啱啱返到嚟德國，Ducati一直都努力工作，早出晚歸。
講得好聽啲佢怕我一個人喺屋企悶，講得難聽啲之唔係唔抵得我得閒囉。
於是佢呢兩日就係咁問我︰你會唔會焗蛋糕過嚟俾我地﹖
終於尋日就焗咗個Brownie過去，網上搵到兩個簡單好用既食譜︰
第一個係嚟自Shirley@原味生活的食譜。
材料︰
- 無鹽牛油 125 g
- 煮食用朱古力 (有糖) Cooking Chocolate (sweetened) 240g
- 砂糖 100g
- 幼鹽 3/4茶匙
- 大蛋 3隻
- 低筋麵粉 (Cake Flour) 90g
- 可可粉 (無糖) 20 g
- 入爐用朱古力粒 50g
製作方法於網誌上有詳細解說。
第二個食譜係由
Cookie + kate 所載。
材料︰
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch slices
- 1¼ cups pure cane sugar
- ¾ cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon espresso powder or very finely ground coffee (optional)
- 2 cold large eggs
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup white whole wheat flour (or flour of choice)
- 2 ounces dark or semi-sweet chocolate, roughly chopped (or ⅓ cup chocolate chips)
材料大同小異，不同既係做法，在網頁上有解說。
首先要煮牛油，在爐上將牛油煮成金黃色，煮好嗰陣牛油中會有啡紅色既沉澱物。(記得要不時攪拌) 用意為何，我仲未搵到。
第二係佢冇做到，我自己喺Martha Steward既網頁中搵到既，就係先將雞蛋同糖用打蛋器打10分鐘，變成淡黃色後再加入朱古力漿內，焗出嚟既brownie表面就特別鬆化。甚至一邊加蛋，一邊用打蛋器打發，打得越耐，焗出嚟就會越鬆脆。但係一定要喺落麵粉之前打發，落麵粉之後要輕手拌勻，否則會起筋。
結果我用咗第二個食譜，效果就更Chewy。
I think this is the very significant moment of why Tiffany met Ducati. Because at some point during my interest exploring, I have turned my music taste from Classics to Classics mixed with Pop elements, or some say it's P-Opera. It started from musicals, Andrew Lloyd Webber (Joseph and the magic multicolored Coat) and Sarah Brightman, to Bond and Maksim.
I put Maksim at the end because he really put an end to the development, til now. Unbelievable!
10 years has passed since his first album. Whenever his music is in the air, I can still find the same feeling like I first met him and his music. Tonight I was at his concert, and I still feel so much excitement in my body that I could hardly hold it down.
Agnes and I were sitting at the $580 section, but still we are hardly close to the stage. The setting of the concert is pretty much like a band's concert, as in an exhibition hall. Points lost at the beginning I have to say, and I feel sorry to feel it but it's my true feeling: simplified Chinese characters at the backdrop.
Since I couldn't wait til he got changed and ready for signing (CDs), I will have to say what I would like to say if by any chance I would meet him personally.
Dear Maksim,
Thank you so much for giving my 10 fruitful and amazing years with your music. I brought your music to most of the places where I have been to. Your music has walked with me through ups and downs, laughter and tear. I love, love, love your music because there are so much passions and enthusiasm withhold. When I first heard your music, I have gained a great deal of power and strength from it. I still remember those sleepless nights for getting exams and papers done, I always had your music running, as your music is the BEST motivation booster. Today at your very live concert I can feel them again. An emotion so strong, that it is like a wall pushing against me so I can't breathe, that it burns my body inside out like fire. I saw your sweat, and I think I can feel your heat, from you and from your music. I hope you would keep up with your talent and hard work so we can have more chance to embrace your music world.
Love.
Seriously, when other audience were feeling cold and having their jackets on, I was complaining (without my jacket of cos) that it's so warm inside. But then, I was pretty excited during the concert, not a single one relaxing moment. He was putting all those very very heavy and exciting pieces in the concert, and he encored twice!!!!!!! Bloody hell! The last piece, pure Flight of Bubble Bee! It was amazing. So amazing that even he had to smile, with so much charm. When I went into the hall, I was still thinking I spent quite some money for one single concert and that maybe according to the value of my sister, my money was pointlessly wasted. But after I heard him trying to catch his breath when he talked, after I saw him sweating inside out with 10 dozen tempo, I know I haven't wasted a penny at all. What's more important is that he, as a person, having such an influence on the stage. I mean after so many years of piano training, how many musician can climb on this stage among so many around the world. He stood on this stage with such a wonderful band and never worried for one moment that he would be overshadowed or outshone.
Oh! By the way, I love his very deep and soft voice.
and I think that's too long and that's all. I wish he has a good journey flying back home.
Please come back soon.
