i am in LOVE with little red flowers!

Friday 29th May, i woke up with excitment as i hope to pull thru this project before giving birth and who knows little one may decide to come along after i finish this project! at 10+am i went down to fetch nesa. she had half day as it was founders day in IJ. had lunch with aunt k and nesa at kfc! last eaten kfc was at the party at our place. nesa head home with me and i showed her the projects i had on hand to try! she was excited! but too bad i forget to get plain flour if not we might have gone on to do another project! just before we got started on our work, the postman brought in the parcel i have been waiting for! The cream Wendy and i ordered arrived! yup more california baby cream to standby!

Still i was glad we made it to finish up with the one project we had on hand! nesa is great help in the kitchen and she is getting very good at following instructions and keen on learning! she is also becoming neater and more careful in handling the utensils and ingredients! we did the jelly cheesecake but this time i chose to do the strawberry flavour. i did it slightly different from the others... i didnt do the cute little fresh strawberry cut outs.

Instead i used my preserved italian strawberries! i chopped them small and threw it into the cheese mixture to blend. so the mixture had bits of strawberries and some were little bite size bits. then i did a 8x8 sq tin and made 3 smaller sqs for testing and for nesa to bring home. so i took out the little hearts sprinkles i had and neas put them onto cheese layer of the smaller sq tins.

somehow or rather i felt that this time i used less time to make comparison to the first try i did with dap, prob becos i freeze the base and the cheese layer! when i poured the jelly over the heart, the heart could hardly been seen! while waiting for the jelly to set using the bottom part of the fridge, to kill time, i watched dvd with nesa and she chosen Nanny McPhee. When the show ended, i asked her about her midyear results and got her to think how she can do better!

the red colour is so alluring! this time round i used exactly the amount of biscuits and i had a nicer and not too thick base! dun know if i should increase the height of the cheese! I used wild strawberry flavour for the jello and its has a tinge of sourness to it. but nesa and i find it refreshing! esp when its straight out of the fridge and eaten cold!

received a call from gx and he said i can join him at dinner with his collegues. so i didnt want to turn up without bringing some jelly cheesecake for them. I decided to try cutting them with my new cookie cutters! chose the little flower shaped and it was successful on my first cut! i personally find it small, cute and pretty! this little red flower with the heart in the middle was kept for my hubby! then with more confidence, i started to punch out 8 more for the dinner! As i punch these flowers out, nesa stood next to me helping me with the paper cups and she held her spoon to me once i scrape away the cakes that surrounds the cutter! she loved this dessert!

then of cos i punch one for this little cousin of mine who helped with a great deal in making this pretty red flowers! she went home with the other 2 little square tins and my aunt k loves it! asked us if it was easy to do and she didnt believe when nesa said it was easy peasy! Gave nesa her present and she liked it! funny thing was, aunt k bought this cupcake maker for Ly's bdae and in turn i got her daughter the same toy! Glad that nesa liked her present!

gx picked me up for dinner at Lor 8. his collegues were there to eat crabs... thou i can't eat crab, i really wanted company and i enjoyed the makan session! think they did like the cheesecake bah, of cos i didnt ask but as one of the collegues didnt eat milk products, when ask who wants the last piece, one of gx's collegue raised her hand and that gave me confidence that at least i know she like it cos she took seconds! had a very good meal tried new dishes at the restaurant and i am gog to order them next time i bring my families there! the tummy is still very tight. gog to gynae tomolo as i am alittle worried but little one still moves to let me know she is doing fine in there!
