all the homemade food beautifully.

Here is the hamper we put together for John and Roger (one each!) as we really appreciate them as friends, and also they did a brilliant job as photographers at our wedding which we can never thank enough.

With a little gift tag I did on computer:

Here's a hamper for Dylan's aunt, I really like that tin of biscuit from M&S because it looks so vintage:

方便快捷牛油曲奇

週末大龍獨個兒北上百明罕參加大學朋友搞的燒烤派對﹐我因為想在回香港前好好休息及準備一下﹐所以沒有前往。整個週末我就很寫意的碰碰這個做做那個﹕大致上做好了英國婚宴用的邀請卡﹐看看卡通片﹐看看電視﹐聽聽收音機﹐當然少不了做吃的﹗

較早前廚房的水龍頭壞了﹐包租公找了人來修﹐怎知道不能修要換一個新的。我卻萬萬想不到換個水龍頭工程是那麼龐大﹐大龍說他要把連接著洗碗槽的廚柜清空﹐洗衣機也要一併抬出。大龍從來都不能明白何解我能有本領把一大堆廚具食材全都放到那個小小的廚柜﹐所以那天回家我做要逐一把東西像做拼圖一樣放回廚柜裡。在這個過程中居然給我發現只用了一次給我遺忘了的曲奇槍﹐這次沒有把它放到最裡面﹐一定要再用﹐要不就是浪費呀﹐所以就用了曲奇槍做了牛油曲奇。 材料﹕
