Planned to make brownie at first.And I bought condensed milk instead of evaporated milk which is stated in the ingredients list of a recipe.Having the thought that they are actually the same, but the truth is THEY ARE NOT!
'Your brownie tastes nice,but...the texture is a bit....' haha~~that's the response my housmie gave when they first saw it. I know,it's a bit too soft and sticky, but the taste is actually NICE! ^^
Then,I asked for Tulip's help to save it! :P We put it into the pan and cooked the dough again.Okay~~this time, we added some digestive biscuits, hoping to modify it into 'kueh batik'.
We put it into the fridge for cooling.
Wake up on the next morning and I saw a 'hardened' cake! :) The only thing is,the look is not that appealing.Asked for Tulip help again~~~and...we came out with an idea!Decorate it with Ben's candies from the fridge! heehee~~ and here goes the end product! IT IS CUTE INDEED!
Actually it's not that easy as i think to make a cake.What to do is- TRY TRY TRY!never give up what you want easily! :D
And surprisingly, Padraig and Eamonn love my cake so much!!! and they finished it! woow! something I have never expected!! :PPP
[Maslenitsa (also known as Butter Week, Crepe week, or Cheesefare Week), is an Eastern Slavic religious and folk holiday. It is celebrated during the last week before Great Lent—that is, the seventh week before Eastern Orthodox Pascha (Easter). Maslenitsa corresponds to the Western Christian Carnival, except that Orthodox Lent begins on a Monday instead of a Wednesday, and the Orthodox date of Easter can differ greatly from the Western Christian date.
Maslenitsa has its origins in both pagan and Christian traditions. In Slavic mythology, Maslenitsa is a celebration of the imminent end of the winter.
On the Christian side, Maslenitsa is the last week before the onset of Great Lent. During the week of Maslenitsa, meat is already forbidden to Orthodox Christians, making it a myasopostnaya nedelya (Russian: мясопостная неделя, English "meat-empty week" or "meat-fast week"). It is the last week during which milk, cheese and other dairy products are permitted, leading to its other name of "Cheese-fare week" or "Crepe week". During Lent, meat, fish, dairy products and eggs are forbidden. Furthermore, Lent also excludes parties, secular music, dancing and other distractions from the spiritual life. Thus, Maslenitsa represents the last chance to partake of dairy products and those social activities that are not appropriate during the more prayerful, sober and introspective Lenten season.]
