oatmeal, more more more

i decided it's time i venture beyond cheesecakes

the next hassle-free non-bake item i can tink of:

OATMEAL COOKIES

*slaps anyone who dares say eeeeeeks*

*slaps PJ*

hur hur i=abusive, PJ=masochist. she's luving it :D

so recently i've been researching online, studying recipes and searching for the easiest most satisfying combination.

i settled on PEANUT BUTTER CASHEW NUT OATMEAL COOKIES

some might ask, why cashew? why not macadamia? or almond? or pistachio?

cos cashew's cheap LAH.

DUH *cheapskate chuckle*


my mom got a visiting fren to bring us some peanut butter frm taiwan

a very cheena-lookin peanut butter, ironically peanut butter originated frm e west :P

wat's so unique abt e peanut butter dat my mom specifically requested her fren to bring it over?

cos TW politician Ma Ying Jiu said it's terrific

my mom = sucker.

oh well i'd say it's overrated, it's very thick n nutty, but i guess i'm too used to the artificially sweetened n flavoured mass brands to appreciate peanut in its au naturel form hur hur

got myself the SUPER SLIM milk, it's not SKIM, it's SUPER SLIM

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
look! healthier choice wor.

me = sucker. it runs in e family.

it tastes like chalk water btw. go for full cream if u want a genuine dairy milk experience. if u often engage in self deception and like to pretend u're drinking sth when it aint anything.

go for super slim. like me.

my cheapskate cashew which i later found out to be a fatal mistake

and u noe how recipes alwayz use teaspoon and tablespoon as units of measurement?

teaspoon is easy.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
dis is a teaspoon.

but tablespoon? it is f*cking ambigious in a East-meet-West society like Singapore

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
dis can be a tablespoon

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
dis can also be a tablespoon

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
dis, can also be a tablespoon. well, they're all on e table.

ok, e last one's lame. but i cant decide btw e first 2. i figure porcelain r too delicate for angmoh :P

and guess wat?! i bought e wrong chocolate! i need chocolate CHIPS! these're labelled as 'choco drops' but looked more like choco CHUNKS to me!

i tink retailers take a sadistic pleasure out of misleading consumers.

nothing can get in cheng's way.

partner-in-crime. i cldnt find a hammer. at least both are equally destructive.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
i is genius :D

boiling the SUPER SLIM milk (i muz emphasize) and the brown sugar

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
e recipe stated add 1/2 cup butter

SIAO

dat's e same amt of brown sugar i'm adding and prob enough fats to last me the entire hibernation period in winter (under the hypothesis dat i'm a bear and winter exists in SG)

so i added butter, miser-style :D

oat oat oat. raw high fibre oat. smelling it makes me feel healthier :D

nutty peanut butter.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
dumping everything in.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
mixing + blending.

since i'm using raw oat i gotta boil it for 5min.

BUT

e amt of milk stated in e recipe dried up b4 e 1st min.

WTF

so i kept adding more milk. i rather eat soggy cookies than uncooked oat.

and why do i say cashew is a fatal mistake? well, w e excess milk + excessive cookin, it turned soggy. one thing i cant stand is soggy nuts argh

the end products. u wldnt wanna know how i shaped them.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
on a closer look.

the melted choco chip looks salivating.

but looks can be deceiving.
