Oh yea man..i had fun todae because it was the first time i baked mi own cookies! Yumyum...Met up wif zixu and jas to get the ingredients for mi cookie making and the dinner tt zixu wanted to prepare. Of course tt ah ma zixu took like damn damn long to make up his mind and i was so hungry lar..We decided to have lunch at macs and met seok fun and fiona at the bus stop near his house before going in together.
Was at a loss initially on baking because i juz knew too little...but i tynk i din relly wanted any help from them. Guess it's mi big-headedness but must thank them for the little tips here and there given tt they're much more experienced than mi. Can't blame them for being a bit exasperated at times too because i was juz too noob! So they went off to play mahjong while i try mi best to make the cookies. Disgusted, i was at the butter and the fact tt i have to touch it made mi feel even worse but conquer i haf to, of mi fear...
Rolled the dough into round balls and placed them on the baking pan and sent them into the fiery oven to bake!! Before it even came out, the cookie aroma slipped out and it felt so heavenly and felt a little sense of accomplishment. It's those kinda smell u usually get when u walk past famous amos...hmmm...famous nicholas..sounds nice no?
Tasted the first batch of cookies and fiona said tt it was too sweet!! argh!! Tt sounded like a dagger piercing mi heart..and when jas took a bite..she echoed wad fiona said and i could feel the dagger going in a little more and when seok and zixu also agreed...the dagger pierced right through mi heart....argh..heart pain..the taste of failure in mi mouth...
I tasted it..and i said..ok wad..trying to deceive miself but i guess i can't coz it was relly a little too sweet..then i waited for val's response..she's the last one to taste it..and she said..ok wad..not bad..eh i taste salt....wah...tt last phrase was like a samurai sword beheading half mi heart...i took another cookie and paid more attention to mi salty tastebuds and well i tasted tt part and suddenly, the words tt seok fun said earlier came to mind...
She said tt if i used mi bare hands to roll the dough, the cookies might get salty coz the salt might come from the sweat excreted from mi palms..and i laughed off tt suggestion earlier..argh..Haunted mi man...Well, i felt quite depressed and din relly wanna make anymore lar but din wanna waste the dough..they tried to console mi saying it's mi first time so it's ok etc..but i relly hate to fail..and at the same time i was puzzled by the saltiness..
Well, heck lar..zixu proceeded to cook his curry chicken and coconut rice but can tell tt he's not very satisfied by the final products but still they're nice compared to mi cookies..played some mahjong after tt and they relly play like ah ma man..take ancient years to tynk!! And soon it was 10 plus and we had to go home lar coz val and jas stay damn far esp val...Well, she was supposed to move to bukit timah area since feb and has delayed until now...hai..if she will only ask mi nicely..i'll help her threaten the guy renovating her hse to complete it by an earlier date..see? another use of mi precious loanshark looks...
WHen i reached home, i checked mi original recipe and i realised tt i shld have added 1/2 teaspoon of salt instead of 1 teaspoon!! see? wad a huge difference1/2 teaspoon of salt made to the taste of the cookies!! Roar!! I'll learn from mi mistakes and one day i'll make the nicest cookies in the whole world man...
