Sweet Motivational Treats on a Monday

Hi Tea Set at TCC

Hi Tea Set at TCC

Tasty foods and sweet treats have always a motivator for me. I look forward towards the weekend when I can eat out and try various different foods at recommended cafes and joints.  During one of the weekends out with R we went on a tea date at TCC while the kids were all over their grannies for the afternoon.

Having time to  spent with him without the kids is something which I really look forward to. Time spent as a couple is time which I really treasure. It’s really difficult to get time away from the kids without  and with R traveling for work so often it’s extremely difficult to schedule couple time. Time is really very precious for me.

Besides having the kids as my motivators, one of my motivators is counting down the days till I meet up with R again.
Absence does make the heart fonder and it works as a push to get me working hard to achieving my goals.

Does the potential to spend  time together with your love one motivate you?

Fresh Bread on a Friday

A few weeks back I decided to make good my promise to my friend V and Chef W that I will do some bread baking after completing my bread baking class in June 2012.   I’m starting it slow by doing a Victorian Milk loaf bread as my first bake for the year.

It takes an awful long time to bake bread as compared to making cake. I had to prepare the poolish in the morning and wait till the evening before I could start on the bread. It takes 8hrs for the poolish to be ready and another 3 hrs for the bread to be proof and ready for baking. It was nearly midnight when I placed the bread in the oven to be baked.

It turned out great and the kids and R loved eating it with jam for breakfast the next day.

Have you been doing any baking this week?
