Gingerbread Man

-
Last night, we made our very first gingerbread man! It's all because we read about the Gingerbread Man story and Josh wanted to have a taste of it. Eve decided to make for them and she bought the ingredients from Phoon Huat. Both Josh and Kate were so excited to make it when we told them that we are going to bake gingerbread man!  The details of the cooking will be in my food blog mervyncancook.blogspot.com.


Here are some behind-the-scenes pictures...


Josh attempting to flatten the dough using the roller! It's certainly require effort to flatten it!




Eve attempting to flatten the dough. Luckily the table top that we bought from Muji is preparation ready for baking! So amazed by this great wooden table! No need flour to coat on table.




It's my time to flatten and it really trains the arm muscle! We took about 7 minutes to flatten to 3-4mm thick! And luckily my children are patient to look and wait!




Next Josh used the cutter to have the gingerbread man shape on the flattened dough!




Look at it! So cute right? Little gingerbread men, no wonder the gingerbread man in the fairytale story wanted to escape because we are all out to eat them!!




Some sweet candies are placed on the raw gingerbread men.




Aren't they deliciously cute? Can't wait to see the cooked version as I have never seen it before!






These two pictures are like parents and children! So cute right? We used toothpicks to draw out the shapes of the eyes and mouth. Just so cute!



This is a page of the storybook. And it's really so amazing. Both Josh and Kate liked the shape so much! It looks as if the one in the book is chasing after the real one... Lol.

Finally! The finished edible product of the gingerbread man!





They smelt so great and the whole kitchen filled with the aroma of the gingerbread man! I'm just quite amazed that my children like the ginger taste! And it's not so sweet too. Love it! We even gave three gingerbread men to our neighbor!



Happy Josh and he is going to bite the head! AH!! 




Kate digging out the eyes aka chocolate chips! They just love it!




Find that baking is so fun and this recipe is really so easy and I'm sure many of you would want to try it! Wait for my upcoming post on the baking process! So happy!

Kate's 2! A simple birthday celebration!

Kate turns 2 years old on 11th July 2013! And coincidentally, it's 2 day old for our new born too! We had to celebrate it at Mount Alvenia and it's certainly a fun celebration for Kate, and it's a simple affair too! We didn't manage to cook dinner and we ordered extra meals from the hospital. It's only $8 per set and they provide soup, vegetables and meat, fruits and juice! Really worth it. They only can provide a maximum of 3 meals! Josh ate all his rice and Kate loves the fish! Amazing. Of course, we didn't tell them that we are having birthday cake later. Or else, they will not be eating much of their dinner. Family feast! Love the pork vinegar dish! Oops! Pouring some of our home cooked soup that I prepared for lunch. Luckily we brought because we finished all the soups! Mother and son. Kate is such a loving sister. She pats her new born sister, as she was placed on the trolley which is used for the jaundice UV Machine. ...

Today, it's a fun day, well sort of. Got up and rushed straight to French Embassy for my first french lesson (beginner course). My teacher is Franck. He's a humorous teacher and overall, I find that french is an exquiste language, very special and interesting. I've learnt basic greetings for today. And time really passed very fast after learning. The classmates are of different background and age, and we are all having the same base of french (aka, having no knowledge at all) haa.. Yiwen and I actually wanna go to Orchard. However, we took the wrong side. We took 171 to Bukit Timah area instead! Then we U-turned. I went to Pointers to cut my hair. And it happened that the manager cut my hair. So lucky eh? Not many people would have the chance to actually cut by him, have to make appointment and pay $20. But because he is shorthanded, he came and help out... :@) Then, I rushed to meet Shaun to go to Camp to clear all our stuff. Lucky got him to help me drive fr...
