Brutha-ly Love

Welcome to the quarry of the quintessential quirk, the caberet of the crazed cretin, the abode of the aberrant aristocrat, the nexus of the neurotic engineer, the diary of the dogmatic dog-lover and the ranch of the revolutionary romantic! Have fun at your own expense!

What's Cooking?

Granola bars, to be precise.

Having been recently infatuated with the stunningness of Granola (blame Shawne, my elderer sis, who bought a whole chunk for Kar's Birthday), I went online to check out its nutritional information.

Rich in fibre? Check. Rich in proteins and poly-unsaturated fats? Check. Immensely tasty and sexy? Check check check.

It was then that i serendipitously (read: tyco) stumbled upon this site, which led to some serious sensuous sentiments...

Since today was a marking day holiday, I would have spent it stoning at home or in front of the computer (as is now). However, i gathered the resolve and decided to MAKE OUR OWN GRANOLA BARS!

Kar and I got down on the dancefloor to Junction 8 to shop for our muesli ingredients, and ended up with these beauties:

Yes, we ARE making hamster food. How did you guess?

There were almonds, hazelnuts, raisins, dried apricots, oat clusters, honey, yogurt, chocolate chips and of course, the GRANOLA that i hadn't already gorged myself on.

As that site was rather bereft of instructions, we decided to tikam it abit in the order of mixing, melding, moulding and making.

Our first batch was to be a plain honey fruit granola, which turned out to be a honey honey honey honey fruit granola. Our second batch was a yogurt fruit blende that even retains the yogurt-y taste and texture!

The stomping of the nuts wasn't as painful as it looks. However, the chopping of the scrota...

Oh and through this, i just found out one of the worst feelings in the world. MOULDING HONEYED CEREAL IN YOUR HANDS (clean, of course). It is akin to squishing vomit into cute and cuddly shapes.

Anyway, all my shapes were these huge amorphous lumps that kept on breaking apart. On the other hand (or rather, the hand of the other person), Kar's lovely lady lumps were actually cute!

The first and the second batches, with all rejects omitted for viewer safety.

And finally, ~TA DA~, GRANOLA!

2 hours + $60 + gooey honey hands = Hot Edible Beauties

YAY! Happy happy. Although that could be because of the sugar/honey high ;P

Edit: There is A LOT extra. So be warned, Dwayne may callously shove some into your mouth in the near future.
