Pi Pi's kitchen adventures

It's CNY next week!!! And I have not finished my springcleaning nor made my CNY cookies... been wanting to start on my cookies this week but it's quite difficult to find a time where I can bake my stuff peacefully, i.e. no pi pi climbing up chairs/tables or crying on the other side of the child safety fence outside the kitchen.

Last night after dinner, I decided to try my hand at making almond butter cookies. I was so engrossed getting my ingredients together and it suddenly occurred to me that I had not been checking on pi pi.... fret not.. haha.. there she was... huddled in a corner of the kitchen, frowning intently at the measuring cup and cookie cutter in her hands, with all my baking utensils and baking chocolate strewn over the floor.



Haha!! Now I know how to keep her busy and the best thing is... I can start to bake in the day! So far I have been doing all my baking around midnight, after the kids sleep... and I become a zombie the following day.. :)

Pi Pi having fun with the whisk...


helping mummy pack groceries into the refrigerator...


checking on the pastries in the oven....


and... "OOOH!!"... pointing to the sea salt she had spilt while rumaging through my baking cabinet


Amazingly, pi pi sat quietly in that same corner, whisking her imaginery chocolate fudge cake, for more than an hour!! I think I will teach her to bake her own animal cookies after CNY :) :)
