The weather has been unrelenting of late. I have had cold showers in the past few days and they never felt better.

Here's another recipe to share. This is so easy to make and it tastes so good.

i realise that you should only use recipes as a rough guide. Everyone has a different palate and i've found myself modifying existing recipes to suit my own taste buds and satisfy my curiosity that the recipe is barely recognizable after that. All the same, cooking is so much fun, especially when you don't have to wash up after that. :)




Ingredients for Base:
-Butter, the less you use, the more crumbly is it.
-6 Digestive Biscuits
-Equal the amount of granola mix. almonds inside for added crunch

YUM!


Ingredients for Cream Cheese:
-1 Block of Philadelphia cream cheese
-4 tablespoons of cream
-half a jar of marmalade...200g? Or add more if you want a more succinct zesty flavour
-3 tablespoons of gelatin powder
-1 can of madarin oranges





Steps:
1. Crush biscuits and granola together till you get a fine crumbs. A blender will help immensely!
2. Heat butter till liquid and add in. You can pretty much tell when to stop because the crumbs will turn a darker brown and start getting more coagulated. I like mine with less butter so i stopped at about 60g of butter.
3. Pat and compress into a dish. You can make this into cubes or pie slices.
4. Leave in the fridge to harden for 1/2 an hour or longer

5. Cream cheese, cream and marmalade together. you should get a rich creamy texture.
6. melt gelatin 1/4 cup of boiling water. Make sure it's melted! And DO NOT boil the gelatin because it will kill the solidifying power of gelatin!
7.mix in with cream cheese filling

8. your crust should be hardened by now! Spread some marmalade over the top!
9. Pour in the cream cheese mixture and smoothen it out
10. garnish with well-drained canned mandarin oranges
11. leave to chill and serve!

This is soo yummy. the more cream you add, the lighter it tastes.








I KNOW THEY LOOK SO GOOD RIGHT! i love madarin oranges!


Char's BBQ at West Coast
omg the houseflies there have morphed into monster scavenger flies. i cannot emphasis how BIG AND JUICY each one of them were. the minute we took out the sausages to skewer they started to swarm around us like bees. It was scary.

Giant in the morning to get the ingredients. We got LIVE PRAWNS that we jumping all over the place and they were sooo delicious. Jil's home after that to marinate and murder the prawns.

yay! that night was so fun. met xwei's friends, char's friends and nic's friends and mingled. finished off the night with a plate of mee hoon goreng at the coffee shop opposite which i think has become a habit. Kept asking the girls if they were hungry and everybody wasn't! :( wednesday nights are not complete without meehoon goreng + 1 egg! lucky nic was there to eat with me and hang out with me while all the girls were bustedddddddd. ANYHOW, alcohol kills your liver. stay healthy and dont drink like me :D


I want to go to Japan already. i hope the next week passes as fast.
