where are all the clean spoons?

ERROR. error. i never knew so many things could go wrong in one day. went to fen's today. nat was there, and then wengyee came. basically it was to try out our culinary thing. ONE word. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

okay. so first we had to make a sponge cake because you can't bloody find a flan case anywhere in this godforsaken country. for the baked alaska which seemed like extremely simple. well looks can be deceiving. anyway, then we were going to make mousse and meringues. all at the same time since you know we're multitaskers. starting with the spongecake. well big mess and then fen forgot to preheat the oven so then we decided to start on the mousse. nat was just there to like take pictures and wash things. she likes to wash things... yeah.

anyway, so then we went looking for a pot to make the mousse. lalalalala. and then fen was all, "mummy how do you turn on the gas?" which nat got on video. hilarious. made the mousse. which we thought was too fluid so wengyee thought it was genius to put in half of the FISH gelatin. yes we respect the halalness of things. okay that being settled, we left it to 'simmer' over no low heat. well we didn't want to chocolate to burn and the pot was hot enough.

then we decided to make the base before baking the sponge cake. digestives rock. and fen was looking around for a 'pounder' which wengyee and I found out later to be a pestle and mortar. and whilst she was busy doing that, wengyee and I decided to go ahead and crush the digestives with our hands. and then fen came up and said, "WOW, i never realised you could do that! It's so much easier!" you know how excited guifen gets. haha. baked cake. lalalalala.

meringue time. haha. egg separators do not work. it was kinda funny. i was like, *breaks egg* "aha it works. oh wait.. arghhh. the yolks going to break into the container. aaaargh. nat, wengyee, what do we dooo?? FEN, get a bowl!! *panicpanic* oh phew. *yolk breaks* oh bugger." happens a couple more times. and they blame me for the failure of the meringues. sigh. i swear it's the bloody egg separator which fen thought was SO COOL.

went to stir the stupid watery mousse and left fen, wengyee and nat to the meringues. finally it got thicker. and then we put it into 2 gourmet pie dishes because we can't like freeze glass. and we tried to make chocolate patterns by flicking the chocolate onto grease paper. into the fridge they goooo..

now here's the disaster. sponge cake came out really awsome looking. cut, oh goodness, we have just accidentally made eggtart. tasted good though. then there was extra 'mousse' and so they decided to make 'fondue' and it was like really good and all until we got to the bottom where all the gelatin hadn't dissolved. then fen had a genius idea to put the digestive crumbs into the gelatin. turned out to be some sick looking variation of ferrero rocher. i really can't be bothered to tell you more about the crazy antics of us 4 moooozart cows. (inside joke.)

and our 'mousse' turned out like chocolate jelly. i didn't like it too much but nat, fen and wengyee said it was nice. maybe it's just cause i'm not much of a chocolate person. elles aiment le chocolat. meringues were beyond screwed so yeah. messed around with them. haha. that was hilarious. fen's neighbour came round. her name was melissa i think. she must thing we are really weird people.

wengyee went home and then fen; being the AMAZING host that she is left with melissa to play basketball. nat and I watched the oscars. and screwed around with fen's blog. haha. that was funny. check it out. clickity click.

twas entertaining. overall a funny day.

still got lots of work to do. unfortunately. oh and sai. you should type sai instead of shienyin. no excuses. *grin* next post will be pictures. hope internet isn't so laggy today.

trixie,
