Pancakes!



i woke up wanting to eat pancakes so i made pancakes! but first i had to find the recipe from the internet. like the other time my mom wanted to make ginseng chicken i found it out in the internet too. yay! my brother says it's nice hahaha! the only thing is i could not find maple syrup at home. he found it but it has expired like 2 years ago D: horrors. i made the fluffy ones. but i'm not sure if they were supposed to turn out like it my variation or was it suppose to be more fluffy. 'cause i tried my best to beat the egg white stiff but it was more of semi-stiff. light. whatever.
the first one didn't look like what i was hoping it would look like but subsequently they look quite alright.

anyway, i was also hoping my mom could eat it but i guess i took kinda long to produce the first one. once she got out of her room she was already a leg out of the house /:

i didn't have buttermilk at home /: i don't usually see them here anyway so i sub it with milk and lemon juice

recipe:
2 cups all-purpose/plain flour
2 tbsps granulated sugar
1/2 tsps salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsps baking soda
1 cup buttermilk[ if you really can't find that you can use 1 tsp to 1 cup of milk have to let it set for a few minutes or just use plain yogurt]
3/4 cups milk
2 large eggs [separate the yolks from the whites]
1/4 cup melted butter
vegetable oil

first you combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and the soda together in a bowl.
mix the buttermilk, milk, egg yolks and melted butter together in another bowl...
then you pour in the liquid stuffs into the powdery mix.
stir till everything is blended together.
the egg whites you beat till they are stiff[to me stiff is supposed to be like you can't really pour it out anymore... like whipped cream]
then to fold in the egg white into the batter till you know it's inside the batter.

take your pan out i think a non-stick pan is good.
heat a small amount of oil at medium heat.
when oil is hot enough pour a small portion of your batter into the pan.
see the edges dry and bubbles bursting and the bottom is brown.
you can then flip it over and fry the over side till brown. the recipe says about 2-3mins each side.

2 more papers to go!
before my father left the house he said,"don't be home late. something bad may happen." what is something bad that may happen? why now? can't it be after the 10th of March or after my birthday... which is like 20days after that x:

please let it rain.

ok i'm updating in the midst of the exams...



i don't know about you but i haven't seen the rain for a few days now. maybe it's already 2 weeks. It really seems like something is missing without the rain. it makes me sad and slightly paranoid. makes me think about 2012... maybe it's really happening .

i thought i felt some raindrops but it didn't rain

shower the leaves. drench the soil and i'll be happy.

it's so much easier to post than to email...

What is marketing


1. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: ' I am very rich. Marry me! ' - That's Direct Marketing'


2. You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl. One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says: ' He's very rich. 'Marry him.' -That's Advertising'


3. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day, you call and say: ' Hi, I'm very rich. 'Marry me - That's Telemarketing'


4. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten your tie, you walk up to her and pour her a
drink, you open the door (of the car)for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her ride and then say:'By the way, I'm rich. Will you 'Marry Me?' - That's Public Relations'


5. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and says:'You are very rich! 'Can you marry ! Me?' - That's Brand Recognition'


6. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: 'I am very rich. Marry me!' She gives you a nice hard slap on your face. - ' That's Customer Feedback '


7. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: 'I am very rich. Marry me!' And she introduces you to her husband. - 'That's demand and supply gap'


8. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say anything, another person come and tell her: 'I'm rich. Will you marry me?' and she goes with him - 'That's competition eating into your market share'


9. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say: 'I'm rich, Marry me!' your wife arrives. - ' That's restriction for entering new markets '
