Happy Valentine's Day

This year, I got a small picture-book card for my darling for Valentine's Day. It is not about love but about my feelings that I always want to stand by him to support him. Actually, I got it a month ago because it was just the card I wanted! hehe :)

What did you get your honey for Valentine's Day?

Anyways, Friday was a holiday (National Foundation Day) and today I am taking a day off again. Unfortunately it is raining cold today, expecting snow in the afternoon X(

Will be back with our renovation updates the next time!

Bye for now!

Love Heart Chocolate Corn Dogs for Valentines Day

Looking for a cute non-sweet chocolate recipe for Valentines Day?!

This is non-sweet cocoa taste corn dogs. I created this for my darling who LOVE's sausage but not the sweets :)

I used Hot Cake Mix for the batter to save time. Hot Cake Mix is a product from Japan to cook pancakes. I am sure it is available at Asian grocery stores overseas. FYI: Morinaga and Showa is famous for the Mix.

---------------------------------
Love Heart Chocolate Corn Dogs

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 15min
Number of servings: 10 corn dogs

Ingredients:
A
* 50g (1.7oz) hot cake mix
* 1/2 egg
* 1 tsp. cocoa powder
* 30cc water or milk
10 sausage (10cm/4in long)
vegetable oil for frying
ketchup

Directions:
1. In a bowl, mix A well.





2. Cut a sausage diagonally and join the cut sides reversely with a toothpick to look like heart.



3. Dip the heart-shaped sausages in the batter and deep fry at 170C (340F) until golden.




4. Carefully remove the toothpicks and serve with ketchup.





My original recipe in Japanese is here.

Renovation Updates: 2nd & 3rd Week

The 1st week was simply the torn down. Although there were some issues on our renovation plans, everything is going fine now.

Last week, we couldn't visit our place but the contractor kindly sent us some updates for 2nd & 3rd week.

Bathroom and pipings were placed.



Kitchen side walls were made to hide the water pipes.



Windows were fixed.



Then the 4th week (this week) flooring will be done. It is time to choose the wallpaper!
