Euen's Tenth Month




I baked a big chocolate-banana cake for the baby. 17.2 lbs. this month, our baby looks taller. bigger.  Her second front tooth came out. Yey!  She's become even more active nowadays: playing, moving around.  She also had a cough for a few days, no fever or colds. But it just subsided so there was no need to bring her to the doctor.

I can't believe it! Euen is ten months old now!
She has existed longer on the outside world than inside my tummy.

We are all excited for the baby's first Christmas.

Banoffee Pie

I asked my sister what she wanted to me bake.  Being the dessert-addict-who-is-so-skinny, I almost regretted I asked.  She requested: a banoffee pie.

There are three parts in making this dessert.  The shortbread crust, the dulce de leche and the whipped cream.  

I liked the texture of the crust that I baked.  The dulce de leche took time to cook and needs to be watched.  Since I don't have the whisk attachment on my mixer and Denden, my "whisk-man" was lazy at the time, we bought the spray-on whipped cream.  We enjoyed putting it all together, adding extra-extra bananas. 

The photo above might not look so good.  But it was yummy!  Mission accomplished.
