Garlic Ginger Basil Salmon

Got this recipe from youTube and I tried making it. Tastes really good but got to be careful with the brown sugar.

Ingredients:

• salt
• 2 tablespoons of chopped basil

For the sauce:

• 1 tablespoon ginger.  (approx 2~3 slices of ginger)
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon of hot pepper
• 1/4 cup of water
• 1 teaspoon of soy sauce
• 1/4 cup of rice vinegar (approx 3 tablespoons)

Special Christmas Cupcakes

It’s been so long since I have tasted GREAT AMAZING CUPCAKES. E’s banana muffins and QJ’s M&M’s cupcakes are my favourites… which could explain my size since I ain’t no pip-squeak (slang in Layla’s language for small petite looking thing). 

Annette Tan offered a recipe for “Frosted Almond Cupcakes” in the Today’s paper and for those that missed out seeing it, here it is written in my style of recipe writing. I know I know… it’s a weird looking diagram below. It’s based on a data flow diagram (DFD), which is used as a graphical visual representation of the “flow” of things in an information system showing the data processing steps. (If you can’t see it clearly click on the diagram)
