First of all, just want to apologize for being away for so long...in between my vacation, graduation, and starting work, haven't really gotten up to putting up a post. Forgive! So how's everyone doing??? Just thought i should share this basic cupcake recipe i got off the internet sometime last year. A lot of people tend to run in the other direction whenever baking is mentioned, but I for one think baking is loads of fun! Like I always say, BE BOLD! Never be too scared it wouldn't come out right and therefore won't even attempt it in the first place. If a batch doesn't turn out right, fret not...just try again some other time. No biggie!
Fried noodles with Chinese Chilli Stir Fry Veggies & Chicken
You befriend a girl and you find out she also likes food just like you do. So you give yourself an excuse to cook for her, well....just to impress! Fortunately it worked, cause the moment you are told (not once but twice by two different people) your food is better than that of the most popular and good restaurants in town then you know you did a good job.

The finger test
If you've ever been a med student like I have, you can imagine how excited I was when I came across this tip. This was one of the ways we were taught to determine the consistency of masses...if they were soft, firm or hard. Guess it's also a useful trick in the culinary world. Cool!

De-Stressing feast part 3: Banana Lassi
Lassi, a milkshake or smoothie like drink which originated from the Punjab regions of India and Pakistan, are traditional yoghurt based shakes in either sweet or salted. It is made by blending yoghurt with water and Indian spices but you can have all sorts of variations, so I decided to make a Banana Lassi with a little twist. Feel free to experiment and have a little fun with your Lassi. This great drink ended our feast on a very good note, it did a great job pushing down the Red velvet Cupcake.
A few tips...
Found this pretty insightful...a few things to know about herbs and spices...
Herbs and Spices
Storage Tips:
Store spices in a cool, dark place. Humidity, light and heat will cause herbs and spices to lose their flavor more quickly. Although the most convenient place for your spice rack may be above your stove, moving your spices to a different location may keep them fresh longer.
