Cranberry Rose Cookies （玫瑰蔓越莓曲奇）

圣诞即将来临，由于刚到新医院上班所以没什么心情和时间搞圣诞餐玩意。所以和家婆商讨了，依旧在我家吃圣诞晚餐，只是今年就不要大事铺张，简单就好。就连礼物我们都商量了暂停一年不要费心思送来送去，毕竟，该有的，要有的都拥有了。。。一切从简就是。

华人过年都是要做年饼才有过年的气氛，那么洋人庆祝圣诞节也少不了曲奇。 我原本以为这个玫瑰蔓越莓是个很女人的曲奇，特别给家婆做的，想不到我家老公也竟然很喜欢这款曲奇呢, 刚刚才吩咐了不准乘我不在把饼一扫而空！（老公自称是cookie monster）

我就在这里和大家分享这个很有佳节气氛又简单的曲奇。

 Ingredients;

100g caster sugar

200g unsalted butter

360g plain flour

1 egg

1/2 tbsp baking soda

3/4 cup dried rose petals (I used Pariya rose petals)

1 cup dried cranberry

2 tbsp water

1 tbsp rose water (I used Pariya rose water) (if u r using essence, use just 1/2tsp, rose water has milder flavour than essence)

Method:

1) Beat together butter and sugar until pale and creamy with electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment.

2) Add in egg and beat until well combine. Sift the plain flour and baking  soda together. Add the sifted flour into the butter mixture and mix well with lowest speed. Add in rose water and water into the mixture, beat under low speed until dough is form. (Do not over beat)

3) Take the dough out from the mixing bowl, on a floured surface, knead gently to fold in rose petals and dried cranberries.

4) Make into disc shape and wrap with glad wrap. Rest in the fridge for about 20mins

5) Using a cookie cutter to cut dough into preferred shape.

6) Bake in preheated  160C oven for 18-20 mins.

烫面班兰戚风 （Pandan Chiffon）

那天去了姐姐家里吃饭，看到她的桌上有两款不同口味的戚风，其中一个是pandan 另一个是芝士口味的。我就告诉她我从没做过pandan口味的戚风也没有做过烫面的。她就告诉我，她家就是这个食谱的戚风最受欢迎。“很容易的，我讲给你听，你一定能记得。。。三个五十， 50奶，50油，50糖， 粉70，三粒蛋。“哎，果然很容易记，回来趁脑袋的记忆犹新，快快把蛋糕做了。看过很多种不同做法的烫面，这个方法很简单，我只是把液体放入微波炉温热到40C就是了。喜欢这个戚风的软绵细致的组织。喜欢这个容易记得的三个50克的方程式。

今天正式去新医院上班，第一天的orientation听到累到半命。虽然做了几十年工，难免第一天有点难适应，心里一直想回家，一直在看手表。 。还要做功课，明天要考试tim！还有一大堆online training要做，我很烦啊！！明明就是预备回家做cookies的嘛，谁知道回到家已经累到不会煮饭了，还做什么cookies。。。呵呵！

Busselton Jetty is the longest wooden jetty (pier) in the southern hemisphere, stretching almost 2 km out to sea from the town of Busselton, Western Australia.

The Goose is situated directly on the waterfront in Busselton, offering exceptional view of Geographe Bay and Cape Naturaliste. We like to call in to the restaurant for breakfast on the way down south. （Jane & Melody)
