Sunday, 21 June 2009,15:46  I was baking Brownie today for my class outing: This was the recipe i used: Chocolate Brownie
Ingredients:
3/4 cup cocoa powder
3/4 cup shortening
2 ¼ cups white sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup walnuts or pecans (chopped) use almond nut Step 1: Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9×13” baking pan with aluminum foil and grease it.
Step 2: In a sauce pan melt shortening and then stir in cocoa powder (use MILO+1/8 baking powder). Remove pan from heat. Pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl. Mix in sugar and vanilla extract. Mix in eggs one at a time. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold in chopped walnuts or pecans. Pour mixture into the baking dish and spread out evenly.
Step 3: Bake for 30 minutes. Cool and cut into squares.
(Makes about 14-28 brownies depending on the size you cut them) I didn't have cocoa powder, hence i decided to substitute it with milo. I also did not have shortening( Pure fat in powder form) so i decided to substitute this with canola oil...So the result when i tried to stir them together: FAILED. The milo was burnt!! LOLs i thought using Canola oil (+omega 3) could substitute Shortening. Seems like it was a bad mistake and i wasted so much food. Hence i made my way to punggol plaza to buy cocoa powder and shortening if possible. Poon huat was too far and i'm Lazy hahas.
Well in the end I got the expensive cocoa powder and butter instead of shortening(huge packaging and expensive).
This time it went right:
 However, i think the temperature is wrong for the recipe. I think the 350 degrees should be in Faraheint....my oven's max temperature is only up till 225 degrees anyways. I set the temperature to the max and the brownie became too HARD...waaa waste of effort.
This meant that i have to bake tomorrow night! (after my Leo club event)
Well, i think the baking session wasn't that bad since its my first time baking Brownie which looks really like it other than the taste. Going to lower the temperature to 170 degrees tomorrow and add in chocolate chips!! hahaahas make it more chocolaty and fattening! Well no matter what will tomorrow's result be i will just bring it for the outing LOLS.
I going to SKATE muahahaha. It will be my first time skating lols so i expect to see myself falling over and over again but getting right back up with each fall! I think i wont do that bad since it is a lil' like ice-skating.
HAPPY FATHER's DAY!!! I told this to my father in the morning and he was like "hur hur hur" well he's like this. lols.
Later will be going out for dinner with my grandpa and other relatives.
.mi....Signing off...adios.....

Back from the dinner! Well...not sure why that restaurant is so crowded. The food there could be found just about in every coffee shop.
Cousin and i had to take bus there cause my father's car was too pack to accommodate us. He actually did not want to go bus grandpa (forced) him to go hahas. When we reach there, i got to see pictures of another cousin who went to Germany for his NS!! Mi want to go there too hahas its so beautiful and different from here!
Just discovered a singer name Jewel. Like some of her songs...nice voice bahx

Happy father's day to Einstein too hahas
