spontaneous chiffon with chocolate filling

三號風球的晚上, 心血來潮想焗蛋糕, 找來之前心血來潮買下的杯子蛋糕食譜, 我很喜歡封面那些好看但未必好吃的小蛋糕, 某一天可能又會心血來潮"生"下它們。
這個雪芳蛋糕做法材料都十分簡單, 簡單到我按捺不住加了點綴- 之古力夾心。所以平平凡凡的外表下其實是隱藏著一片黑心的~

[食譜來源: 我(愛)杯子蛋糕+陳碧姬搞花臣]
材料:
蛋黃 2個+砂糖 25g 沙拉油 35g 常溫水 35ml 低粉 45g 泡打粉 半小匙
蛋白 2個+砂糖 30g 之古力碎適量

做法:
1. 蛋黃+砂糖攪拌混合好
2. 逐少加入沙拉油, 每次都充分混合好, 再加入常溫水攪拌
3. 加入過篩後的低粉和泡打粉混合
4. 在另一個大碗中發蛋白至變白後分兩次加入砂糖, 繼續打發到能拉出挺立的尖角為止 (大約七成企身)
5. 取少量蛋白霜加入3中, 用橡皮刀輕力攪拌, 將餘下的蛋白霜加入, 輕力攪拌至沒有白色為止
6. 倒入紙杯仔至三分一滿時, 加入少量之古力碎, 再倒至八成滿 (太滿會有嘔吐物), 以180度焗20分鐘左右 (因為家中焗爐太火爆, 我用了160度焗15分鐘已經ok了), 取出後立刻倒扣至涼
*之古力碎會被焗熔, 變成夾心

Best description to Mr Nuisance

ostentatious
[from Cambridge Dictionary]
adjective DISAPPROVING
too obviously showing your money, possessions or power, in an attempt to make other people notice and admire you:
e.g. They criticized the ostentatious lifestyle of their leaders.

父親節快樂

親愛的陳爸爸:

喂好久沒見了, 我知道您在天家一定過得很快樂!
現在毛線在重播您最愛的陀槍師姐, 您一定會大罵"做左幾十次仲做", 然後間中又會走過來望望。
最近我買了個小小的魚眼鏡, 您一定會話我浪費金錢做傻事, 然後又會瞪大眼擺好甫士等我影張大頭照, 就像您個孫一樣。
還有, 雖然我已沒有長高, 但我依然是您的傻仔。
請跟我向天父問好, 您們兩位都父親節快樂!!

Pay Love Forward


"Save my life"
Perhaps he's just too ideal. But who on earth says being ideal is impossible?
The pureness in children is the most valuable asset- they are the only ones who see the goodness of human and strive to preserve it. That's why God wants us to learn to be kids.
Trevor (starred Haley Joel Osment) was inspired by the social studies assignment-"Think of an idea to change our world-and put it into action!". Like any other kids at 11, he was discouraged by apparent failures. But unlike other kids, he endeavored to take away the crap from the world.
What's crap in the world? War, assassinations, genocide, deceit, to name JUST A FEW.
Can't people just focus on spreading love to everyone? Let love save our world.
I has been receiving a number of forward emails. Some threatened me to pass it on to 10 people or else I will die (all of a sudden, huh?), while some really resemble the pay it forward.
Perhaps we should put it into action: repaying somebody's favor by doing good to other people. (Trevor proposed three)That's somehow like why God sent Jesus to die for us.
This could be a simple but difficult task-simple in mind but difficult in action.
Trevor simply thought his idea might change the world, but he found it difficult to save his friend from the bullies. He isn't a loser because he tried to do so at last. And he splendidly fixed many people. Life should be beautiful as his.
Let's learn to be a kid like him.

"我終於自由了"

今天暫時告別data entry的工作, 走到灣仔看放監
雖說是為了公共衛生著想, 但是被困在同一個地方七天之久真是有點痛苦, 難怪吸引中外過(三)百記者來見證他們完成這項任務。
軒尼詩道早就傳來中旅社的吶喊聲(此舉有點over左), 八點左右酒店內的工作人員開始拆白布(由此至終都不知為什麼要蓋白布, 明明住客每天都從白布伸個頭出來跟傳媒打招呼), 接著酒店內的住客和酒店外的cam man好像打仗一樣互影, 實在太誇張了...
有兩名英國人在酒店外等候她們的朋友, 還特意去印了tshirt戴豬鼻來慶祝(諷刺意味較多)...

到他們真的重獲自由, 就是我們發癲之時...旅客趕著去shopping或離開這個地方可以理解, 但是真的要追到人都癲才聽到他們的反應, 我追完一對上海母子後差點兒迷路(請記住我是路痴), 但是他們的"心聲"十居其九都是正面得不正常 (不計激動跪地南韓人), 實在令人懷疑。

跑完都已經十點多, 幸好同事和她可愛的hubby陪我食飯, 不然我應該會山根同學上身。

這兩星期, 一個流感令整個世界緊張起來, 也令香港的維景變了景點, 不過還是請自動消失吧...好煩呀你臭病毒!!

in Memory of the Heavenly Voice

數年前開始再沉迷看台劇, 是由《薔薇之戀》開始, 這套劇讓我認識了這位歌手-阿桑。

聽《葉子》的第一個反應, 是「為什麼這個人唱得那麼慘?」她的聲線真的悽美得不得了, 難怪公司替她取名「阿桑」。那時不斷聽她的歌, 直到現在mp3裡還有好幾首耳熟能詳的。

在我那段瀕死的日子裡, 我也是聽著阿桑的歌, 甚至望著《葉子》的mv哭得崩塌。我從未認真記住阿桑的樣子, 但上天賜她獨特的聲線, 讓她可以簡簡單單的到處吸引聽眾。

她走了三十四年就停下來, 走得很安靜--

「快樂的事很容易分享的 而難過的事 需要的是時間的幫忙」

這是節錄自阿桑的blog, 不好的事她都自己一個扛, 這種做法是好是壞我不知道, 但我欣賞悄悄走了的她愛她家人朋友的心, 報導說阿桑並非如名字般哀怨, 反而很開朗, 我想也是--

「是我來了 我好了 清醒了 出現了 快樂了 能見人了 但是..............................再等我幾天! 我知道的」

阿桑的離開就像許瑋倫那樣, 留下淡淡的愁。

也許, 天籟應該留在天國。


《葉子》

知道她離世後, 我腦內不斷迴響著《寂寞在唱歌》, 好好的欣賞阿桑的live吧
