巧克力杏仁小蛋糕 (Chocolate & Almond Cupcake)

最近看了两本很好看而且很有意思的书。
这一生，至少当一次傻瓜 ～石川拓治著
有些事，这些年我才懂～小野
两本书都在激励着我的人生；
教导我，放眼观看和爱护大自然；
教导我，世上没有不可能；
教导我，人类只是大自然的一环，无论科技多么先进，人类生存始终无法脱离大自然；
教导我，失败比成功来得意义深重。
教导我，赢未必就是永远胜利。
教导我，亲情的可贵，家人的和谐比世上任何事情任何财宝都珍贵。
每次读到很感人的时候，我总是喜欢停下来，把内容分享给两个孩子听。
虽然女儿是对阅读比较有兴趣的那个，
但是我的故事往往比较吸引儿子。
他听了会叫爸爸买英文版本的给他。
看来，妈妈成了介绍所；
不在家掌厨，我也可以当推销员了，嘻嘻。。。
真的是好看的书，值得向大家推荐。

做了个蛮多工的小蛋糕。
因为要送人，所以慢慢的摸，慢慢的用心的做。
很好吃一下哦。
一口一个，我喜欢。
