Cookies and cream cheesecake!


Check it out Timmy can cook!

I saw this simple recipe somewhere and thought i would give it a go. Oh and check this, this cake requires no baking!

All it needed was:
-Oreos
-Caster sugar
-Butter
-Creamcheese
-Cream
-Vanilla extracts.

Got the oreos and separated the biscuits from the cream and threw the cream filling out (such a waste i know!), i never liked the cream and figured it would make the cake much too sweet. Crushed the oreos, process with butter and that's the base. Then get everything else beat it all up in one bowl and then add 1/4 of a gelatin solution and pour it over your oreo base and done!

Wait for the gelatin to set in the fridge and it's done! So simple!

I think i did put a bit too much butter in with the base causing it to harden up into a not so crumbly biscuit but it turned out to be a good thing.

Oh cooking is fun!

Ah! What the hell is this!?


I thought it was an algae infestation, maybe it is. But it does not resemble much like algae if anything it reminds me of tiny Lilly pads. I got some of it out but it's actually quite hard. Now I'm not sure on what i should do.

Help?

Grumble, grumble.


450km's on one full tank. Premium too! Gah!! 60 liters of liquid gold and that's all i can get! Thats 13.5 L per 100kms, I think i rode 100kms at the mont with less water than that!

That's it car shopping starts now, going to get something that is more suited to me. Something that is smaller, handles better, turns better, looks better, parks easier and doesn't chew petrol like its only worth $1 a liter.

Cupcakes on Pitt.

Oh how dreadful this weather has been in Sydney this whole week, nothing but rain. Great for the water catchments though! So on such glum days like this what could of been a better idea than to have gotten a couple of cupcakes brighten the day up.One Blueberry cupcake and a Carrot cupcake please!

Cupcakes on Pitt! Have you ever walked past the little shop on Pitt street that was filled with the most prettiest little cupcakes you have ever seen. I always looked twice never thought twice to try it though.

Now 2 for $5. hrm.. quite dear for such little things but look at how pretty they are, I almost didn't want to eat them! The Carrot cupcake (on the left), was firm had a delicate swirl of icing on its 'cupcake top' and topped with a nice little walnut (which got gobbled up by someone before i even noticed it was there!). It reminded me of a simple carrot cake actually but bite size and a more earthy taste to it (if that makes sense), i was surprised to actually feel the carrot bits in the muffin... I mean cupcake! It's wasn't a bad thing, if anything it was unique and very nice to have the tiniest crunch of real carrots in it.

The Blueberry cupcake stood a little bit taller than his/her carrot counterpart, which proved a bit puzzling to bite. The cupcake itself was very nice, perfect amount of sweetness and was cook perfect! No unevenness of rising dough here. But the cream was what made me say to myself "Oh, wow." To me it seemed like cream and/or moose but it wasn't icing. It was so soft yet it still held shape despite being out of its fridge for so long.

In the end, it was a very nice treat and did brighten up such a wet gloomy day. Give it a go next time you walk past it, i recommend trying it for when you're bored, peckish, hungry or on a date. =).

=)



Double click and watch in youtube!

B.O.B. feat Bruno Mars - Nothin on you (by request)



Youtube again, found this. Just shows how creative people can be and how talented people can be outside of the mainstream hotshots industry. Check out his lyrics!

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I used to just fool around
Just dating random girl after girl
But thats in the past now
Yes thats in the past now
Cause girl youve changed my ways
I used to just to play around
A night with her and then I was out
But girl then I met you
Girl then I met you
Oh girl just know that

[Bridge]
There's so much nonsense
It's on my conscience
I'm thinking baby I should get it out
Don't wanna sound redundant
But I was wondering
If there was something that you wanna know
But never mind that we should let it go
Cause we don't wanna be a TV episode
And all the bad thoughts
Just let them go (go, go, go)

[Hook]
beautiful girls
all over the world
i could be chasing but my time would be wasted
they got nothing on you baby
nothing on you baby
they might say hi
And i might say hey
but you shouldn't worry
About what they say
cos they got nothing on you baby
nothing on you baby

[Verse 2]
I know that he broke your heart
You never shouldve give him your love
But thats in the past now
Thats in the past now
So girl just take my hand
Cause Ill give you all I have
So girl just let me be your man
And girl dont you worry
Girl dont you worry
Ill never let you down

Friday night eats!

So after my horrid attempt at my Transport assignment it is finally submitted! Woo! I hope i pass this damn course.

After that i met up with Nat and funny enough we went on a random food crawl in Parramatta. First up was "Pho Pasture" (sp?), I actually quite like this franchise. I think there is two in Parra one dodgy looking one and one alot nicer looking ( we went there of course) and i believe there is also one in Bankstown too which happens to be in competition of another place called 'Pho Ann' known for the "best" pho in Sydney, which i disagree (Pasture i think is better by far!). It was a shame because they had somehow run out of rice paper rolls, how can a viet pho restaurant run out of rice paper rolls so we just got ourselves a bowl of pho each.
After that was sweets! And i was pleasantly introduced to this chocolate lovers haven called "San Churro" Which like most chocolate havens specialise in ice-creams, fondues, hot chocolates and mixed chocolate platters. One of their signature dishes is the chocolate and churros.
We decided to get the kids chocolate and churros!
It's smaller but we get sprinkles on the side! Apparently you cannot order the adults serving with sprinkles on the side despite how nice it is. The 'churros' is i think a Spanish doughnut, to me it was a slightly savory dough extruded out of a star shaped cut out and deep fried in strips. Then you take the strips and dip it in their signature chocolate which was not too rich and not too sweet, i liked it. And with ours we had sprinkles on the side, oh how fun!
Then after that, still a bit peckish we went to 'City Extra'. Never been there before but it's actually a nice family restaurant a bit overpriced but I wasn't surprised. After looking at the menu which i thought was an old 70's newspaper (pretty cool!) we snacked on the shepherds pie. Wish i took some photos of the food i had but the food didn't look too photogenic. lol!
I saw a Ferrari on Victoria rd. The sound it made was just memorising, stuck in traffic and you cannot ignore the purr this car gave.
Random photo, It's telling three different crazy stories to me at once, it's epic.

"He only wants sex twice a week, Who is to blame?"
This news blog just amused me, it's not the sex part that amused me. It was the comments below, people discussing the relationship and how differently people can view the situation. Some say it's the girls problem some say it's his problem, fix it, don't fix it, live with it, find a new one, find a new toy, get some drugs. Ahh there is always two sides to the story and it's hard to listen to both.

Bwahahah, what a random night. Oh so fun, i like eating now!
