Observance of the Holy Week

Holy Week is coming and a lot of people have already plotted their destinations long before the Lenten season has started. Why ever not, this week is one of the times when people don’t go to work because of so-called Christian duties to observe the Holy Week, or several days of holy obligations.

Trips to the beaches are popular destinations. Some go to other countries like Hong Kong and Singapore to shop while there is this family I know who booked hotels before visiting their relatives in the USA.

I am having some second thoughts about this time of the year though.

Looking for Baked Goodies Recipes

I am on the lookout for the perfect chocolate chip cookies recipe or the perfect fudge recipe.

Why? I plan to give these away to relatives and friends.

Because I am determined to practice “Frugal Christmas” though of course, because I have forgotten the baking lessons I have had eons ago, I may even be spending more than I care to if my baking forays will end up as failures.

Not to mention getting those necessary equipments for these experiments mean another extra dip in my already dwindling resources, I am still determined to do these and not shop for other gifts besides those for my students.

Below is something I made that comes from a recipe for blueberry muffins but I decided to put these in mini loaf pans so the kids can have slices instead of muffins. Turned out ok, I guess since they ate everything. Or maybe they were just hungry.

If these are not too good to give away, if they are edible at least and not life-threatening ( 😀 ), my kids would be more than willing to have these for themselves. I know how they loved baked goodies.

For those people I know who are eternally looking for the best fat burner, hah, get ready to eat these baked goodies once I perfect the procedure. As if.
