Best Pancakes Recipe

I actually took time to make breakfast this morning. A simple breakfast but requires accuracy in every way- ingredient measurement, time, and delicacy.

My recipe is modified from the original taken from All Recipes.com. Link below:
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/fluffy-pancakes-2/detail.aspx?event8=1&prop24=SR_Title&e11=pancakes&e8=Quick+Search&event10=1&e7=Recipe

The good thing about this recipe is that it doesn't require mixture of butter, which makes it super healthy. I also eliminate 30 ml of white vinegar turning the recipe back to the good old original basic. Give it a try :)



125 g       All-Purpose Flour
  25 g       White Sugar
   5 g         Baking Powder
                 A pinch of Salt
  1 tsp       Vanilla Extracts
150 ml      Non-Fat Milk
  1             Egg

Directions:
  1. Always No.1 rule in baking: Combine dry ingredients together . Flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Whisk egg into milk. Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until lumps are gone. 
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Coat the surface with a little bit of butter, make sure not too much or else color on surface of your pancakes will come out unevenly. Pour 1/4 cup full of batter onto the skillet and cook until bubble appears on the side and surface. Flip with a spatula until the other side turn brown. Remember, flip once only
  4.  Serve with honey or fruit jam of your choice.
Better yet, have it with a cup of hot coffee or chocolate :)

A Few Amazing Photos - 11pm

I wanted to share (to the world), of course, some of the most beautiful photographs I've seen tonight. Some are new. Some are on the web ages ago, nevertheless, they're sort of calming agent. Tired as heck yet I still like to spend time appreciating them.


Bee - The Flying Cat



I can never guess why Bee is the flying cat..but this is the best cat photo I have seen so far. Worth more than those photos you can find online site like Corbis, 123rf, Stockphotos, etc. The photographer has disabled save option on Flickr, I hope it's okay to share it. The photo is featured on Smashing Magazine website.

Good afternoon, my name is Chikiricuato 


Another great photo with strange title. This is the ultimate face off between fox and bird. You can never guess if the bird actually got away :) Very cool. Pixdaus.com

 Here's my Tyler


Now I guess I can tweak a few photos of my handsome  cat, Tyler :) 

Like a Fairy Tale


Great fairy tale like photo from Alejka on Deviantart

Lana Del Rey


Okay, I've been very obsessive of Lana del Rey for the past years. Yes, even before she released her official Born to Die album.  I like her music style, somehow it fits me. She has this very edgy vibe, unique voice which draws me in. She definitely has her standpoint. It's what every one of my idol should have in common :) See? There's even a cat in the photo :)

Here goes Lana's newest vid - Blue Jeans



One of her best live performances. She's made it to my list of Must-See concert. Doubt if she would ever be in Bangkok....or I need to save up for a ticket to LA :)

 

One of the hardest songs to sing live!!!

Paws and Purrs

I've been thinking of starting a small shop of my own making a few hundreds a day aside my full time job. It was mom's idea to started a pet shop, sadly she never did make it happen. Well, after quite a long consideration (more than half a day) here's what I came up with... the logo. 


Guess I'll have to wait till I come up with any additional ideas on how to make it work lol.

IKEA Bangna

I went to IKEA Bangna yesterday to check out some furniture. The self-service idea actually gave me a good break from annoying shopping mall staff trying to see faulty products... well, or something simply not up to my standard. It was sort of peaceful browsing the products. Guess what? I like it and will probably visit the store again soon.

A few photos to share.

Photos I might consider getting for my room.


Five out of more than 20 showroom at IKEA. I am eyeing for the blue walls and similar furniture arrangement like first photo on the right. Second photo on the right looks good as well, but too much like a tight-packed office, it'd look much better given more space in between the desk and sofa. Anyways, that's just an idea :)


See for yourself :)

Photography - Heikki Alanen

Street of Bangkok - On the right, welcome to Pantip

Ankor Wat - Cambodia

I like this simply because it's Russia. There's something about the composition in this very country that I fall in love with.
This is sort of how I imagine my dream house.

SERENITY

Nature is a wonder.
Finland :) A friend of mine took the same photo but here is way of a different level lol.

Rrrrromance :)

Norway, you're on my top must-visit list.

Photography - Kitty Gallannaugh

Since I can't make up my mind what exactly to focus on today,  I'll share a few photos from two of my favorite photographers Kitty Gallannaugh (British) and Heikki Alanen (Finnish).

Perfect blend!

I like to look deep into someone's eyes (not in a weird way), especially when they have amazing color combination. Mattew, a good friend of mine has crazy beautiful grayish green eyes...Boy... :)


If there is but one photo I could purchase from her then it would be this one. It'd be a good addition to my site.

I like old stuff, especially when it's passed on from someone. Indeed, a treasure. I'm not at all a religious person and not even a Christian, but there's one particular Bible given by my high school teacher, Shelly before she left. Inside cover has her full name and date, which dated back to her childhood years. Priceless.

I was eying on a Fossil bag with similar prints. Plus, the classics :)

This picture kind of make me feel relax. First word that came to mind? REVERIE.


Reminds me of The Red Riding Hood. There's something about red color that pulls me in. Guess what my favorite color really is?
