Taisan bread ala Red Ribbon - ita try ko ito!

Ingredients
10 egg yolks
2 whole eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup plus 2 tbsps. cake flour
1 & 1/2 to two cups unsalted butter, at room temperature
granulated sugar for rolling

Directions preheat oven to 325F. with whisk, beat the egg yolks and whole eggs until light and creamy. slowly sprinkle in the sugar while beating until sugar is well incorporated and batter is light and and lemony-colored, with the whisk leaving beater marks when you lift it up, and the batter forming thick ribbons. fold in the cake flour just until completely blended in. pour into well-buttered loaf pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and toothpick inserted comes out clean. let cool five minutes and carefully remove from the pans, using a thin sharp knife edge and lifting with a spatula. spread softened butter–as much as can be absorbed all over the loaves, then roll in granulated sugar while still warm. note: you can also bake in muffin tins

Banyo counter top

Heto naman ang counter top ng banyo. Super duper laki ng pagbabago.

Dati, isa lang ang sink. Ngayon, meron na kaming HIS and HERS na vessel bowl. Sosi!

Gara din ng nilagay na pow-set. Kita mo ba?

Heto ang panalo.. tingnan mo ang AFTER na shot... meron hdtv sa wall! Hahahha. Pinaglaban talaga ni G yan. Kaya ngayon, mas matagal pa ang nilalagi nya sa banyo kumpara sa akin. Putek!

Heated floors din yan! Kaya during winter time, panay ang tambay namin sa kitchen/dining area.

Super proud ang watashi dyan! Para ka kamong nasa spa pag nandyan ka sa loob.

Renov started ng May. Umabot hanggang Oct. 4 hrs per day lang magtrabaho ang contractor namin. Pero worth it ang pag intay.

Tinanggal ang carpet, at pinalitan ng hard wood floors. Bamboo ang ginamit namin. Cutie no?
