Baking our hearts out

Another nice sunny Sunday morning we had......

This time, we didn´t spend our time out in the woods under the sun. We did something different instead. Baking!!!!

Amelia was fascinated with baking..... as I have never done it back home after having her (And I barely touch the kitchen for many reasons) she was altogether interested in watching us baking instead of sitting in the hallway watching tv...... Was just a simple cake we baked, a simple chocolate sponge cake. It came out a success actually, and coming to a great conclusion.... we should do baking together once a month! Messing ourselves in the kitchen and all... ;) Guess I need to start researching and google up for more baking recipes via the internet! Its hard to get recipe books down here as my German is superbly low at the moment..... Would take ages before I am that a professional to start cooking or even baking via a German book! Hahahaha But then..... I just got this recipe from the chocolate milk powder box we bought for Amelia to drink ;) 

So hence we decided to try it out cos it wasn´t that difficult and we managed to get all the ingredients from it at just one spot... :)


Mixing of ingredients was fast... didn´t have to take hours, just..... 30 mins before we are done... though we were sneaking taste from it occasionally.. OMG... the chocolate cream that was produced out from it is deliciously wonderful!!!!  Then..... before everything finishes, we finally put the "donut" cake into the oven to be baked for 1 hour...... Amelia was jumping happily and kept asking when is it done all the time! Hahahaha She is getting very extremely impatient to start eating the cake we started baking ^^

But... overall, the cake turned out a success.... I´m happy and satisfied about it... being able to do such stuff together as a family. It´s indeed something I always wished for....... doing things together as a family.... and not half done....


Speaking of half done.....


We had webcam with my parents today and also with my ex husband (this I was genuinely surprised). AMazingly, a lot of emotions streamed through me seeing him via webcam, and even more seeing him having tears in his eyes..... Sometimes I wished that life would be one less complicating... especially on me and my ex husband. I wonder if we would ever be able to reconcile and be friends, good friends at least .... for our daughter´s sakes. But oh well.. who am I to even ask and think of it?


Some emotions are better left closed up forever... especially when we have both moved on.... especially me. But..... I am only human...... and it´s 12 long years with many memories good and bad with him. 


But I guess, like a post from a fellow friend, titled Reconciliation in Love, its something I would really wanna try doing, although its now only to be maintained as friends. Sometimes, I guess I will always forever and ever love him, like what I always told him when we were together 

很久以前，我对你说过不论发生了什么事，我是会永远爱你。。。。是没骗你的。。对不起。。。你永远都是我第一个最心爱的。
