want your bathtub back to that original bright white?
use tilex sOaP SCUM remover! it's the BEST ever! i will never EVER go back to comet. i cleaned my bathroom from bottom to top, sides to sides, crevices in crevices last weekend with tilex (even on shower glass doors!) and windex. the pay off is: my bathtub is still bright WHITE! o YeaaaH! make sure you have good ventilation or you'll be on the verge of passing out.

yes, i'm a dork and a bit anal when it comes to cleaning. :P

you're HIRED!

some thoughts about the apprentice...
- bill won! no surprise there.
- quote of the season "omarosa is really smart but she's a space cadet." remark by kwame.
- i can't believe how an aggravating liar omarosa is!
- the casino man needs to get rid of his moustache.
- the donald needs hair help! you would think with all that money...



does this look familiar?! it's the palos verdes golf course we were at during byria's wedding! it's also trump's golf course which was offered to bill as a project location. luckily bill didn't pick it. apparently it's having erosion problems.

creme brulee? chocolate souffle? wee, wee!
i attempted these two desserts this past saturday. surprisingly, they turned out ok with all the mishaps. :P don't ask me why i choose to make the two "hardest" desserts. i guess it was the cries of "help me get rid of all this chocolate!","let's try my new torch!", and inspiration from watching QE (1 straight guy and 5...).

here are some baking tips:

creme brulee
1. make sure you have butane gas for the TORCH. a good substitute is to put the dish really close to the broiler at HI heat. make sure you watch the sugar!
2. have someone else separate the egg whites for you. thanks susan! :)
3. use real vanilla bean. 1lb = $380!! yup, i spent $4 on one little bean string but well worth it!

chocolate souffle
1. watch the chocolate VERY closely! i think we over cooked the chocolate and when we added the yolk and um....
2. add sugar AFTER you whip the egg whites. my bad!
3. don't under/over cook the souffle. it will still be liquidy if you under cook. :P

all in all, the creme brulee turned out really well sans the torch. the chocolate souffle, at first, was a disaster. BUT it POOFED! yay! that's what really counts.
both desserts turned pretty well-but what do i know? i've never ate them before. unlike some others on their romantic dates. ;P

i think i am on a baking craze...i just bought a springfoam pan set. 3 layer cake anyone? :P too bad i can't really bake at home. hm...i should start a personal baking service! anyone want to hire me? heh heh!

hmph! when i woke up today, i soon discovered it was april fool's day. thanks a LOT AREX!! did you know, he's engaged?! you can ASK him all about it! :P
happy AFD!
