Cioppino Fish Soup


CIOPPINO FISH SOUP. (forgive the picture quality, Im only using my handphone camera)
Had this for lunch along side some vedge and rice. Cooked it for my sister as parents were out.
Enjoy.


I only had dory fillet, as my mom bought that only but do use something less fishy.
Slice the fillet into cube size pieces
Season with salt and pepper.
Chops lots of garlic.
Chopped the shallots / green onions
Some chicken stock at the side...
Butter the onions and garlic.
Throw in the fish, add in the stock, some water, basil, thyme, bay leaves, oregano, pepper.
And thats it! =)
If u have some dry white wine, do include it, some alcohol compliments the fish.
And if you have real chicken stock or fish stock, do use that instead of ready made granules.

Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Sorry guys,I'm been really busy nowadays and havent found much time to cook nor bake. Its been rather busy now as this year is my senior year in high school. We have a year end examination called the SPM which roughly determines our pathway to college. So yea, its kinda important. Nevertheless I have found some time this weekend to bake! Today is the day I wanted to try on something simple and fast. I decided to buy those pre made flour mixtures that could produce products in an instant, hence I saw this and got really curious.
BETTY CROKER'S
DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIE MIX

They just needed these ingredients, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 2 tbs water, 1 egg
I started mixing the above ingedients with the flour mix..
And formed it into a dough by hand.
it turn out pretty wet and sticky...
Prepared the foil and pans...
Scooped a generous tablespoon of dough on each section and popped it in the ovem. 10 mins. 175-200C...
The result was fairly good. The chocolate melts in your mouth. XD

It was alright, but honestly, making your own is much more satisfying and tasty....this mix was particularly pricy so I do recommend you make your own.
