an intimidated baker

i have an inbuilt oven which i've never used.

i have a hot air turbo oven which my mom bought over 20 years ago and haven't used since then.

i have 3 cake mixers which were wedding presents, in other words ~ 'new'.

i bought a few ingredients if i ever wanted to bake something but somehow ... i haven't. i am so afraid of making something that would need to be baked.

i am so intimidated by this and i don't know why. i think i can do it. i want to bake but i freeze just by the thought of it.

i've always wanted to bake my own breads. since i don't know how to bake, i bought a bread maker and even that still remains in the box.

*sigh*

do i need help?



** i have baked before but it's always in my mom's kitchen. i have help & advice to depend on. at home, i've never done it alone. i think that's what i am afraid of, doing it alone.

coriander

~ seeds are called coriander
~ leaves are called cilantro @ chinese parsley (US), coriander (Asia)

i have to start learning to cook using the right measurements.

makan sendiri, campak2 je bahan2 takpelah. tapi kalau nak jamu orang ...

made baked macaroni tonight. i didn't want any rice for dinner.

it turned quite well to my satisfaction but mama pointed out that i need to get the ingredients right.

hmm...

i'll experiment again next time ... with measured ingredients.

i've just discovered Donna Hay & i'm in love with her! wooohooo!
