Bake, eat & play

Wai2 has kindly invited me to her house for baking session! We have decided to make cookies, but I'm not sure what, so I just brought along some baking chocolate! In the end, we didn't make use of it but we ended up with some pretty decent cookies - 3 flavours. Sesame, Tea with jam and finally my favourite Oatmeal chocolate (cocoa).

It was fun and pretty quick. I think she has done it many times, so it was just a quick repetition for her. It was moulding the cartoon character faces onto the cookies that was a bit tricky (she hasn't done it too), but we managed to do that after a few different trials and errors. We had to freeze the dough before, so it makes it difficult, but without it gets too soft and sticky. So here's a peep at our end results!! I have shared them at home and will want to share some with my colleagues tomorrow:)))

I made Flapjacks (maple syrup, oats, raisins, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, desiccated coconut, etc) the other weekend and loved it, unfortunately it took a while to cool down before I could take them out in whole (cut pieces), ended up all in my friend's stomach now!! But I will want to do that again!!

After the baking, Wai2 cooked us (the husband, me and BS) dinner - Japanese-style pancake (with seafood and one with additional pork). It was delicious, must be also due to the authentic Japanese ingredients!!! The seafood one was superb, had quite a bit and feeling really full. Alex, her hubby, also made us a banana, sesame and soya milk smoothie, which was awesome. I have been having too many smoothies... I'm ADDICTED!!!!!!!! Last week, I had the raspberries, blueberries with honey yoghurt!!!! Some weeks before I had banana oats smoothie. Okay, I'm going to make you guys drool at our dinner!!

We ended up burning all the calories playing Wii, which was hilarious... those movements we made with the controllers!! It did make us sweat, not sure if that was the weather or really those arm-swinging exercise!! I think we will do it again, that Monkey game has kept us very entertained.... I was winning at the hurdle game till BS decided to challenge against me and I practically lost all my energy by the end of the night... LOL. Good fun!
