Hubby got his baking mojo back, and I couldn't be happier! Since our new cooker with oven was installed over a week ago, he has baked 3 times already (not minding the sleepless nights). One batch was for my colleague who was leaving the company, while two batches were paid orders – 384 pieces of butterscotch bites given as tokens for a kiddie birthday party by a good friend and 100 pieces of chocolate crinkles for home consumption by a local colleague. Wow, right? The husband is saving up for a Mac Mini so his earnings went straight to his technological update fund. He’s super happy! :)
And then just last year, I got him this weighing scale:
Everyone tells me how extremely lucky I am to have someone who can bake for me at a drop of a hat. Well, not really. Sometimes I have to bribe him you know, haha! I'm super proud of him! As a supportive wife, I do my best to show my appreciation and I try as much as I can to purchase the essential baking tools and equipment he needs. Like for instance, a few birthdays ago, I got him this mean machine:
 |
| Kitchenaid Artisan in matte grey hue. Looks like concrete & oh, so masculine! |
And then just last year, I got him this weighing scale:
 |
| the better to weigh you, my dear! |
Plus this rolling pin:
 |
| the better to whack you, er, roll the dough with my dear! |
And this baking mat:
 |
| silicone mat |
Then last month, this spanking new cooker with convection oven:
 |
| an Ariston cooker -- dream come true! |
If there’s one thing that I contribute to the baking bit he does is that I do the packing! Yep, I am the master motherpacker in our household! :D I wrap, I jar, I box! The good side of it is that I get to choose how his baked goodies are handed over and presented to his customers. with our collection of boxes, cellophanes and goody bags I hoarded from Chocolate Lover in Manila, not to mention my growing collection of ribbons from satin to the grosgrain kind, he never fails to make a good impression on his goods. So yeah, I do support him in every way I know possible.
Oh, and did I tell you I'm his guinea pig, too? Yup, motherpacker na, taste-tester pa!
