Disaster baking with a good pillow!

It looks yummy isn't it! Been wanting to bake it coz I couldn't resist chocolate chips and crunchy cookies. So tomorrow seems to be a good day to meet the guinea pigs for cookies, especially my colleague will be in office and I am meeting my darlings. So I followed the recipe from the website. The murphy's law sets in.

1) I was making sure all ingredients are ready and they were. Butter, check. Sugar, check. Brown sugar, check, even baking power and vanilla essence, check. Then half-way through, I opened the fridge and omg, no eggs! Such a simple ingredients that was supposedly easily available! Had to beg my mum to borrow from my neighbour.

2) After making my first set, I conclude it's a FLOP! Being a lazy not-the-kind-who-loves-baking person, I conveniently used the self-raising flour (which I bought the other time for muffins). Big mistake because according to Joyofbaking.com, they are different, with different % of protein and the latter includes baking powder. Which means in my dough there are twice the amount of baking powder!

So baking is not joyous after all.

Something happy: went to Woodlands causeway points to buy my mum a new set of bedsheet, quilt cover and quilt for her new bed and mattress delivered tomorrow. I bought myself a new pillow! Jean Perry's (which according to mr xx is a not bad brand). Somemore it's a hotel kind, fluffy fluffy! Got 40% discount!I am gonna dump the seahorse memory pillow tonight~

Oh, my mummy bought the bedsheet for half the price! A set of queen fitted sheet and a quilt cover (of course got pillow case)for just $120 over. Sounds like a good deal to me. Quite a fair deals of discount and stamps exchange at John little at Woodlands!
