Be Creative in Making Bread

Date:  May 22, 2015

My wife is in US this week.

So, making bread is one of my task this week.

She has premixed all the flour and ingredients for me to make normal boring white bread every day.

You know me, I am adventurer, and I like to try new things.

Thanks to my domestic helper who usually sleep later than me (I slept around 9pm, she slept around 11pm).  She helped me to place the bread mix into the Bread machine every night, with I giving her what to mix with it.  HaHaHaHa...

1.  Milo Chocolate Bread

One of the day, the bread come up “chocolate” coloured.

Because I place a pack of these into the bread mix.  HaHaHa… Milo drink mix.

I also put in some baking chocolate.  Unfortunately, all the chocolate chips seems to be melted into the bread.

The bread smell like Milo.

The bread is sweet with Milo taste.

So, I put in ham, avocado, lettuce and butter & cheese.  This is my breakfast. 

Kay Kay says the bread is delicious.  He usually eat the bread with honey and strawberry jam.

2.  Yuzu & Seaweed Bread

Can you see the seaweed on it?

We put 4 packets into it.  These are some of the junk food lying there for ages. Cut these seaweed into small pieces.

I opened my drink drawer.  I found these.  So, I asked my helper to put two packet of these in.  Yuzu Tea.

color of the bread.

I taste the bread plain, and it has the Yuzu fragrance with a bit bitter taste.  And then, there is this spicy hint.  I believe the slight spicy taste comes from the sesame seaweed.  

Jay has no problem eating this.  As usual, I put lettuce, mayo tuna and butter and cheese.

It is nice.  

Kay Kay says “The bread is nice, but taste funny.”  He still eats it.  HaHaHa

So, when it come down to baking bread.  You know the main ingredient of baking the bread.  Next is your creativity.  What you want to put inside the bread.  And Just Do It!  What worst thing can go wrong.  Worst case, there is no bread for that day if the bread turn out to be funny.

I am glad we have this bread machine, and start making own bread every day.  It feels like some 20 years ago when I still live in Bishop’s Fall St. John’s, my land lady every day make turkey ham sandwich for me with newly fresh bake bread.

Cycling at East Coast Park

Date:  May 2, 2011

The sky does not looks promising at all this morning.  But its better to go outside then watching GE 2011 youtube at home.

We put Jay's bicycle inside the boot and hang mommy's bicycle outside the car.  And off we go to East Coast Park.

As for me, I will be on my 5 wheels speeder.  Meet Mr. Roller (Left) and Mr. Blade (Right).  Hello guys, long time no see.

As usual, Kay will sit in the King's seat (皇帝宝座).  And Mommy will cycle the bike.

And as for Jay Jay, he will be riding his own bike, still with 4 wheels together... I think coming weeks we will come to the East Coast Park more often so that we can train him to let go the extra 2 wheels.

And off we go.  All three of us race against each other... and of course, I have to be the camera man too at the same time...

Jay Jay can ride very fast now.

And he cycle about 5-6 KM today.

No wonder, he looks so tired after the cycling.  So, we end up at our favorite breakfast place.  The Scruffy Murphy's.

Breakfast looks very good... and sinful.

And his drawing/painting skills is even better nowadays...

We usually ride our bicycle at Clementi big Long Kang there.  But then, you have to ride on the real road (马路) with real traffic, sometimes with young toddler, it can be very dangerous.  So, if possible, we will try to come to East Coast more often, where the road is much longer, and straighter.

Always bring your young ones to do outdoors.  Build their ability to exercise.  :)
