Pineapple tart: Calm & Peace

November 30, 2008 | 17 Comments

With the world in it’s current chaotic state, the financial crisis which is turning the world around, the Mumbai terrorists attack, the airport saga in Bangkok, who knows what just might happen next. Banks who are supposed to know their stuff, suddenly appeared, like the amateur on the street, not knowing what they are really selling.

From planting bomb & hijacking planes secretly, they have decided to come out into the open, and sprayed at every happy folk on the street. My heart goes out to the family of the female lawyer, our people.

It’s disheartening when you know there are people struggling to survive and live a longer life, and there are people out there wanting to destroy life, the beginning of everything. And what’s with the people over at the Bangkok airport? Don’t they know that by stopping the planes in, they might have just stopped the future money coming into their country?

Working hand in hand, we try to mix everything, in an attempt to get it right.

In times like this, it is just so difficult to find a moment of peace isn’t it?

Mixing everything together, the sound of the machine goes churning away,

Staring at the square box, watching them grow and turn golden,

I listened to my own heart beat, and i found my calm and peace.

Indeed these days have been so unpredictable and the Singapore lawyer is a tragic case, particularly no mediation was done…

Hopefully, u felt better after baking.

So how satisfied are you towards your bakes this time round?

the pineapple tarts were not bad. and i did chocolate mousse on the same night as this too.

my chocolate mousse came out a tad watery, but i put it in the fridge then it’s all right. lol!

i baked cupcake yesterday too! the cupcake taste quite “cupcake-ish” but my frosting had to re-do. I tried oreo buttercreme, but on the first attempt, didn’t smash the oreo bits evenly, so it got stuck in the piping tip. And also added too much milk and it became too watery again! but after consulting evan, i did a second time and i think there’s a shape of the frosting, even though not very pretty. haha

Wow, you’ve been busy baking! Baking is still a tiring task for me. Hehe.. That’s why I don’t do it often. The tarts look good. I like this kind of pineapple tarts, with the filling wrapped inside the tart.

Your dough reminds me of a bad experience. LOL
