Happy Birthday Clause Debussy

I always wish I could play piano. My parents couldn't afford to send me piano classes when I was a little girl. I always admire people who know how to turn a piano alive.

Yesterday was Clause Debussy's 151 years old birthday. I came home from work at 2 a.m. After 3 hours of karaoke with heavy rock songs, the tinnitus started to bug me in my ears! Debussy's music always calm me down...

Debussy plays Debussy: "Reflets dans l'eau"

CLAUDE DEBUSSY: CLAIR DE LUNE


Debussy: Arabesque I (1888)


Hope his music can help to relax your stressful mind..... Have a great day!

WOK & OVEN - soul therapy tools

I am not very good in sharing recipe actually. I always admire those food bloggers who have patience and talent. How do they manage to cook, bake at the same time take photos? How much time do they put into their blog? It really takes such en big effort to do and maintain it! I am only good in sharing photos on Facebook (fastest way to show off....hehehe) . Recently I have friends complained about this. Stop posting all food photos on Facebook, you make people slobbering, they said. Hmm... is it a complement or a complain?

I am not promising anything about this though because I do have other friends who like to see them. I will still post up my food photos according to that day's mood.

Last night after spending three hours with baking, at the same time taking photos during the process, I found it so tiring but FUN! The best part was, my baking turned up well and tasted good too! This really gave me the confidence to have a crazy idea... why not start writing another blog, just about my cooking and baking, for fun and sharing? 

Well, I don't have the best system camera to take perfect and beautiful photos like you read on the food magazine, or like those professional food bloggers. I don't have nice plates to put up my presentation. I don't know how to make the layout of my blog look inviting. What I have is my PASSION and TOUCH for food, do you think this is enough? 

The following photos here have been taken at different (trust me I have many more and you don't want me to put them up here all at the same time). I will try to write them in detail into this new blog later.

So, here is my new blog www.woknoven.blogspot.se.  The first recipe revealed what I had been up to late at night in the kitchen yesterday. :)
