These are two recipe books from my cook books collection. The book on the right hand side is a very old book, it is almost as old as my eldest daughter.

Our Workshops' Exhibition At Burwood Library On The 25th November 2014
Yesterday was the opening day for our workshops exhibition at Burwood library at 5:30pm. The Mayor of Burwood gave a speech to mark the opening of the exhibition. All the tutors were present except our Chinese painting tutor 'cos he had muddle up with the date of the exhibition. Lucky for him that I gave him a call asking him for his whereabout. If not, we all have to wait till Kingdom come for his arrival. All was good in the end, was tired due to helping to mount the art work the whole morning but happy.
White honeycomb rice pudding/白唐糕
Whenever I see this rice pudding it brings back lots of bitter sweet memories of my younger days. This is the kuih that grandma used to sell at her backlane store. If you are interested in the making of this pudding, you can pop over to http://roseskitchen.wordpress.com/

A Half Treble Herringbone 'n A Chevron Stitch Cowl
You can called me a cowl fanatic, I like cowl regardless whether it's a small and just fitting one or long huge one. You don't have to worry about it being blown off by the wind or fall off when you bend down and it keeps you warm too.
Starburst Cowl
My inner child must have knocked her head when she was out playing 'cos both of us were seeing stars for a while. Here is a starburst cowl that I've made for a very dear friend.
