Homemade Applesauce

Who loves apples???
I do!!! I especially love them baked and cooked though I know that the raw ones have more nutrients. But still. I also love apple pies. The ones that I will remember most are the ones baked by my late paternal grandmother. Hers was the best. Know why? Cause the pastry was just thick enough, crispy and she always always loaded her apple pies with a lot of filling!! (Heheh, yea I know. I only eat the pie for the filling.... LOL).

Anyway, I was feeling kinda hungry that Sunday. There was nothing much to eat in the house except for some biscuits (which I get fed up with) and apples and carrots. So I decided to make my own apple filling aka applesauce. This was my 'adventure'.



First, get some apples (duh). Hey, and please get green ones or Granny Smiths. No red ones or Red Washington's ok? Green apples taste the best and no one ever uses red apples in apple pies (I think).



Wash, wash and wash!! Peel off the skin then you don't have to bother with the wax 'rumour' we find on apple skins. (I forgot to peel mine). Then slice each apple into eighths. Put them in the pot. :D






Pour just enough water to cover a height of about 1 cm from the bottom of the pot. (Honestly speaking, the amount of water you choose to put, depends solely on your personal taste and preference). Bring to boil. Then simmer until the apple slices become brownish. Oohhh, don't forget to sprinkle a bit of brown sugar to add a tinge of sweetness. (Again, how much you sprinkle is your own choice).




Apple slices should all be soft and easily mashed. As I didn't peel the skin off my apples, this was how they looked like. Weird. The water level will go down. If you'd like more 'syrup', just add a slightly bit more water into the pot.






See the water at the bottom? That's the syrup! And it's sweet too! Mmm.... Heavenly! Hahaha.








Finito!!! (Finished) All in my tummy. Licked till the pot was clean. Not! But hey, it's really delicious. Enjoy it.







Ta-da!!!!  Hahahaha.

To Mr. KT

This post is written in honour of (no, scratch that), is written with the objective to give someone a piece of my mind. (Want my cerebrum or medulla oblongata?) Firstly, this person complained that I did not update my blog often enough. Then he said, "Kenny Sia updates everyday." Yeah right, it's not everyday la Tai Kor! And why compare me to him? I'm so tiny and puny in the blogsphere. Heh. Anyway, I'm super busy and super tired and has had no inspiration whatsoever to blog about anything till today. (Thanks to somebody...) Before I go into the second part, for all those who have yet to hear about it, (it's been publicized in her FB), my sister, Eileen is now formally engaged to her sweetheart of six, seven years. Congrats to my dear dear sister. Finally, eh? Hahah. The second part is related to this. Not referring to my sis, but me. Our good friend who complained that I don't update often, had the gall/balls (Grr...) to 'insult' me. When I sh

Of Vampires and Werewolves

I've never really been an ardent fan of the Twilight series(boo...says you). And I have no idea why some girls go gaga over Edward the vampire. He looks so paste-y with the bloodshot eyes (yea yea he's supposed to look that way). And bleah! I think he looked way hotter in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as Cedric Diggory . That, I can go gaga. But in Twilight??? The romance between Edward and Bella is fine. Romantic, mushy and cliched. Heh. But there's nothing much for me to shout about. (Sorry to the ardent fans, esp to my three sisters. Ha.) This year, the next sequel in this series is about to be released tentatively in November. Known as New Moon , the title is definitely appropriate since the werewolves play a bigger role this time. I didn't read any of the books in the Twilight series though my sisters finished the whole lot of it. So there's no doubt I have no idea of what's going on in the next book. But judging from this trailer of the next sequ

My Future???

After thinking for a while, (ok, not a while but many whiles) I have finally decided what to do after I graduate (hopefully) in May this year. I have narrowed it down to two options. Sigh. Either I continue my studies and proceed wtih Masters (God, help me..) or I apply for this work and travel thing to US for six months. Will see how it goes... see which comes first. If it's the latter, I'd most probably miss my Convocation. If the former is first, the latter will no longer be on my list. We'll see we'll see. :) P/S: Applying for masters has nothing to do with what the government has allocated to help the economy.
