It turned out that some people thought that the mixture was rotting on Day 2/3 and threw it away. Therefore, they went through the process from Day 1 to Day 3 again and again, thinking that something must be wrong...<br /><br />"How can the levain smell like rotting crap?" Well, the truth is it really did. And all we had in our mind was to just continue feeding it as per instructions haha~<br /><br />So what did we do right? K and I concluded it could have been due to what we did:<br />1. Washing the container with detergent before using it<br />2. Using oxygenated water on Day 1/2 (as we didn't have dechlorinated water)<br />3. Wash our hands with dettol liquid soap before feeding the levain each time.<br /><br />In the end, K gave part of his Alkie (the pet name for his levain) to 2 other class members before the start of Lesson 4, so that they have some levain to work with.<br /><br />Today's breads to be made:<br />1. Pain Au Levain<br />2. Flaxseed Rye Bread<br />3. Ciabatta<br /><br />We started off with the Pain Au Levain, the recipe is really simple with wheat flour, bread flour, water, levain, yeast and salt. Yeast is used as we do not have 3hours to proof this bread in class.<br />Each of student is expected to knead the ingredients together with their own levain to produce this bread.<br /><br />I can truely call this YY's bread. It is made from my levain (hmm~ the dead cells from my hands went into the levain) and I kneaded it on my own. I wonder why my dough looks kind of small compared to others >_< <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTUM8FmnGDAQAbsXPQs_sxzlx1eaCt-ZxmuTFT9cPVe5WW7qUy4zoJVeidvTnylp4FE8ZYeQQifK32Vsa-TCR-nEZ6dbwE_S3_DisSzNlkbc3llxhfLUXn4tQJ0dTpJULhRbup/s1600-h/DSC05794.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

It was until the divide and shaping stage when we got to touch the dough.<br />
<br />
The 3 breads to be made:<br />
- Baguette using poolish method<br />
- Baguette using sponge method<br />
- Cranberry Raisin Bread<br />
<br />
The cranberry raisin dough was divided according to the number of students in the class and everyone had a hand in shaping the breads.<br />

By the 2nd lesson, we were starting to appreciate breads with bold bake(darker color) as they have better tasting crust.<br />

After the baguettes have cooled, Hafizh took out a pack of baguette from Brand X, sliced it across and passed it around. He told us to smell it. Everyone took a sniff and had this EWWW look on their face because the bread smelled like overfried french fries! This is what we have been buying commercially OMG~<br />

Back in bread course 1/2, every pair in the class have to mix their own dough. But the main reason for mixing/dividing the dough together, is to ensure that everyone's dough can get into oven together. However, we still get the chance to shape the dough.<br /><br />Lesson 1:<br />- Raisin Challah (made on our own)<br />- Challah (made on class scale)<br />- Baguette<br />- Pain de Campagne<br />- Boules<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwxYIS7N755vHPnpJl69G57qd_6VFyi1HWYyqXOB78j-0HVKeUPXPDe3q3fCfxFHBTq8Wly0-X0hVfUdBra9q9j4eqqDmND30YOZHI4Labmm9K3C-m6Z2WJV7IE_OWkVCKPKrL/s1600-h/DSC05576.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwxYIS7N755vHPnpJl69G57qd_6VFyi1HWYyqXOB78j-0HVKeUPXPDe3q3fCfxFHBTq8Wly0-X0hVfUdBra9q9j4eqqDmND30YOZHI4Labmm9K3C-m6Z2WJV7IE_OWkVCKPKrL/s400/DSC05576.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374669955769684082" border="0" /></a><br />Soaking the raisins in warm water before use.

Probably due to the fact that I prefer the sea, nature, wild flowers..going to a park to admire flowers is not my cup of tea.<br /><br />Have been busy with post editing for the Japan trip pics, hopefully I can get them done by end of the week. Guess I will be looking out for more options before deciding where to host my travel review as blogspot upload function is really really troublesome.<br /><br />It's pretty bad that I haven got mood to work. Not really due to holiday mood I would say, but its the dread of doing these stuff. I hope I will be doing something else within the next 1 year *GOSH*<br /><br />Right now, I should look forward to my artisan bread course starting this Sunday.YYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17946508650619753992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23045772.post-86392422804974362122009-08-01T00:26:00.003+08:002009-08-01T00:34:19.303+08:00Gaijins in Japan!K and I are going to Japan on NWA from 1st Aug 09 to 15th Aug 09.<br />He says he isn't really excited cos he doesn't know what to expect.<br />Silly boy -.-'<br /><br />We will leave my place at 3am which is 2.5hours from now..I am sleepy zzz~<br />My wish to that we can visit 90% if not all of the places we planned in the itinerary.<br /><br />Visiting:<br />- Tokyo(mainly)<br />- Kawagoe<br />- Hakone<br />- Shonan<br />- Enoshima<br />- Kamakura(maybe)<br />- And of course 2 outlet stores are planned for =D<br /><br />Festivals during the trip:<br />- Bon Dance (4th Aug to 7th Aug) at Asakusa<br />- Enoshima Fireworks (4th Aug) at Enoshima<br /><br />*Pray for fair weather*YYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17946508650619753992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23045772.post-71737586841107705132009-07-26T00:06:00.002+08:002009-07-26T00:33:30.985+08:00Have been zhng-ing my stuffs latelyJust a short update..<br /><br />Bought this BNWT ripcurl bikini from ebay, hmm pretty good except that the straps are wrongly positioned..or should I say design fault?<br /><br />Anyway, to correct this problem(of zaogeng)..I cut a pair of hooks off some bra strap and sewn them onto what I deemed as the correct position a.k.a more towards the centre. Tried adding new paddings to it, but this bandeu design does not have wired cups so paddings will only make the top"leave" my chest.<br />Zzz so no paddings and there's going to a Changi Airport when I wear this. But well luckily I have my tankini which is safer for water sports, so this bikini will be solely for tanning purposes. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1ya27E0XLnmTQGd6WyF_8xcH_4lWI3EPzNSdPJjqaWokWy7L0JUsuIBeF7KZ4czKSJrT1xm_cxhThVOjnBvJTWNbPpJLoiAjwqVaxgVGO_wKSS8WWnFnH6EZY7Al0zlgmEEMn/s1600-h/DSC04288.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1ya27E0XLnmTQGd6WyF_8xcH_4lWI3EPzNSdPJjqaWokWy7L0JUsuIBeF7KZ4czKSJrT1xm_cxhThVOjnBvJTWNbPpJLoiAjwqVaxgVGO_wKSS8WWnFnH6EZY7Al0zlgmEEMn/s400/DSC04288.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362433519590964882" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Been DIY-ing some victorian style pearl necklace.

The next thing I know is that he has got a fever of 38.3 degrees and he's IN OFFICE! So our OPS I/C came along with a N95 mask on her face, and one mask for the student and escorted him out of the office building. This took place on Thurs.<br /><br />Fast forward to Sunday night, I smsed the student and asked how is he and he said no one called him and he's feeling ok. He told me that the clinic said IF NO ONE CALLED HIM, it means HE'S NEGATIVE for H1N1. Ok fine, so he came back to office on Monday, thinking he's gonna be fine.<br /><br />Fuck! Then came this phonecall from the clinic saying that his test results are out and he's POSITIVE for H1N1. *@&#*@^#*&@^#@&*^#&@%^!@$!%$@!%$<br />So now, the people who had first level of contact with him are all under home quarantine for 7 days. Well done.<br /><br />But you know what's the most stupid thing here? The h1n1 test takes 2 days to show if one is h1n1 positive and my student was only given 1 day mc(for friday) which means he's not covered for monday. I don't blame him for coming to work, if you were a student whose lifeline depended on your IA grades, you wouldn't want to mess up too.<br /><br />So the 5 of us were gathered and given N95 masks, disinfected with a spray before we got escorted out of the office building. I am amazed that the cab stopped and took us back home *touched* <br /><br />For now, home quarantine for 7 days..<br /><br />I want to go for my Japan trip and I think I hate IA students.YYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17946508650619753992noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23045772.post-74478517723803973652009-07-04T22:20:00.004+08:002009-07-04T23:14:28.076+08:00Koose birthday 26th June 09K and I took leave on 26th June(friday) to celebrate his birthday.<br />To make things more special, I booked a facial appointment in the couple room @ bioskin.<br /><br />It's K's first time having facial.<br />In the couple room at 1030am *yawn*<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8n_Ssj89aw5mQW0dBQMmhy3PX4bNzWYsY9kJtNmUbnek_OhrdZTcQjXzSz6shyphenhyphen6fmtgQ7r2JKCMCVCL4Jn1VRjEBbxdB5bERQy4Cfh7PAt63yMk2svKhlIpV4UFHCZh1DjLAX/s1600-h/DSC04166.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

For the next few days, we combed the area but we couldn't see/hear any kitten noises. One evening, we finally hear a kitten mewing in the drain and out it came..could this be puggy who went missing at 3 weeks old???<br /><br />Well, the drain area where it reappeared coincides with the account of one of the grannies who said the kids took the kitten to block 6. So we are convinced by the size, color, age, gender that this should be Puggy!<br /><br />For the next two days, we couldn't find him again but he reappeared one fine morning at Block 1 where bbmm, zzm and llm roam.<br /><br />15th June 09:<br />This is LLM sniffing Puggy.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQj19g3nvZXzp_V1Hnla7Nhf0WuHdXlLiK9UWhRdzilGKSv_GrdgLsWp2sPT1txlXrQ572_Z-5Pml_dLP-flJeQETgxIJIXo-q1KDJV3MZodFN-5F265FmtCaemc06xxGxAFpq/s1600-h/DSC04066.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQj19g3nvZXzp_V1Hnla7Nhf0WuHdXlLiK9UWhRdzilGKSv_GrdgLsWp2sPT1txlXrQ572_Z-5Pml_dLP-flJeQETgxIJIXo-q1KDJV3MZodFN-5F265FmtCaemc06xxGxAFpq/s400/DSC04066.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351305821670076066" border="0" /></a><br />The coat color looks just like zzm, who is Puggy's mother's -> BBMM's sibling.<br />Puggy is a hungry kitty who went "melllllllllllllmelllllllll" while jumping.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoPiqsRrTtpMybWB3NgMYhKMnRKJW6nhyphenhyphenEbLSM8G1kMAkGLi1_5ebG3nmW74VYl0m2m0BqR3jCeW52k67gmnuzyMyRDcARLYG5Qeu2OZHMnuRu6RdYd3uCIKsAoSx0Uii5JHaM/s1600-h/DSC04069.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoPiqsRrTtpMybWB3NgMYhKMnRKJW6nhyphenhyphenEbLSM8G1kMAkGLi1_5ebG3nmW74VYl0m2m0BqR3jCeW52k67gmnuzyMyRDcARLYG5Qeu2OZHMnuRu6RdYd3uCIKsAoSx0Uii5JHaM/s400/DSC04069.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351305814011135474" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bge3LHWbBn0&hl=en&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bge3LHWbBn0&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />He's so thin :'( I wonder who took him away when he was 3weeks old and why is he back on the streets again.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCnfjxYxI0PgpYMWUQK4eCtLWVgrIAQ73JOLiNwvenFUrZH5EWu2YU8xAmeKhpfZnN5M2FYWpmpP2q8r0CcMA1xFrfxLR_HuLcTij-07tfL-IihxQBq7b2zNggpZM9pyStO4Rv/s1600-h/DSC04079.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 329px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCnfjxYxI0PgpYMWUQK4eCtLWVgrIAQ73JOLiNwvenFUrZH5EWu2YU8xAmeKhpfZnN5M2FYWpmpP2q8r0CcMA1xFrfxLR_HuLcTij-07tfL-IihxQBq7b2zNggpZM9pyStO4Rv/s400/DSC04079.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351305813628703906" border="0" /></a><br />Sad look in Puggy's eyes.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoeX7b6Yab0sGicu2G_3zkZAdzwS_UbxrhqvdtN8rXEt6P3QwxuRVrQURlbEHPe_tMYQaC8MmA6FC2i0gBY_PrQvBnWIsTY85ghGza-ry5mUag1M9Myex71jQZKqAv9t62cOkZ/s1600-h/DSC04081.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoeX7b6Yab0sGicu2G_3zkZAdzwS_UbxrhqvdtN8rXEt6P3QwxuRVrQURlbEHPe_tMYQaC8MmA6FC2i0gBY_PrQvBnWIsTY85ghGza-ry5mUag1M9Myex71jQZKqAv9t62cOkZ/s400/DSC04081.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351305807785033522" border="0" /></a><br />16th June 09:<br />We came on another morning and saw Puggy playing with 2 malay boys.

I wanted to visit her stall as I admired her entrepreneurial spirit, being a hawker is really tedious and requires tonnes of hardwork.<br /><br />We actually rushed down today morning as we heard she's closing her stall and partly due to the fact that some EDMWers will be going down, so we had more information from the forum thread before this.<br /><br />We alighted at the wrong stop -.-' so we walked for 15mins before finally finding this place >=0<br />Some said putting her baby's pic on the signboard was unprofessional, but I don't think so cos we are talking about an easily identifiable stall name/logo here.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSco87D5EcOKA2ICVqxQ_XeSAdwamI92ooIBjHo4Q1iqEJTaPM8VDggy3Gt0VlrWS7cghNPXqtWn4gvZ1vuaP5QN47MURKfKEH4LPjEp36EgMDtlzgjsbYfz2-5ZwxK_KTPU30/s1600-h/DSC03968.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSco87D5EcOKA2ICVqxQ_XeSAdwamI92ooIBjHo4Q1iqEJTaPM8VDggy3Gt0VlrWS7cghNPXqtWn4gvZ1vuaP5QN47MURKfKEH4LPjEp36EgMDtlzgjsbYfz2-5ZwxK_KTPU30/s400/DSC03968.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347213930042023154" border="0" /></a><br />We ordered the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ngoh</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">hiang</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">beehoon</span>+noodle+<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">kway</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">tiao</span>, fried egg and veggie.

This time its her hind left paw, it seems like a thorn is stuck in her pad or she got stung cos the paw swelled for the next few days =(<br /><br /><br />Today:<br />We registered a vet appointment for her, but she seems fine today. Maybe we should continue to monitor instead of putting her through the trauma of going to the vet in the carrier >_>'<br /><br />Wed morning:<br />Back to zzm, we visited all 3 of them on wednesday morning. Fed them and we sat down at the Senior Citizens' Corner. Zzm came over and hopped up the stone chair.<br /><br />At the same time, there was this half naked Uncle with a tattoo on his arm, sitting on the stone bench. He raised his fist as if wanting to hit zzm. K got scared and signalled me to leave.<br />As we had something on, we had to leave asap else there is no time to make the chocs and cake for my friend.<br /><br />After we left, we headed to the nearby kopitiam for breakfast and that was where we saw the other feeder, Auntie Ping. She told us that her friend who feeds the kitties in the morning noticed this man who is sitting downstairs half naked, stared at her when she fed the cats. Another thing was that, her friend would fill up the waterbowls and find them emptied later. She suspected that the half naked man emptied the waterbowl. Upon hearing that, we nodded in agreement because the man was around this morning too and was hostile to zzm.<br /><br />Thursday morning:<br />We saw the kitties and noticed that zzm had the same injury, left front limping leg as llm and bbmm. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT!<br /><br />So who abused my poor kitties ='(YYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17946508650619753992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23045772.post-9993210131891890792009-06-01T00:07:00.008+08:002009-06-01T00:46:56.322+08:00Self rewarding week & Da Vinci ExhibitionHave been burdened by this certification exam for sometime..its finally over!<br />And its time to reward myself, however these are short term gratification as guilt follows shortly after -_-''<br /><br />I have some long overdue shopping which was done during this week..ouch~ my wallet hurts.<br />Think the total came up to 2K+ ~_~<br />- Upgrade facial package<br />- Clothes ( 2 levis, 2 working tops, 2 working pants, 2 dresses, 1 casual top for fridays)<br />- Baking course for <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">artisan</span> breads<br /><br />And there's still shoes and bags that I need to replace ._.''<br /><br />I spent my entire Saturday shopping at Far East Plaza and Taka and it was rewarding. The main reason I like shopping is because I love to look for bargains. Well, as a rule of the thumb, I only buy things that are worth what they are. Too costly? Next please.<br /><br />I am happy with my purchases especially the Levis Jeans. Not quite due to the brand, but because they had the 2 pairs for $99 and there was boot cut designs! Boot cut designs are rare these days, don't know what's nice about skinnys though. Esprit working tops are decent enough at $30 each. 2 dresses at $12.90 each, it says no trying so I kept my fingers crossed...luckily it fit me just right.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXGA3d5XiwdnScUCQOC8rD2qSelFVnskqbwiNcckBHHoWLiK3ecYmoMSUKa5S-NsFOhVzb1AhI2FdSw5Bzxb_zvJk_Eh0noAKX2fohhdS6Pvd2v-vzxc5fO9g88Xph8FuPp39m/s1600-h/20090531.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXGA3d5XiwdnScUCQOC8rD2qSelFVnskqbwiNcckBHHoWLiK3ecYmoMSUKa5S-NsFOhVzb1AhI2FdSw5Bzxb_zvJk_Eh0noAKX2fohhdS6Pvd2v-vzxc5fO9g88Xph8FuPp39m/s400/20090531.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342025489505753746" border="0" /></a><br />We went to the Science Centre, Singapore on Sunday using Corporate Passes.

I looked and wondered if she looked slimmer => gave birth. Meanwhile I squatted down to pour out the dried food and had a shock of my life! zzm is tipped ear!!! OMG?!<br /><br />Later in the noon, I went to look for the auntie and it turned out that she had brought for ZZM for neutering and well the vet said 'OK' so they proceeded O_O<br />Poor zzm and her unborn kittens ='( Zzm was so whiny and kept meowing when I looked at her.<br /><br />Tuesday morning, I signalled her to come up my lap. She made a 180 turn on my lap and rested her head on lap. When I took out my camera, she made a few adjustments.<br /><br /><br />Resting her hands on my wrist. Zzm has a habit of resting her paw paw on my arms when she's on my lap.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzieZx3ce7JjrWA-mAP9RwKTwjoTbTNAInVGeqUbGxa7jH_Jy_lSW0zkSHFqC1WBiWOomN-WQv6Ez80htA5Uqf4DFcrBnc6xvv8sbf1IX_uzUp5h5UY2vsVHDCqBHVQ46JKhOp/s1600-h/DSC03824.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzieZx3ce7JjrWA-mAP9RwKTwjoTbTNAInVGeqUbGxa7jH_Jy_lSW0zkSHFqC1WBiWOomN-WQv6Ez80htA5Uqf4DFcrBnc6xvv8sbf1IX_uzUp5h5UY2vsVHDCqBHVQ46JKhOp/s400/DSC03824.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336444927555387954" border="0" /></a><br />Still resting her paws on my arm and her head resting on her paws.

I found her later in the evening sleeping on her back, she's really whiny but she had her normal huge appetite =) One thing is..bbmm seems to have slimmed considerably in the 3 days, K commented bbmm's head shrunk or maybe should I say her cheeks? Lol~<br /><br />Seems like the wound still hurts alot, so bbmm rested in this pose for the next 5mins<br />Unglam -.-'' I noticed there's some red flesh..is that her raw flesh?

It is K's second attempt on risotto, this time he had some good tips from the internet.<br /><br />Tips:<br /><ul><li>Cook risotto rice grains with onions till grains looks 'glassy'<br /></li><li>Make sure the wine/broth is heated to boiling stage before adding into the rice. Food science has it that ingredients of similar temperature mix easily together.<br /></li><li>Ensure wine is fully absorbed before adding stock to the risotto.</li><li>Do not over-stir risotto.</li><li>The last ladle of broth to be added to the risotto is the hardest estimate, too much of it results in a watery dish while too little of it ends up taste dry. Do note that cheese and butter thickens the risotto.<br /></li></ul>Top left: Swatting onions with risotto rice grains<br />Top right: Heated wine goes into risotto.<br />Bottom left: Cheese and butter added to semi final product, the risotto instantly thickens.<br />Bottom right: End product looking yellow and creamy.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeem3GZn2rB5qhhEky29cX-ulUopXn08Rx0pu13x-DDNLwnuRwMtonJ1mLvp01rhods9AWAQTF2Ljb0eV16c8wwilnixr0rAJacSquh2EBahYidHaTJiCPoC1gDLapCdLyLNSh/s1600-h/20090405-4.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeem3GZn2rB5qhhEky29cX-ulUopXn08Rx0pu13x-DDNLwnuRwMtonJ1mLvp01rhods9AWAQTF2Ljb0eV16c8wwilnixr0rAJacSquh2EBahYidHaTJiCPoC1gDLapCdLyLNSh/s400/20090405-4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321146915202353298" border="0" /></a><br />Finally dinner is ready at 8pm+.
