Banana Pancake



 

We like pancake, fast and easy making. With the super ripe bananas, we try to make this. It turn good, Ethan and Emmanuel like it. Even Egracia the one who doesn’t like banana at all also eat half peice.

Mummy : “Didi, use spoon to eat the pancake….” I haven’t finishing my words, his fingers already in the cream.  I always remind these 2 boys, “first seek to understand by using your mouth”, and then you will get to know what to do next. I remembered when I was a kid I always been told that I acted like a ‘fat-finger’, like to touch this and that and sometime even spoiled thing or caused troubles. A tag of Impatient person, curious to thing and too hurry for the answer.

Dear little boys at home, let learn together to hold a little and get the hang of art about ‘listen, speak and do’, for sure it able to assist us to handle our daily life needs. As God knowing us so well from day one and clearly spelt it in the bible.

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry (James 1:19)

我亲爱的弟兄们，这是你们所知道的。但你们各人要快快地听，慢慢地说，慢慢地动怒。雅1:19

Green Tea & RedBean Loaf

During the weekend, cooked red bean soup and it still kept in the freezer. Thought of get away to settle it. Then I found this green tea with red bean recipe. Due to the time constrain, this will be the good way to make a loaf than a single little cute bun. Without consider more, and we started on it. In the recipe required the egg size around 35g, but I have throw in a whole egg with 60g. While kneading the dough, it turns to be more sticky than usual.  I just try to add little by little bit more of flour and hope it turn smoother.  I can’t really measure how much flour added after little by little. But it looks better ….

After proof the dough around an hour, it already became double of its size. Roll it like a swiss roll and spread the red bean paste on the dough. A little of greedy, I try to fold in all red bean paste so I could finish off all left over in the freezer. Ooops… then I was thinking will I waste them if its burst out during baking time. Then place it in a well greased bread tin (I used salted butter to grease the tin), cover and let it proof for the second time for 30 mins and it raise around 70% of the tin size. I didn’t wait any longer and just start the oven for the baking course.

~Bake at 180c for about 35 to 40mins~

~5 mins on 200c~

(to get a litte browny and crunchier outer crust)

 

It suppose our next day morning breakfast, but ended up one third already went in our stomach for supper. Although there was little venture here and there and half way Egracia awoke from her after nap, this greeny loaf did tried its very best to become a true green in color, smell with little tea and with lot of red bean friends mingle around.

Chocolate milk with Avocado

After tried on the milky avocado, today we tried on Chocolate milk avocado. It is nice too. Ethan said it is like an ice-cream, Emmanuel eat without any complaint and finished all by his own. Avocado is a good fruit. I am glad they accepting the taste well. I am thinking, if to chill a little on the chocolate milk avocado, it should be tastier in the hot summer.
