Project Life 2014 ~ October 23 to 31

Project Life 2014

October 23
It is lots of work making croissant, I stayed at home and spent 9 hours just to do that. You have to roll and fold, leave it in the fridge for an hour or so, and then take it out to roll and fold again, repeat the process a few times to get all those layers..... but hmmm... folding all those butter in there, yum yum...







nothing beats homemade croissant fresh from the oven




October 26
Today I took my 3rd and last class at Sur la Table, it is homemade doughnuts


we learn 4 kinds of doughnuts in class, baked doughnut with poppy seed and lemon glaze, I never thought that I would like a baked doughnut but it was surprisingly good.


and then the classic deep fried with powdered sugar, yum


and this one is with maple glaze, yummy too


I forgot to take picture for the gluten free ones, since Clare is a vegan, I might make that for her.


October 28
Papi went back to the same groomer today, this time is not as good as the first time, but still look very cute, don't you think?


when he is not at home, the house seems so quiet, no one following me around : (



October 30
I put what I learn in class to use today - baked poppy seed doughnut with lemon glaze

Lemon zest always smells so good





Oops... who took a bite before I take picture? : 0


must be GOOD!


and I brought some for my friends in the afternoon




October 31
We have been letting Papi out to the backyard these days, he love running out there and chasing birds, and this morning, he just fell into the pond by accident, I didn't see what happened but when I heard the sound of the water, I turn and saw him peddling a few stroke and then hop up to the rocks by himself, I quickly grab a towel and warm him up, poor boy, he must be shocked (of course there is no time for the camera when things like that happened)



Today is the first time I attended a Halloween Party at my friend's house, I dressed up as Audrey Hepburn


and cook graveyard tex max chilli for the party


and pandan coconut cupcakes too


this is Jason, the host


and some other pictures from the party


there were 2 dead bodies lying in front of his garage when we arrived at the scene


here are 2 group photos, adults and the kids

Ros Crawford said...

What a fun post filled with lovely photos ... Your baking looks amazing!! So delicious!
About gluten free ... My SIL has coeliac disease that means she cannot have anything with gluten (wheat) in it or she would be very ill. She was recently in the USA and they seem to think that gluten free is vegetarian i.e. no meat so I am surprised when you write it too ... Gluten is from wheat

So there was a party ... fear to be afraid! But the graveyard cake cool! I hope that as clearly written - I do not know English, so I use the translator.
