Tweaking

Tweaked my blog a little! In fact, I changed my blog address......trying out my new name. I guess I am a traditional woman by heart. Although I truly love my Dad's surname (Ko), it is so unique as compared to hubby's (Lim). I am Mrs Lim or Halim now.

You can see that I also added a picture, descriptions and changed some fonts and colours, etc. I think the white background makes it nicer to read. After reading numerous other blogs, I always find the ones with white background fresh and easy to read.

RH is not going back to Sydney on Monday! Triple Hurray! Something about his customer not signing the contract yet thus he is not allowed to commence on his work.

Also, my bank account is somewhat fuller because RH was hit by a guilty pang and decided to give his wife some pocket money to spend as any husband should. Hee Hee! Good for me! Why does that not happen more often?

Made mini pecan pie and stained glass cookies last night! Am so tired! The stained glass cookies are really hard to make. They are suppose to look like this.

We were suppose to cut out the cookie doughs with a shaped hole in the middle, the place the crushed candy in the middle so that it melts and creates a stained glass effect.

First Try:

Candy melted beautifully but cookies were not cooked so we baked it a little (too much) longer and the candy and cookie both burnt.

Second Try:

We decided to bake the cookie first, take it out, add candy and bake again. We put too little candy thinking the reason why our candy overflowed in our first batch was because we added too much candy. Added more candy and burnt the batch.

Third Try:

We baked cookie first, took it out, added candy, baked, took it out, added more candy, baked, took it out, added a little more candy, baked and finally, it looked kinda decent.


Fourth Try:

Bake the cookie, took it out, added candy, baked, took it out, added candy, baked and burnt it cos my sis, SY, was chatting to my cousin when she was suppose to be on a look out for the cookies.
