Tiramisu

**Mummy's rambling....**
I'm not really a big fan of cakes and chocolates,
But tiramisu is definitely one of the exceptions....
In fact I have only tried it once in Rome, Italy
The birthplace of tiramisu
and I fell in love with it instantly.....
The creamy rich texture infused with alcohol......
Aww.... you'll love it!!

It will definitely PICK YOU UP (that's the meaning of tiramisu!!),
even when you're feeling the blues.....

So Donny and myself set out to make ourself a Tiramisu!!
And you know what?!?!
It's delicious!!
 (which I only dared to proclaim after test tasting by several master tester!!!)

Asian Banana Cake & Pineapple Tarts

Being a devoted taoist,
Daddy usually have offerings of
apples, oranges, pineapples and bananas for the Gods....
on most of the 1st and 15th of the lunar month....

Many times, these fruits were given away,
as we cannot FINISH them ourselves....

But this time round,
Mummy made some really yummy treats from the fruits.....
Another of Mummy's 1st attempt:
Moist Asian Banana Cake with Pine Nuts

If you get to know mummy long enoff,
you"ll know that she is a pefectionist FREAK in tiny details....
Daddy commented that our pineapple tart's filling
(the ones we made in Alice jie jie's place)
has no OMPH!!
So, instead of the usual prepacked fillings,
Mummy made the pineapple fillings from scratch!!
It was worth all the effort, It really tasted BETTER....
Way BETTER!!
The only problem was....
Mummy SUCKS at cutting pineapple!!
She looks like she was wreslting with the pinapple!!
Let's hope practise makes perfect!!
