Yesterday, I invited my side of the family over for tea and dinner. We ate out for dinner but for tea, I baked some scones.
Simple recipe of mixing everything in the food processor, cutting the dough up, and then baking it.
Nothing beats fresh from the oven scones with a dollop of whipped cream and strawberry jam.
I baked about 30, and at the end of it, we have about 6 left for today's breakfast. 9 of us took 24 scones!! But they are pretty small though.
As for Zara, since her 1st birthday, she'd never seen so many people in our house before. She had fun, playing with her cousins, going to the park with them, and best of all, getting to see her youngest cousin, baby Tasha (her inspiration to become a baby) again!
Playing with Norman Ko-ko; getting ready to go out for dinner; giving Tasha a big hug (almost suffocating her in the process); Tasha giving us a rare smile (she's grown so much, compared to older photos).In the car, while on our way to home after dinner, I asked her, "Zara happy or not? So many people came to Zara's house to play with Zara?" She said, "Happy! *pointed to her chest* Zara."
Just throw everything into food processor? So easy wan-ah? Delicious-hor, when they come fresh out of oven.
ReplyDeleteSuch an adorable little baby!

ReplyDeleteZara so lovely! My girl still very shy, don't expect her to hug other baby.
You're very efficient! Hey, the resort at Ubud looks very good! I think they have very wonderful accomodations. I remember the small one I went to even had a nice open concept bathroom. So looking forward to seeing your pix.
ReplyDeleteHave been thinking of baking recently since we have a bigger oven now. But...just too lazy!

ReplyDeleteZara so sessy... LOL...
ReplyDeleteOh, I love scone, I used to go to Dome just for their scone, they had nice scone, but too bad never in the menu anymore, I remember the last visit, i sit down and scan the menu, asked the waitress "no scone?" she said: "not making scone anymore." I just left.
so when you will bring some scone visit me? hmrp?

ReplyDeleteThe scones reminds me of my Form 3 cooking lesson. That was the first time I baked scones. tried it once after that, and now forgot recipe.
ReplyDeleteThe scones looks good. Yum, yum.. got recipe ;)
Its good that she is used to crowd :)
sessy Zara... still with her Auntie-looking bag!!!! :S
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy too, if someone made me scones. Share your recipe and I'll see if it's idiot proof enough for me!
ReplyDeleteI want to go to Bali too!!!
Kat,
ReplyDeleteAlmost as easy.. that's why I like the recipe.. see if I can post it.
Yeah.. she's cute.. and that's why Zara wants to be a baby again.. to be cute again!
Mama Bok,

LB,
Yeah, I know I know.. post more recipe please but try not to make it so 'expensive' to follow.
May,
Yeah, these are the ones, they are so easy and they are yummy. I'll try to post the recipe later yeah.. if not will drop you a mail. :P
Jefferene,
She won't hug even if it's her cousin? What if you have new baby? Does she hug you often? Maybe she's not a physical person, like Zara.
Sesame,
While looking up for hotels, I see there are really lots of nice places to stay, but we just chose something which will not burn too big a hole in our pocket. :P
I have a good oven, but just not using it as much as I want.. lazy too.. :(
Lin Peh,
Got liseb.. gib King's Wife ma.. she never gib u?
Maria,
Dome stopped serving scones? Really? But actually I find their scones also quite expensive, because when I make my own, the cost is really low even when I use quality product.
One day huh? I bring to your place.
Mom2Ashley,
Haha.. 2, 3 days for me to be away is a long time already.. :P Addicted to blogging!
Geetha,

ReplyDeleteTwo Little Fellas,
ReplyDeleteI'd posted the recipe, if you baked, you can try it out. :P
It's hard to get good scones in KL.. so best is home made.
Mummy chose the clothes for her. She likes spagetti strap t-shirt with panties.. not body suit. :(

Mama22beas,

YL,

Aw Zara is such a sweet hugger.
ReplyDeleteScones always make me think of my daughter and Thanksgiving. She has baked them two years in a row now.
Wah... scone recipe please?
ReplyDeleteYoung kids love to hug babies, but usually end up hugging too hard, and causing the babies to fuss. That is a nice picture of Zara hugging Tasha.
ReplyDeleteYour scones look yummy, esp with the cream and jam.
What nice tea and scones you had. Glad that zara girl is so happy playing with cousin.
ReplyDeleteI like seeing bb playing with cousins too. He really enjoy kicking ball, pulling around, yakking with them.

ReplyDeleteTasha has grown so much huh!! and Zara already a 小姑娘 liao!
Simple American,

Yeah, at this age, they don't know they can be very raugh.
Sometimes Zara kisses me so hard it becomes a bite.. and she'll get a good scolding after that..
Luckily she hasn't done that while nursing. :P
Allyfeel,
