My stand mixer broke a couple days ago.

I should've appreciated it more.

Gee~ the electric hand mixer is so difficult to handle the cookie dough.

It flys!!!

It's difficult to go from high tech to low tech. @@"

幾天前我大台攪拌機陣亡了,真是由奢入儉難呀!

做個餅乾而已,這手拿式攪拌機弄的麵團到處飛 @@"

I had to use two rice paddles to finish mixing the dough.

連飯瓢都拿出來用了

My favorite chocolate, Macadamia nut clusters!!!

It is the time of the year to indulge myself.

I grabbed one from the shelf without a second thought.

HA!

我最愛的 Macadamia nut clusters!!!

年底真是幸福的季節

想吃什麼都可以不必再三考慮,拿了就走!

哈!

Santa arrived early this year.  ^ _ ^

(The Big red one was from Santa; 

the white one died while I was making a cake.)

聖誕老公公提早來囉...

(大台紅色的是聖誕老公公送的

白色那台上次做蛋糕時陣亡了) 

What a beautiful machine, I admire her.

真美呀!崇拜的心情...

It's cold.

Have a bowl of Tofu pudding in hot ginger tea with sweet potatoes.

天好冷

來碗薑湯豆花加地瓜
