It's been awhile since I've made any leis, let a lone ribbon style. But I'm glad I did. It turned out pretty good. Now I need to brush up on my other designed style leis for future events.

My first Attempt in making English scones!! It's a success! Taste just like the ones I are at the London market!! Oh I'm in heaven now!!! 

English Scones

Ingredients

• 350g self-raising flour, plus more for dusting
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
  
  

  
  

  
  

  
• 85g butter
  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  , cut into cubes
• 3 tbsp caster sugar
• 175ml milk
  
  

  
  

  
  

  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• squeeze lemon juice (see Know-how below)
• beaten egg
  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  , to glaze
• jam and clotted cream, to serve

Method

1. Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Tip the flour into a large bowl with the salt and baking powder, then mix. Add the butter, then rub in with your fingers until the mix looks like fine crumbs. Stir in the sugar.
2. Put the milk into a jug and heat in the microwave for about 30 secs until warm, but not hot. Add the vanilla and lemon juice, then set aside for a moment. Put a baking sheet in the oven.
3. Make a well in the dry mix, then add the liquid and combine it quickly with a cutlery knife – it will seem pretty wet at first. Scatter some flour onto the work surface and tip the dough out. Dredge the dough and your hands with a little more flour, then fold the dough over 2-3 times until it’s a little smoother. Pat into a round about 4cm deep.
4. Take a 5cm cutter (smooth-edged cutters tend to cut more cleanly, giving a better rise) and dip it into some flour. Plunge into the dough, then repeat until you have four scones. You may need to press what’s left of the dough back into a round to cut out another four.
5. Brush the tops with beaten egg, then carefully place onto the hot baking tray.
6. Bake for 10 mins until risen and golden on the top. Eat just warm or cold on the day of baking, generously topped with jam and clotted cream. If freezing, freeze once cool. Defrost, then put in a low oven (about 160C/fan140C/gas 3) for a few mins to refresh.

I made spam egg & cheese for brunch...good day at Church...nice yummy meal!! Have a great day everyone!! 

My favorite wafers at this cute German shop in salt lake....excited!! They even have a bakery and meat shop inside. You have to check it out!!

My first attempt to make Hawaiian Chex Mix...it turned out ok since my hubby and twin bro ate a big portion of it...so I made more for them to have a sweet & salty snack this week. Gotta love making treats from memory but most importantly having Ginnie pigs (Mika & Henry) to eat it even just to make sure it tastes good!?! Hehehhee #familymoment — in South Salt Lake City.

Today was one of the most powerful spiritual experience I've every witness. Working in the Salt Lake Temple has been a joy. I've seen and participated in many miraculous moments that not many would say they have ever experienced. So today I had the privilege to sing in the Temple Choir for our Spiritual devotional inside the Temple on the 4th floor. Now I tell you that not many people would tell you about the top floors in the Temple because not many knows about it or been up there. But I will share just a little bit about it. There is a tabernacle hall where many General Authorities of the church would have grand meetings for church & spiritual purposes. It's a beautiful room. Big and full of character in every design. If I had it my way, i would rather just sit there and stare at the ceiling. That's how gorgeous it is. When you're in the room, you can feel the Holy Spirit so strong that you can't help it but get teary eyed. I know I did. The devotion was beautiful and powerful. One of the 12 apostles spoke including the Temple President. Amazing testimonies from both Elder Cook & President Samuelson and their spouses. Now the biggest and most amazing part of the devotion was when I sang with the Choir. Breath taking in every way!! During practice outside of the temple we sounded okay, but when we sang today it sounded like we had voices of angels!! No joke!! We sounded like the best choir in the world!! I know for a fact that the angels from the other side was with us and helped us out. This was the best moment for me by far!! I'm totally grateful that my husband Mika and his parents joined me on this wonderful experience. Well I pray that everyone of you have a spectacular Sabbath and may you find peace & joy in your life through prayer and guidance through the Holy Spirit.
