Durian Muffin

I have been wanting to bake durian muffins for such a long time. Today,I finally managed to find some time to get the main ingredient for my muffins...DURIAN!
The durian season seems to be around already, I bought durians in ready-packed form, 3 packets for $10. They were D24 type of durian, not bad also, the flesh were in bright yellow and tasted very sweet.
Durian muffin recipe:
Ingredients:
300g all-purpose flour
100g sugar
2 teaspoons double baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
75g butter, melted
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup milk
500g durian pulp
Method:
1.Preheat oven to 190 degC.
2.Melt butter over low heat in a saucepan. Set aside.
3.Separate durian pulp from seeds, mash slightly with a fork and set aside.
4.Add egg to the melted butter. Stir till combine. Add in milk and half of the durian pulp. Stir to combine.
5.In another bowl, combine the flour, sugar, double baking powder and salt. Use a spatula or whisk to mix the dry ingredients completely .
6.Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir only until the ingredients are just combined. The mixture will appear very lumpy. Do not over mix the batter otherwise the muffins will become tough.
7.Spoon batter into the muffin cups, filling half full. Add 1 teaspoon of durian pulp to each, top with remaining batter. Fill up with the remaining batter to about two thirds full.
8.Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

英语怎么说？

那天去扫墓后，老二正在用她的GalaxyS来sms. 忽然，她问我：“Mummy,扫墓，英语怎么说？“ 糟糕了，在我的字典里应该是 Qingming Festival or Tomb-Sweeping Festival？听起来好像怪怪的。我便对她说:"你写华文的清明节就好。”LOL

明天四月五日是清明节，是一个纪念祖先的节日。 主要的纪念仪式是扫墓和拔野草吧！扫墓活动通常是在清明节的前十天或后十天，有些人扫墓活动长达一个月呢。。。。。。

还记得小时的清明节，母亲，婆婆和叔叔都会带着我们去Senawang那儿祭拜公公。从没想过会有那么一天，来到星加坡的地方也要祭拜老公的父亲。只是送上鲜花以基督教的方式祭拜，就那么简单。

还记得清明的诗歌吗？ 清明时节雨纷纷,路上行人欲断魂。借问酒家何处有?牧童遥指杏花村。

如果有机会的活，我想去祭拜我的婆婆。。。。。。

What's pranks have u played on others?!

OMG! Today is April Fool Day. I am so bored, until I am reading my blog now, LOL!!! Let's talk about TEA today...
