Banana Cheese Cake

I don't have the luxury of attending classes as and when I feel like it. I need to make sure that hubby's travel schedule doesn't clashed with the date that I committed to and someone must be babysitting my kids for I don't trust my helper. She has no maternal instinct in her.

I am blessed to have friends who understand my position and are really good to me by sharing their wonderful recipes with me. Thus, that explains why sometime I cannot publish those recipes. I cannot betray their trust.

When I found out a baking school nearby and classes are in the afternoon, I was overjoyed as it falls on days that my son is having his tuition.

It also helps that son's tutor is responsible and I feel at ease leaving them at home during that time. She is committed and I have trust in her that she will fulfil her responsibility wholeheartedly.

It was a nightmare locating the school. I left the address at home and there isn't a way to find a phonebook nearby. I made two calls hoping that they are at their desk so that they can log online for me but no luck.

I was desperate as I was going to be late. Luckily, I found a bakery and the lady was kind enough to direct me.

After registering myself, I settled down and was relatively surprised that there were only 3 students and yet the teacher didn't cancel the class. The teacher is very experience. Perhaps too experience for me as I struggled to follow her instruction. I didn't even realise that I missed a step for one of the recipe till the next day.

I brought home some cake samples that the teacher gave us and it turned out that my kids and hubby liked them.

Personally I still find it a little too sweet.

What I learnt must put into practise right? So today, after fulfilling my cupcake commitment, I baked Banana Cheese Cake.

With the reduced sugar, it fits perfectly with a cup of tea or coffee. Yeah... this is what I call a good afternoon break.

Note: I won't be sharing this recipe as the teacher is still teaching this.

This morning, we were doing grocery shopping as a family. Actually I love doing grocery as a family because I have extra help in managing the bags. Secondly, the family gets to pick their own favourites. Thirdly, the tasks are divided so we spent half the time in the supermarket which is great. On our way home, my dear boy said he wanted to help me cook dinner. I was shocked and yet happy. Finally he is a grown up boy. With my supervision, these are what he presented on the dinner table. Perhaps food done by own effort tasted better as he was the first to finish dinner. LOLz.

  Definitely not bad for a first timer in the kitchen. Well done son and keep it up. While the kids had son's cooking. We had this ....

  Remember I told you that my neighbour is from Penang and she said she knows how to cook Penang Prawn Noodle. Well today she gave us a huge bowl of Penang Prawn Noodles! It was so good that I just have to ask how she does it. Do remember to check out this little blog of mine as I hope to attempt this soon. It was simply irresistable. I feel so lucky ....
