烧鸡鸡粒饭（Chicken Rice Balls with Roast Chicken)

很久都没有吃鸡饭了。

每次告诉孩子今晚吃鸡饭，他们都会很高兴。

我也不明白为什么鸡饭会那么受欢迎。

但是对孩子们来说就是很好料的一餐。

对我来说也是简单的一餐。

不用绞尽脑汁，也不用炒到整个厨房油油的。

那天问朋友煮什么晚餐，她就说烧鸡饭。

啊！是咯，好主意；

真的好久没吃烧鸡饭了。

于是买了4个鸡腿连着腿上肉，做了个烧鸡。

我特别喜欢炭烧鸡翅，所以这次就用同样的方法来烤鸡。

再把鸡饭做成马六甲闻名的粒粒鸡饭；

就这样我昨天好像回到了家乡。

荔枝慕斯蛋糕 (Lychee Yogurt Mousse Cake)

这是过期的甜点。
情人节时给两个孩子做的。
其实这个荔枝慕斯蛋糕原本是要在朋友生日当天做来送给他的；
但是当时我身体不舒服，又有点累，结果打消了念头。
反正材料都有了，于是就在相隔两天后的情人节我把它给搞出来了。
这是一个很清新的口味而且非常好吃的蛋糕。
或许是我们都很喜欢荔枝吧，所以觉得很美味。
特别喜欢okashi的special biscuit sponge.
上一次尝试用这个食谱做了个瑞士卷，觉得很不错。
这次再做，拿来当垫底也很好。
如果想做免烤乳酪蛋糕，又不喜欢饼干底的话，可以考虑用这个蛋糕做底部。
情人节虽然过了，希望大家还是一样和自己心爱的人相亲相爱。
那么天天都会是情人节了。

麦香咖喱角（wholemeal spiral curry puff)

休息了几天什么都不想做。

家里实在也不缺少吃的。

蛋糕，年饼，吃得多了，真的很害怕那身材一直在向横发展。

尤其看见老公的肚子好像怀孕般，实在让我不敢踏入厨房。

这样也好让我把时间花在别的事情上。

今天突然想吃咖喱角；

篮子里也有好多马铃薯和洋葱，于是决定弄几个来吃。
炒好馅料才发觉到原来最近不做糕点，就连面粉也忘了补货。
秤一下只剩下200克的面粉；又懒惰出去买。
最后铁了心用高筋面粉和麦粉替代，心理祷告着最好别出状况。
惊奇折叠面皮的过程非常好操作，
整个制作过程都非常的顺利，没有混酥的状况。
最重要的是炸时也很好，几乎没有爆裂的现象。
这使到炸完后的油不污浊；
我在想这也可能是折叠时多做了两次，所以层次较多和密，
馅料也就不太容易流出来。
总之，今天的这个食谱虽说是不太合常理，
但是我个人非常的满意。
这个星期六的聚会我要再做，看看是否真的行得通，
还是今天的实验只是侥幸而已。

Ingredients:

Fillings: 

• 4 medium size potatoes, cubed
• 1 big onion, cubed
• 2tbsp curry paste (A1 brand)

Water dough pastry:

• 2tbsp cooking oil, 1tbsp butter
• 110ml water

Oil dough pastry:

• 100g plain flour, 1 tbsp rice flour, 50g shortening

2. To make oil dough: Rub shortening into the flour to form oily dough. Set aside for 10 minutes.
3. Flatten water dough and roll into rectangle shape.
4. Wrap oil dough inside the water dough and roll out into a rectangular shape on a floured surface.

6. Then roll the dough into a long spiral rope (like a swiss roll) and let rest for about 20 minutes.
7. Using a knife, cut the dough into 16 pieces.

2月14日对许多的朋友来说都是浪漫的一天。
尤其是在热恋中的人们更是非常期待这一天吧？
我不是浪漫的女人；但是有个非常热情的老公；
为此，他烦我也烦。
他烦，因为他的女人不浪漫。
我烦，因为我的男人要浪漫。
经过这么多年被我泼冷水泼惯了，他也不再太刻意了。
因为面对这么样的老婆，他应该“醒悟”和真的觉得实在没趣了。
今天一早我女儿问我，妈咪今天我们要怎样庆祝？吃什么好？
我说，我很懒惰。
女儿好像有点失望。
我告诉她，我会努力坐点好吃的。
于是牺牲了我的晨运，也没去教堂。
回来做了两个蛋糕，一个送给我亲爱的孩子们；

年饼（四款）CNY Cookies (4 types)

现在很多人都在倒数农历春节的到来吧？
在澳洲这个时候，很多人都会扑在学校，因为是孩子们新学期的开始。
载送孩子的任务又开始了。
今天有点寂寞，家里只剩下我一个人。
也好，这样我才有时间整理一下照片上贴子。
虽然说这里的农历新年并不比家乡的热闹，
但是随着大量的外来移民，特别是中国大陆的人们；
西澳的春节不再那么的冷清和无聊。
华人商店的年货更是应有尽有；看得我眼花缭乱。
年饼还是自己做，本来只想做几样过过瘾；
结果是越做越起劲，还自告奋勇帮朋友做。
接下来的这个星期我空闲了，只剩下黄梨饼就收工。
家里也大扫除了，这一环节本来是要省掉的；
但还是过不了自己那一关。
怪不得朋友说：Jane，你真的是不可以坐diam-diam.
呵呵。。。这就是我咯，改不了的。
