Madeleine

No charabens for today. :P The boys have been asking me for food one hour after their lunch these few days, decided to bake some Madeleines for them to eat for tea. As expected, they wanted to help, so they ended up doing almost all the work, I only helped them to fill the mould. -_- Madeleine recipe at the end of the post, quite easy to do, give it a try if you are looking for something simple.


The boys taking turn to mix the batter.


Ta-dah, the madeleines, fresh out of the oven.


The boys' portions for tea. They had apple juice instead. :P


And this is mine, but I only ate one, too much butter, too fattening for me, lol. :)


Pack a box for the hubby to bring to work tomorrow. It's one of those rare times he gets a box, coz I always throw his sandwiches and cakes in plastic bags, lol. :P


My dinner, on the plate are braised E-Fu noodles, fermented red wine grilled chicken and salad. Similar stuff for Daddy and the boys too, except they had stir-fry vegetables with fish instead of salad, they don't fancy their veggies raw. Hiaz.
