Yesterday, i spent the time helping mummy to prepare food for the family x'mas gathering. Early in the morning, i accompanied her to Sheng Siong to buy grocerries. Started doing the fruit pudding dessert...
1. Cut fruits.
2. Make pudding.
3. Place cut fruits 'artistically'
5. Pour jelly layer over and refrigerate!
Then after dinner i baked banana cupcakes. The recipe included cream cheese but somehow the cheese taste wasn't that distinct la. I almost did everything myself because mummy kept wanting to rest and my sister was busy doing her stuffs. -.-
Final results!
As i was suppose to have supper with the usuals, i left the last batch for my sister to finish up by shoving her all the information like bake for 15mins, fill about half of the paper casing etc before rushing off to meet them at 126. Thought i was running late because i had a missed call, but i reached when they just reached too. Just nice! And the special thing was that it's the first time that Rachel joined us for supper!

Today morning i woke up to do the maple cream frosting for the banana cupcakes.
I piped the frosting and tried one. Super sweet lo. Damn! Sometimes really cannot follow the recipe blindly.
-.-
I tried salvaging it by reducing the amount of frosting on each cupcake. I guessed it work because at the end of the day, all was gone. So was the fruit dessert we made and the assam stingray fish mummy cooked. Heh.
This year's Christmas gathering hasn't got much atmosphere with so many people 'missing'. Still, i'm grateful for the family gathering because not every family gather together as much as us. And i always eat a lot because there's so much food and all the adults just keep asking you to eat what they cooked/baked/bought. Hahah. As usual, my sister and i would be playing with the young girl cousins who like to hang around with us. All more than 10 years younger than me. My my, i'm seriously oldddddd~
