It is okay not to be okay: Baking session with Bess

Bake with friends Check! I've always wanted to bake with my friends. Working together to make something eatable is definitely fun.

Bess is so busy with her works at her steamboat shop after finishing her A level. She was my housemate last year. She is smart, pretty and friendly. She is the one who got 10A+ and also JPA scholarship. I like to hang out with friends who make me comfortable to talk to. Bess is definitely the one of them! I remembered she always asked me to share foods she brought from Miri and study with her. Memories... I am really glad to have her as my housemate last year. Luckily we still keep in touch.

We managed to have a baking session today. I know she can bake very well like macarons, buns and cakess so i asked her to teach me the ways to make macarons. Macarons is very hard to make even Bess failed 5 times! I was surprised when i heard that. I think maybe there are some steps we have to really take care of. Patience is vital while baking. You have to make sure the cream is whipped and some steps you have to do it gently. The cookies of macarons have to stand for half an hour. We thought we was going to fail this time cos the cookie can't be sticky after half an hour. Fortunately, it worked after an hour. Thank God. Lol. So then we made green tea filling and used some cream cheese filling that she made last time. I am satisfied with the macarons we made even though there are some cracks. The way Bess bake is kind of different. She goes free style. She didn't plan everything before hand. What she bake depends on what's in her fridge. And one thing that is different is that she didn't take out every ingredients before she baked but while she is baking. But i used to take everything out before i bake cos i always feel so lost in the middle of baking. lol.

She is going to UK for studies in September soon. I am glad to catch up with her after so long.To me, she is a happy pill who got weird laughter and deep dimple. Hopefully we can meet up more often after this.
