Cheesy Egg Sandwich



Let's see. You'll need the following ingredients to whip up a "Cheesy Egg Sandwich":

2 eggs
4 slices of sandwich loaf
1/2 cup of grated cheese



If you don't keep track of the time, the half-boiled egg could and would easily become a perfectly done egg.





After laying the bread slices on a plate, crack open the half-boiled egg and carefully pour it onto the bread. I wasn't extremely careful, which caused the egg to run down the bread and spill everywhere.



Scatter the cheese onto the bread.

Bake at 100C for around 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.

Banana Chocolate Cake with Pumpkin Seeds



It was never intended to be a muffin; I just didn't have the actual cake mould.

Dry Ingredients:
2cup cake/pastry flour
1 Tbsp Van Houten chocolate powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp sugar

Wet Ingredients:
2 eggs, room temperature
A splash of vanilla extract
1/4 cup olive oil
3 Tbsp butter, room temperature
1 cup milk
3 bananas, roughly mashed

Additional Ingredients:
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
Chocolate chips

1) In one bowl, sift all the dry ingredients and leave aside.
2) In another bowl, add vanilla and beat eggs with sugar, oil and butter until smooth.
3) Fold in 1/3 of the sifted mixture and 1/3 milk, and alternate between the two, before finally adding the bananas and the pumpkin seeds.
4) Pour the wet mixture into the oiled mould of your choice, and top it off with chocolate chips.
5) Bake for 45 minutes at 180C.

3/6/2013



I dreamt that it was in the hospital that I ran into a blogger-friend, where we both learned that it was our mutual friend who had crumbled under the pressures of life and was admitted to the ICU.

The hospitable part of me suggested that since he hadn't been able to arrange his accommodation in advance, if he wished, he was free to put up at my place until our mutual friend's condition improved.

Adele - Don't You Remember (Live at Largo)



Watching you from a distance, it pains me to know that I’m a distant memory of yours but it gladdens me to see that you’ve made the right choice too.

Too many years have passed since our last encounters.

Cliques change, humans change.

My patience is seeping away by the minute; don't force me to wipe you out of memory, along with the laughs you left in me.
