Tomato & Olive Muffin
Recipe adapted from the book "500 cupcakes & muffins" by fergal connolly. Original recipe was for Tomato & Basil Muffins. They were a bit dry and lacked flavour. Although it was supposed to be a savoury muffin, I think a little sugar would have gone a long way. It tasted a lot like a foccacia tho so would make a good breakfast muffin.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
320g plain flour
2 tbsp baking powder
pinch of salt
4 lightly beaten eggs
125ml olive oil
320g tin condensed tomato soup
3 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 175C. Grease a 12 cup muffin tin.
2. In a medium bowl, mix the basil, flour, baking powder and salt with a spoon.
3. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, olive oil, soup and sun-dried tomatoes with an electric whisk until well combined. Mix the flour mixture into the soup mixture until just combined. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin. Bake for 20 minutes or until brown and cooked through.
My Notes:
I didn't have any sun dried tomatoes or basil, so I substituted with chopped olives and dried thyme. I also used mini muffin pans and it yielded about 30 of these babies.

Bacon Carbonara Recipe
I don't know why I never tried making Bacon Carbonara before. It's so simple and delish!
Whip some eggs in a bowl, add some cream or evaporated milk, grated Parmesan Cheese, lots of black pepper and salt. While the pasta is cooking, snip some bacon into small pieces and pan fry till crispy. Once the pasta is al dente, drain and add to the egg mixture and toss to coat. Sprinkle the bacon pieces on top and tuck in!

My Version of delectable Butter Crab
So this is my version of the delectable Butter Crab we oft see in restaurant menus. The first time I tried it was at the Mellba Seafood Restaurant. I tried to 'recreate' it as best as I could. Ingredients included Evaporated Milk, Chopped Chilli, Curry Leaves and Butter. I think I should've added more water to the sauce, cos it was really rich. The sauce is really nice with some crusty bread too.
We bought the crabs from Pasar (wet market) and our seller is great, they'll even kill, clean and chop the crabs for you. Definitely saves u A LOT of trouble!

Question of the Day
So amidst all the panic of the swine flu and it being called a pandemic, I want to find out what people think about traveling.
1) Has it stopped you from traveling?
2) If no, would you stay away from traveling to higher risk places like Melbourne, New York, etc?
I wonder how long this swine flu will stick around for? My answers to the questions above are a little undecided. I think I wouldn't mind traveling, but I know the in laws might have something to say to that, then begs the question of should we listen if they disapprove? :p And as far as traveling to more higher risk places, well I don't know. I would love to go to North America. Should ppl worry about traveling? The news had a segment about traveling and how holiday bookings are still going strong despite the 'pandemic'.
What do u all think?
