PayingPost

Hello, peeps! I've just discovered a new make money online programme called PayingPost. Actually, LJ was the one whom introduced it to me. At first, I was attracted to its beautiful graphics and easy navigation layout. Then as I explored further after my registration, I found out that most of my blogger friends are already in the PayingPost blogger directory. My confidence in this new programme was boosted up.

PayingPost - For both Advertisers and Bloggers
"...advertisers build traffics to their website and bloggers earn money writing reviews about the advertiser's products..."

Definitely M! I used to have a few best friends during my high school. Strangely, as I grew older, I tend to be more secretive. I don't talk to my friends about my problems and only tell them what's the general changes around my life. I do keep my best friends as my true friends now because they are hard to find. :)

C. Cake or pie?
oh no!! I love both cakes and pies. Can I not choose?

Quotes?
I collects love quotes and have even printed it out on A4 papers and bind it nicely together as a gift to my darling. It has approx. 1000++ love quotes. The book is about 5cm in thickness. :) Here's one that I absolutely adore: "A kiss is a lovely trick, designed by nature, to stop words when speech becomes superfluous." ~Ingrid Bergmen

R. Reasons to smile?

Chirstmas Cookie Recipes

...Christmas is about
sharing & giving...
I absolutely love Christmas! Not just because of the real meaning behind this meaningful day, but it's also because of the warm & joy that this season brings. To me, Christmas is about sharing & giving.

Every year, M's family would have an open house at their home. We would wake up early in the morning to prepare for this occasion. The ladies would be helping in the kitchen while the gentlemen would be doing the arrangement of tables & chairs. The atmosphere is so warmth and joyous. You will see us all making jokes and giggling or even laughing out loud as we do our own chores.

This year, I have something else up in my sleeve. I am planning to bake some christmas cookies. Some says that baking christmas cookies brings families and friends together with the warm goodness of cookies fresh from the oven. I totally agreed with this statement. That is why I am going to start baking christmas cookies from this year onwards. Before that, please excuse me while I search for christmas cookie recipes. :)

Happy Monday! :)

Finally AGP Got Her Own Domain!!

Yay, finally AGP got her own domain!! After much talking and researching for a good webhosting and seeing Marzie just got her own domain too, I've finally decided to settle on GoDaddy. It's really a big step for me as I've to prepare myself to lose all my Techno ranking and hence my PR. But I am just so glad & happy that I've made this decision. Going on my own is so exciting!

Well, transfering isn't as complicated as i thought it would. It's pretty easy, actually! I would like to thank my best blogging friend, Marzie for helping & guiding me throughout the whole process. She was indeed my best blogging friend and certainly AGP's fave person. Thank you, marzie! Now, we can build our PR together-gether, rite? :)

Please Update!
"...It's 'http://agreatpleasure.com' now! So, just omit the '.blogspot' from my old url..."

Of course, there are followups to do now. I will need to plan this carefully and not missing anything. Next, I will inform all the programmes that I've joined about my shifting. And then update my MBL, FB, WS, FF and other social networkings i've joined. Oh, and next, i will need you guys to help me with this. Please update my url in your respective blogs. It's 'http://agreatpleasure.com' now! So, just omit the '.blogspot' from my old url. Thank you, peeps! Love ya! :)

Garden Chicken


M & I were craving for chicken on Wed night. So, we decided to bake a whole chicken. Not wanting to go through the hassle of frying vege, we put the potatoes & asparagus into the oven as well. Easy enough, one tray, all in! :)


Ingredients:
1 whole chicken
3 tsp salt
1 tsp rosemary
1 tsp five-spice powder
2 tsp dried parsley
2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp sugar
3 cloves garlic (crushed and mashed with roughly a tsp of coarse salt)
1 lemon (zest & juice)
4-5 onions (skin peeled)
Olive oil

6 potatoes (cut cube)
Asparagus (skin peeled)
Butter

1 tbsp maltose (diluted with 1 tbsp of hot water)

Wash chicken thoroughly and drain in a colander for approx. 10 mins.

Rub chicken with salt, black pepper, rosemary, dried parsley, five-spice poweder, sugar, mashed garlic, lemon zest and lemon juice. Put chicken in a baking tray and add onion at the side. Drizzle generously with olive oil. Marinate for approx. 3-4 hours.

Tips: For marinating, divide ingredients into half for front & back chicken. Work with your hand and massage the ingredients onto chicken for better result.

Pre-boiled potatoes in salt water. Drain in colander for approx. 10 mins. Arrange your time so that when you've finished pre-boiling the potatoes, the chicken is ready for baking. Add potatoes onto the tray and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Drizzle with olive oil. Baked in oven for 80mins under 200°C.

Blanch asparagus in salt water. Drain in colander for approx. 5 mins. When the chicken is done with its 80 mins baking, add the asparagus to the tray and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Grease the surface of asparagus with butter. And grease the surface of chicken with diluted maltose. Baked for another 10mins under 180°C.

Tips: Maltose will give the skin a very crispy texture.

Tea Chats: This is the first time we've baked this chicken and it was yummy~licious. We've given it a name: Garden Chicken because it looks like a garden to us. :). Since this is baking and not grilling, there are sauce in the tray. So, don't bother making any sauce for this. :)


Happy Friday, peeps! Enjoy your weekend! :)

Debbie's Crafty Heart

I used to spend alot of time making greeting cards for my families & friends. But my interest fades away as i grow older. It seems like I just couldn't find that much time anymore now.

Making a gift for someone you love could really light up someone's heart. It shows your sincerity & determination. So for this coming Christmas, i think i might just do something for my friends. That's why I am taking the pledge to buy or make handmade this season, and hope you guys will do the same too! :)

I Took The Handmade Pledge! BuyHandmade.org

At this time, Debbie's Crafty Heart Online Store comes in real handy. In there, you can find lots of lovely & cute ribbons, embellishments, flowers and other craft items you may need. The pricing are reasonable too! :)


If you are not into making handy crafts, how about winning a handy craft? This lovely container was made by none other than the owner of Crafty Heart, Debbie herself.




It's actually a Lady's Choice mayonnaise jar, thoroughly cleaned and rinsed with hot water to remove its label. So it's clean, don't worry! :) What's in the jar, you ask? Lots of scrapbooking/cardmaking goodies, of course! There are a few packs of silk flowers, just like the ones I'm selling on my store. There are other embellishments such as metal flowers and butterflies, and two packs of assorted brads! I've decorated the jar with ribbons and Sticko Vellum Hearts stickers. The whole jar is worth no less than RM20! :)

How To Win:
Just tell me why you want to win this jar in the comment section.
The winner will be picked via random.org. The winner will be announced on Monday, 1st December 2008.



Let's say YES to handmade, shall we! :)
