Over the weekend, I finally got my ‘me’ time. Well, not exactly as I have not read even a single page of the book I wanted to read. Honestly, I didn’t know what to read first as I have so many on the list. The ‘me’ time included staying in the kitchen for almost six hours including the almost one hour I spend in taking photos. Gosh! It was really tiring. What did I do in the kitchen for almost six hours, you ask? I did two baking and one cooking, which I am bringing one of them for today’s FF. But I will talk about it later. I did prepare all the ingredients I need, washed and cleaned up after that. I think I really missed staying for hours in the kitchen so even I was feeling tired, I still cooked one meal after I ate my lunch and took a bath. The baking and cooking alone were so much fun. Preparing the ingredients including the slicing of the veggies? Not too much fun! And the cleaning up? Ahh! I wanna give up. If I could throw everything I used in a plastic bag and dumped them on a garbage can, I would. But hey! I wouldn’t do that. Of course, I won’t. That’s not a good idea. AT ALL. The ‘photo shoot’ took a long time, too. Because I was so tired by the time I took the photos, I didn’t have that much of patience to deal with the ‘reflector’ (which is actually a car sun-shade) falling on the floor repeatedly, and I didn’t have somebody to assist me. After taking photos and cleaning up my mess, that’s when I felt that my body (especially my hips and legs) was so painful. It’s like I’ve been in the gym for hours. I went to the bed to rest, finally. But after a couple of hours, I was up again and mopped the floor. Ugh! Can’t really sit for too long, huh? Overall, my weekend was great! I wonder what will happen this weekend. 😀 I hope I will have time to read a book. So let’s get down to business! I think I will be opening another short discussion for today’s FF as I had a little problem when I made this delicious cake. The only problem I had was the bottom and the sides were almost burnt. I am having the same problem every time I deal with whipped egg whites folded into the batter. Any idea how to avoid this? In any case, burnt or not, I enjoyed every bite. The cake was so soft (I bet it’s because of the egg whites) and so moist. The icing was so good. The ground almonds on top gave a light crunchy bite. So what are you waiting for FF people, go on and grab a slice or two, I won’t mind. 😀 Thank you, Angie, for this wonderful party! Thank you co-hosts for helping out Angie. And thank you party people for making this party rockin’. Enjoy FF #20. (New to Fiesta Friday? Click the image below for the guidelines.) What are you up to this weekend?
