Cheese cake!!! No need to bake this time :D

I went to a party last weekend, which means I got to bake something AGAIN! Yay! I mean, right now bringing the desserts seems to have been my routine. I'm actually pretty happy about this- my baking has been finally approved, to some extent, and I need someone to share those calories when I just want to play with cream and butter so much <(￣︶￣)>
But as I didn't want to spend a whole day on a fancy protocol, I mean, recipe lol, I went for the NO-BAKE cheese cake. It was sort of like a pudding; the texture was built up by cream cheese, egg yolk and gelatin. It was SO simple- mix all the ingredient, pour on a shortbread crust, and let it cool down in the fridge for 4 hours till it doesn't flow. To make it more presentable, I spread some whipped cream topped with fresh blueberries. The recipe is as follow, still in Chinese, though...http://www.xiachufang.com/recipe/1074414/
Btw, all my friends loved my cheese cake. (I heard "btw" in English actually means "Wait, I'm going to say the most important thing XP)

First bread in my new kitchen: Thomas Keller's multigrain batard

Follow my blog with Bloglovin Isn't spring the moving season? Yes, to me I guess as I've been moving for two years in a row at this time of year. Sadly I finally moved out from the glorious upper east side of New York after being there for 4 years (can't believe! is it that long already??), to the "humble" Queens.. However, after I moved in, I'm starting to love my neighborhood. There is actually quite a few to explore and to discover (I mean, hmm, restaurant) in Queens. Indeed, I can't just improvise to make a call to order some Chinese food delivered to my door, or walk to the French bakery a few blocks away whenever I want. Luckily I can opt to make my own.  With a good multigrain bread, some jam/spread, slices of good cheese, I am considering myself having a perfect breakfast/brunch. Of course, the world is even better if there is a cup of tea :) Multigrain batards are the most frequently-ordered bread I do in store- they're crust...

How to feed A BOYFRIEND when you have no intention to cook

I had almost given up cooking before my boyfriend! I've always been enjoying spending time in the kitchen, but, often time, I just gave in to my laziness. Plus, I had my perfect excuses: 1. I'm a busy phD student; 2. I'm spending most of my "kitchen time" baking. So I'm really used to a rather simple meal plan myself: homemade bread for breakfast, salad for lunch and yogurt for dinner. (I try to balance the protein and starch in it, so, don't worry, I can totally be filled up.) With all my passion (and time), I made bread for myself and cakes for friends. However, all these routine somehow changed when I started to take on the responsibility to feed someone- someone who is an ultimate meat lover, who hates salad (I mean, all the green leaves), who would never join my meal plan. Alas, the game completely changed- only I'm still the lazy girl as I've always been. So I came up with a couple of tricks for the "game": 1. Make it simple...

The lesson from those pancakes, ur... green tea crepe cake, I mean, Green Tea Mille Crêpes

I don't know if it's just the hypes among us trendy New Yorkers, but suddenly all my friends are talking about this bakery called Lady M. It even become a must-try activity in my friends' list when some of them come to NYC. So I can't help but wonder, what's the magic about Lady M? Of course as a phD. student who solves problems by trying them out (rephrase: as a FOODIE who cannot resist to try anything yummy), I waited in the line and finally got to try their signature Green Tea Mille Crêpes. It was worth waiting, the cake was nice with my favorite green Tea and an interesting texture.  However, are all the hypes and craziness about this cake really worthy? I wasn't sure... I was expecting something heavenly. Then I looked up their webpage and saw their description about the cake: Fine green tea powder is infused into every element of our delicate Green Tea Mille Crêpes, a sight to behold with no less than twenty lacy thin crêpes enveloping the light...
