qingling,
Thanks for the compliments but my bakes are only good for personal consumption.
Wrt bread colour, it really depends on the ingredients used. If you use more eggs, the end result will be a yellowish bread. Like what XY suggested, you may substitute water with milk. However, do note that not all recipes can change like this. I tried one recipe and the end result is horrible.
tubao,
I prefer to bake in the day, with the kids around. I get them involved in preparation too, even dd3
I tried a few times to bake at night when all kids are sleeping but sometimes dd3 not too cooperative, will wake up for comfort nursing so it's very disruptive.
XY,
My mom can't bake too, only my eldest sister bakes (last time) and she has so many cook books! I was still a little girl when she does all those baking years back. I aspire to be like her when I grow up.
I can't sew, can't even sew a button well
Look unsightly but at least the button won't drop off lah.
Blueberries
All my 3 kids love blueberries. Last time 1 punnet good for 2 kids, now not enough. Needs to give them 2 punnets. Carrefour had similar promo @ < $2 per punnet, but promo over leow. Usual price at NTUC is $2.90. I usually stock up when there's an offer, freeze and use for my bakes.
Cherries,
Was at Carrefour over the weekends and they were having offer for fresh cherries at $8.50 per kg! I bought 2 kg as my kids love cherries too
