These aren’t your usual nuts, not really. They may resemble Brazil Nuts but they are possibly one of the nicest things around. These are jackfruit seeds, boiled in water with a dash of salt. The interior is a soft white texture similar to boiled nuts. I love the taste of jackfruit seeds. Anyone has any idea where I can buy these in bulk in Singapore?

Anyway, what is your favourite drink at Starbucks?
Over here for me, it’s got to be the Green Tea cream Frappuccino. I still remember when they first came up with the drink a couple years back, they offered me a free sample (small cup, like the sort you pee in when you go for a health check) and it tasted quite nice. However the skeptical me at that time thought it was one of those drinks you get sick of when you hit the 6ounce mark, and just brushed it off.  I revisited the drink a couple of weeks ago and fell in love with it. Yes, it is cream-based (i.e. fattening), but I really like it! It’s got this nice green tea flavour, without being bitter. Compared to the other non-coffee frappes Starbucks sell, this is my favourite.

And talking about Starbucks, I remember the time when I went to Starbucks at Raffles City with my friend Angela, the Starbucks addict. I ordered a Tall (smallest size in Starbucks) green tea frappe and she took a look at the creamy green substance and went “so cute!” Apparently she has never really ordered a Tall drink before; she does Venti (largest size, 20ounces) all the time, so she thought a small transparent cup filled with creamy green sludge was “cute”. Hoho. And I’ve been teasing her ever since, about how she never orders small drinks. Heh.

No worries, I did not suddenly learn to read Japanese. A friend supplied me the links (in hope that I’ll include such things in my cooking adventure). -ponders-  

Anyway, I tried the Benny and Joon way mentioned previously, and here’s a coverage of it.

The bread before the ironing. (I quartered a piece of white bread so as to not waste time and material in my experiment.) On the left is a set to be used with aluminium foil, and on the right to be used with baking paper.

Here is the bread after ironing at highest heat setting (linen on my iron) for about 1 minute (actually, keep the iron there long enough till bread browns to your liking). The bread might be little flattened, but it is no big issue. And the taste is great, for bread is not charred and not too dry. Great method for breakfast if you don’t own a toaster.

And I just realized I might have took a photo a of ghost. Look at the first picture on the top left hand corner. Doesn’t the clutter look like a face peeking from under the table? Should I be freaked out? Maybe not.
