In Amercia we don't use scale to measure our ingredients, we use Amercian standard measuring cups (and spoons). Here is a <A HREF="http://www.convert-me.com/en/convert/cooking" REL="nofollow">conversion</A> if you feel need to. In my coming recipes I will be more carefully in writing. Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Tigerfish, oh please don't be so humble eh :) Fruit is really so good on its own, why bother to butter it or bake it. (psst... but I dislike apple, so I love putting apples in baked goods, heeheee)<BR/><BR/>Pooja, my lovely girl! Thanks for the award, it is honorable to get it from you. I will take my time to check out the details. Hey, your recipes are better than ever, can't wait to try more, but have to know my whereabouts (esp asian grocery stores) first.Gattina Cheunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259299908195438080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17911051.post-13330238520972360782007-09-25T15:55:00.000-07:002007-09-25T15:55:00.000-07:00Hi Gattina:I love your fig recipe.

A few uses both, curtains certainly look more like home!

One day I might go to her house and see what it's like.<BR/>Open the windows, sure for us... but wait until winter :D<BR/><BR/>Helene, in this my husband office there's always an A/C tension: his collegues from European countries tend to switch it to high, but Amercian guys start sweating.

Although I also long for coconut tree :)<BR/><BR/>Anh, it's ok whatever other people like. But since that girl got paid, she should do her job better (looking for options for us), otherwise I'd have searched the flat by myself or gone with our neighbors, hehee.<BR/>I can imagine how gorgeous your curtains are, from the great artistic sense you have! Have a chance to see *can't stop to stick my nose out*<BR/><BR/>Lydia, thanks for your sweet words! About figs (or most fruit), I tend to pair them with nuts (or nutty flavor as what coconut has), the flavor ususally very satisfactory to me. <BR/><BR/>Jaden, you're totally talented, nothing you can't do :)<BR/><BR/>Nabeela, oh thanks!
