Happy Halloween

hmmm. ok a quick post then i'll have to get out of the house before all the trick-or-treaters in the neighborhood all come knocking on my door =P just gave some cookies away, but then shall be left speechless when i'm left with no treats for these enthu kids...
baked cookies for Halloween yest cos 1) saw these really cute orange and brown choc chips and 2) decided that I had enough of work for a while.... =P hmm.. still have things to say but sadly i really need to get out of the house for a few hours..... will continue later.

CONT'D

so i wanted to give some credit to Kai for trying very hard to be useful while i was baking. while at times i got really exasperated, (cos he's really not the most obedient kid...) he also got me into quite a few laughing fits... so when i told him to pour the brown sugar into the bowl, he wasn't very successful cos the brown sugar was kinda clumped tog. so i wanted to make a bigger opening to make it easier for him to pour. but he wanted to do it. so ok let him do.... then just like how sometimes when we try to open packets of titbit with a little too much force and prob 2/3 of the contents end up on the ground, the sugar packet kinda 'exploded' in his face and he ended up with a lot of brown sugar in his face and shirt... on the table.. on the floor... but he was so nonchalant about it and then proceeded to scoop up all the sugar, with all the dust and what not on the table back into the bowl.... at this point i had no idea how much sugar we had in our mixture already but was just like heck lah.. whatever =P then he wanted to crack the egg... ok so let him crack. but he practically crushed the whole egg, tried very hard to get its contents out later, then at the end of it all, absent-mindedly thrust all the eggshell into the bowl of batter.... dunno.. i just couldn't stop myself from laughing he prob thought i was a bit kuku. well, anyway, with a little salvaging, everything still turned out fine in the end, with Kai and I (and even my landlady) "pigging out" on bits of the delicious uncooked batter.. and yes, so ends my slightly traumatising but pretty erm... refreshing experience of baking with Kai.
