My second product : Double Chocolate Brownie

Assalamu'alaikum...

I got my postage filled with Moringa cuts - 10 of them, nicely packed and cut but no, that is not my second product.

My second product is this , as the title on the post says.

Here's the recipe I used for the first sold brownie. I used 10" x 10" mould, cut to 50 pcs but I think  this fits best on 9" x 9", cut into 45pcs.

1 cup butter (I used 227gm unsalted butter)
5 ounces, unsweetened chocolate (I used 150gm dark chocolate)
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I used US cocoa powder, sold locally)
2 cups sugar (I used brown sugar)
1 tbsp vanilla essence
3 whole large eggs
1-1/4 cup ap flour
3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
1/4 cup butterscotch chips (I added upon putting batter in the oven)

Double boil the butter and chocolate, sprinkle the cocoa powder and let cool for about 5 mins.
Add sugar until smooth, put in the vanilla essence.
One at a time, stir in the eggs.
Add in the flour till incorporated, add the choc chips till just combined.
Pour in the greased tin line with baking paper (put extra baking paper so you could use this baking paper to unmould the finished brownies later)
Sprinkle with the butterscotch chips evenly.
Bake at 185C for about 40 - 55 mins, insert a toothpick and it should comes out little gooey, should be ok.
Let cool and cut as desired.

Selling price : RM40 for 9" x 9"

First product

The easiest I can do, and I love it :

+/- 1/2 kg snow cheese cake for RM25

Another favourite product

Keterujaan saya

As-salam,  saya ingin berkongsi ceritera. Saya harap saya akan dapat memperincikan pengalaman ini untuk kebaikan orang lain jua.

Secara jujur, sejak orang tersayang disahkan mengalami keadaan pereputan tulang yang agak kritikal, saya gigih cuba mencari penyelesaian terbaik  untuknya.  Ikutkan pihak hospital, mereka telah pun memberikan alternatif perubatan moden, suntikan berharga lebih kurang RM700 yang perlu diambil dalam tempoh 2 kali setahun, dilengkapi dengan pengambilan kalsium sebanyak dua kali sehari (sekali pagi dan sekali malam) dan vitamin D sekali sehari pada waktu pagi.  Saya akur walaupun agak keberatan (saya agak ortodoks mengenai hal ini) kerana saya percaya ada yang lebih baik daripada alternatif ini.

Saya masih berdo'a diberikan kemudahan dan jalan keluar olehNya. Baru-baru ini, saya mendapat satu maklumat mengenai tumbuhan ini : Pokok Moringa.  Syukur saya diberikan ilham olehNya untuk terus mencari.  Saya akan mula menggunakan tumbuhan ini sebagai alternatif untuk keluarga saya sendiri.  Saya akan cuba kemaskini maklumat yang saya dapati dan berkongsi dengan sesiapa sahaja yang sudi.

Semoga Allah izinkan saya untuk terus bebakti. Ameen ya rabbal 'alameen.

Things I managed today

1. Translate some rules from BM to English and posted that back for approval
2. Close 6/7 RTP done by KK9, 1 is still to be reviewed by the head of auditor
3. Tried to do go-live for 2 responsibility centres with the help of my staff

Life sometime is hard. Be resilience in the face of adversity. Life has got to go on and the purpose is to get yourself engaged with activities towards your goal : help others to help you in the hereafter. It's very deep in action and meaning. I'm still in search of my passion, but I'm glad I could help others.

Reference for me :

Of my latest course

With someone familiar, someone full with experiences. It's  a refreshing for me. It's a good one and I'm glad I go to this course, I met someone new.

The outoutcome

Rejected!!!

I was having gut feeling about this. I planned to buy a new, little bit bigger car so it's comfortable to ferry my husband around.

But with 3 banks rejected my application, I don't think it's time yet.  I should work hard to get more money in order to buy the car I wanted. Anyway, a car will be liability....

First is to focus on the house selling. Second is to have extra income.

With that, I should improve the current condition of my current car. Hmmm.....

Me? Yeah! I'm hurt.

This is what he said this morning :
Anything from Axxxx n Hxxxx must be very expensive. Owwwhhhh yeah.... if you say so...
