Snail Rolls Recipe~

By request of Nabby J, here is my very own Snail Rolls recipe you can try at home. I first attempted to make this mini-breads few months back I think I've posted the photos of em too on this very blog~ Below are the required ingredients and directions to bake your own Snail Rolls:

Snail Rolls with Butterscotch Chips

Ingredients

• 500g all-purpose/wheat flour
• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 1/2 tspn salt
• 2 tspn sugar
• 1 tspn baking yeast
• herbs (basil&parsley, for salty rolls) or raisins/blackcurrants & allspice (for sweet rolls) or chocolate/butterscotch chips
• hand-hot water, as required
• vegetable oil/any fats to be rubbed on the surface of dough pan/container

Instructions

1. Mix the eggs and hand-hot water lightly together to make 300ml in a measuring jug.
2. Add together the flour, salt, sugar, yeast and your choice of either herbs (eg parsley/basil), raisins/blackcurrants and allspice or even chocolate/butterscotch chips. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until you get a breadcrumb-like mixture.
3. Make a well out of the flour mixture and pour the eggs in the middle of it. Then, work the two until you get a soft-textured dough.
4. On a floured surface, knead the dough for 10 minutes and cut the dough into any numbers you'd prefer (in my case, usually I would get around 16 pieces of rolls) and then roll the dough into the shape of a snail.
5. After rolling them all, keep the dough pieces in an air-tight container and leave for an hour to rise.
6. Bake at the temperature of 220 deg Celcius for around 15++ minutes (best to observe the bakings, you can tell that their done when the rolls' color turns medium brown).

Happy baking and all the best :)

I Want Love (Elton John)

I want love, but it's impossible
A man like me, so irresponsible
A man like me is dead in places
Other men feel liberated

I can't love, shot full of holes
Don't feel nothing, I just feel cold
Don't feel nothing, just old scars
Toughening up around my heart

But I want love, just a different kind
I want love, won't break me down
Won't brick me up, won't fence me in
I want a love, that don't mean a thing
That's the love I want, I want love

I want love on my own terms
After everything I've ever learned
Me, I carry too much baggage
Oh man I've seen so much traffic

So bring it on, I've been bruised
Don't give me love that's clean and smooth
I'm ready for the rougher stuff
No sweet romance, I've had enough

KOJIRA~

This brings back memories to my childhood days...

I remember when I was fed to these kinda of music ~ those music by Korn, the Deftones, Slipknot, System of A Down... etc.. then suddenly, in MiRC I met a friend who had the same interest in music as I was lol. I was 14 then, and Eugene was 15? We go way back and up until now, we've never meet each other face-to-face yet. Lol. Brace yourself, EUGNE, I'm a very hot wife of someone... (prasan mode: ON).

Back to our topic, well, EUGNE has a band, and I cannot believe how good their songs are~ I guess they have a Korean-metal concept in their music, and yeah, they're good!! So proud of you, EUGNE!!!! :)

Here's the link to Kojira (Eugne's band) music: http://www.kojira1.com/

I enjoyed it, honestly~ Go check it out, yo!

Word of the Week: Heartbreak

These few days, I've encountered the word 'heartbreak' if not 'heartbroken' a bit too often. I saw 'em on tv, in the papers, on the net..
I was watching 'Royal Pains' last night, and the episode touched on a new 'Japanese' medical term, 'tako-tsubo' which was some kind of situation, (if I'm not mistaken) whereby the heart feels squeezed very tightly that causes cardiac problems. Tako tsubo, translated in English, 'octopus trap', is exactly how the heart would look like during the attack. This is usually caused by stress, most of the time due to emotional depression. It is also known as the 'brokenheart' syndrome.
To me, this sounded pretty familiar, because I believe I have witnessed this situation before.. I think one of my friends might've had this before, because she was deeply emotional over a guy and she actually fainted one day.
Another friend might've experienced this as well. She'd call one night telling me that her chest is in pain after something went bad in her personal issues.
It's a mystery how we can feel the physical pain out of emotional distress. I guess that's why they call it 'heartbreak', kan? I've experienced this as well, but oh so many times before. It's like disappointment beyond repair. Felt as though the heart won't ever be able to be mended at all (more exaggeration, please!). I'd get these pain, then I'd throw up everytime after the episode. After that, half of my burden would disappear.

Heartbreak. Now we know there's not much of metaphore in that term.

Kiss kiss

Disappointment - I'm never good enough for you.

 "Chill," friends would tell me, when I'm in distress, as I'd be disappointed with something.

 "I'm disappointed with you," one would tell me. It hurts. Like crazy.

 I feel this. It just swooshed away, hurting me bad. From limb to limb...

 They ridicule disappointment. They ignored my disappointment. Yet they tell me over and over again how disappointed they are of me. 

At present, it's the BEST gift I've ever had. It made me cry a whole lot. Worry a bunch more.

I got migraines from all the worrying. Stress. Tensed. You name it. I got it.

That's how a big, how huge, how GREAT disappointment is as a gift in my present.

Emo Mode: ON

unburnt

I was frying fried rice for Chee Sin a moment ago.. And thought to myself, "other people would try hard not to get whatever their frying burnt. And I'm here waiting to get this fried rice to get burnt."
Burnt fried rice is yummy bah!
