Betty Crocker's Chocolate Brownies D.I.Y

Argh..it's been quite some time since I last bake. I was really lazy though. Me, on a peaceful Sunday, just wanted to laze around the house doing nothing. NOTHING AT ALL.

I was convinced by Mummy to bake since there will be no breakfast for Monday. She wanted carrot cake, but I find it too tedious. After all, I'm just lazy to shred the carrots.

Hence, I made brownies. To be exact, Betty Crocker's Chocolate Brownies. My ex-colleague, Erizna, introduced this to me. She is a wonderful cook. She can bake very well, really! I wondered if she still does bake in Australia.

Let's get the ingredients ready:

• Betty Crocker's Chocolate Brownies prepacked mix. (I only managed to find this in Cold Storage)
• As stated on the back of the box, prepared 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, 3 tbsp of water, 2 or 3 eggs.
• Extra ingredients as you desired. I put in walnuts and extra chocolate chips.

The Main Ingredients


Walnuts and Chocolate Chips (ooppss..it's blurred)

Follow the steps below:

Step 1. Place the eggs into a mixing bowl and beat them until fluffy.



Step 2. Add in Betty Crocker's Chocolate Brownies Mix.

Step 3. Add in oil and water.



Step 4. Lastly, add in your desired ingredients.



Step 5. Grease the pan. I used a 8x8" pan. Soon after, transfer the mixture into the pan.



Step 6. Put in to bake. Adjust the setting to be plus minus 160C, for about 30-50 minutes. These settings actually depends on your oven's condition. The best of all is to observe the baking condition from time to time and re-adjust your setting.



And tadaa..this is the final product!



Hope you've enjoy today's baking session. Lolz. I'm boosting myself and made myself cheeky. Haha..

Anyway, hope you will try to make this one day. Add in more chocolate chips if you want it to be chocolaty.

Tschus~

Wish Upon A Heart

Stumbled upon a lovely cup cake on one of the weekend's morning. I wasn't really paying attention to this as I just wanted to have something for breakfast, until Baby Cheng said "Jie, look at this. It's a love shape raisin."

Love Shape Cup Cake. It is my current wallpaper.

Wow..that really cute. Mommy bought cup cakes from Baker's Cottage as one of our snack-y bites. Never had we come across a lovely one.

Hmm. I wondered - It's the beginning of a wonderful day.

An Outing With Riddick

An outing again. This time, Baby Cheng is diligently studying at home. Bro just came back from Vietnam on Friday (which means he is earning a lot of money to spend! ..hehehe..), so both of us went out for a movie and some shopping in KLCC.

Discussing about movie, do you think "G.I. Joe" is good? I did not receive really good comments about the movie. First, CatFish said he watched it for the action. Second, MengYee said the storyline is silly a.k.a. childish, nothing much by the way. She recommended "District 9" instead. Alien? Hmm..she sure has a certain taste in movie, and since the movie is new, so both of us decided to go for it.

District 9 Movie Poster

"District 9" was indeed quite different from my liking. Science fiction, thriller, action. A little bit bored in the beginning, but until the end, it is action packed. Quite interesting for me! Check out IMDB for the review and ratings.

Okay. It's confession time. I did some shopping today. However, the money was spent wisely, a good investment, i would say. BOOKS.

There is an advertisement on today's The Star newspaper about the Malaysia's Bookfest in KLCC Convention Centre. So I thought, it's a good time for me to get the rest of the Twilight Saga series, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. Eventhough I've already completed reading them, I do think it's worthwhile to collect a complete series. Nonetheless, Stephenie Meyer is good.

Here's my complete Twilight Saga series.

Twilight Saga Series - Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn.

Besides getting those, we bought these as well. OF COURSE, at a discounted price.

From top left - The Innocent Man, The Six Sacred Stones for Riddick, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn, The Memory Keeper's Daughter, The Wind-up Bird Chronicle for Shookie and cook books for Mommy.

I've yet to complete the two books which I had bought from Kinokuniya a few weeks back. Guess all these books are going to keep me occupied and grounded at home. No more shopping. It's time to stay at home and be a good girl.
