Chocolate Chip Cookies for June Holidays

Last night, I baked chocolate chip cookies for Qhaireen's classmates to celebrate the forthcoming June Holidays. For all 38 of them. Packed in a brown bag and ribbon and special card from Qhaireen.

This morning, she laden herself with 2 shopping bags full of the small brown paper bags. She called me from school a while ago, saying that everyone enjoys the cookies.

My hardwork has been paid off, by the smiling faces of the children.

My Precious One - Goodbye Pass, Hello Future

My freestanding range LaGermania has been with me since 2002. But on the day after I've baked Thasim's cinammon rolls, the outer glass panel of the oven gave way. Probably because it has had enough of my baking spree. The oven is still in good working condition, so as the four stoves, but I can't bake without the glass panel, although the oven has the inside panel still intact. Called the agent and they adviced that I do not bake without the outer panel, and if I want to replace it, it will take few months, because they have to order the parts from Italy. What a bummer!

I can't live without an oven! I feel incomplete! Days went by without an oven, seems so distressful! I love this oven, as it is attached with a sentimental value. But I do have to forget the pass and live for the future. Finally, with such a disheartning feeling, I've made 'the' Executive Decision. Without the oven, the freestanding has no soul. And it has to go.

Now, I have a new freestanding LaGermania! With 7 functions oven, and safety lock for the stove!

Now I can start baking again! Nice.
