The 3-day Labor Day weekend went by so fast.  I guess as usual, weekends goes by quicker than weekdays, for me at least.  We didn’t go anywhere except to run errands and went for a movie, Avatar at the neighborhood theater.  The movie is in 3D and the ticket was so much cheaper than at the IMAX.  It was cheaper by half.  I was going to take today off but then the boss needed to meet with me.  Darn.  Was going to take the day off to work on the laptop we are using in the kitchen….mainly for recipes, checking the weather that kind of thing.  I want to get a newer laptop, like the ones I saw, Asus, at a compartive price and has all the bells and whistles of a different brand. However, DB said he wants to get more mileage out of the one we have first before getting a newer one. I was hoping to get a new laptop so that browsing for recipes is faster. Speaking of recipes, I roasted a chicken and bake a chocolate cake on Sunday. Hah, I must in a mood to cook that day coz I saw the choc cake recipe from my sister’s cooking blog, I thought i had better give it a try coz I sounds so easy to make. Well, it the cake came out but it didn’t rise as much as I thought it would. I blamed it on my 2-year self raising flour! I have to get a new packet of self raising flour and try the cake again. It has great flavor, moist and darn buttery. So yeah, this weekend, might have to give it another go on this chocolate cake recipe.
