(not so) Omelet Veggy

I hardly cook fancy meal. I think everyone's aknowledge that. I only cook simple food which miracoulously can make my husband satisfied with his meal ;P

Here's one of my simple cook. It is supposed to be an omelet but the food got attached on the pan... so it end up become scamble!

Chopped onion... courgette and red pepper (all these veggies are optional..)

Stir fried until they look half cook.

*************************************************

Once they ready... pour the eggs (I use 2 eggs..whisk them a bit.. pinch of salt & black pepper)

on the picture I added pasta fussili left over from our lunch ;)

Set low fire so that it cook evenly.

Roast it a bit on the pan... makes more tasty!

The Happy meals is ready!

I ate it with roasted potatoes

SHORT BREAD COOKIES

Today I made shortbread as a promised to my husband. I found the recipe on the net. Make alteration on sugar because it's too sweet for my taste.

The ingredients are these :

self raising flour 180gr

sugar 40gr

butter 125gr

beat together sugar and butter then add the flour. shape the dough and leave in the fridge for 20 minutes. Bake 180 degree for 10-15 minutes. Keep on eye bcoz it's cook quickly.

Cheese Pound Cake tragedy!

I made this cake the other day for Indonesian meeting (arisan euy!).It was a disaster! the outside was hard and the inside (supposed to be soft n spongy) was uncooked properly. I wanted to cry... Huaaa..why!!??? I follow the instruction alright. And the worse was: i found out that the cake unproperly cook in the morning.

But then I remember I have this instant puff pastry and panna in the fridge. So I bake the plain pastry- filled it with panna mounted mix with cream cheese and garnished with jam. I saved!

puff pastry

NOTE: just have a thought, I tried to whisk the white eggs but i couldnt make it foamy. Might be the cause....

I use this recipe I found on the web (after alteration) : Ingredients : butter (250gr) /package cream cheese, softened (200gr) /sugar (500gr) /6 eggs (separated) /flour (750gr) /baking soda Directions : Preheat oven to 300°F/160 C /Cream butter, cream cheese and sugar together /Add eggs one at a time. /Add vanilla and then flour slowly. /Pour into a bundt pan or Tube pan. /Bake for 1 1/2 hours. /IMPORTANT: Do not try and rush by cooking faster in a hotter oven.

PS: If some cake tragedy like this happen to you.. dont throw away the cake! (I know.. I also get pissed off and intent to chuck 'em away). Instead..slices it thin and bake them again (in d oven or grill.. I grilled them though). They will turn into something like a biscotti /cookies. Taste lovely ;)
