Let the baking begin

Every year I bake cookies and cakes for friends and family as gifts. I have always wanted to make something for them, but I suck at handcraft or painting, so baking Xmas-y stuff seem to be the way to go in recent years.

So, my baking commenced today with some shortbread. I am happy with the way they turn out. They are yummy.

This is a perfect photo opportunity, don't you think?

Enough about me... My sister is a brilliant cook, she baked a mango sponge cake for Mama Tiny for her birthday. This is THE BEST cake I've ever tasted in my life! And it's without butter! Like.. seriously, THE BEST! The taste, the texture everything about it was awesome. It was light and fluffy, it was just THE BEST! She even made the white chocolate herself.

I hope my Swiss Roll Xmas Cottage won't fail.. we'll see! I am borrowing something from Not Quite Nigella.

A Very Supernatural 2009 - Lessons from The Winchester Gospel

What a year it has been! What are some of the key lessons from the Winchester Gospel?

Lesson 1: You shall love other idjits
Supernatural fans took over Twitter back in September with trending topics Supernatural and Lucifer is Coming. Some idjits thought we were devil worshippers. Clearly you need help with your upstairs brain. We shall love them no matter what, Puff Diddy is just scared of his TV.

Lesson 2: You shall attend annual gathering to hug the masters and other minions

Complete your life by attending a Supernatural Convention this year and give each other a Winchester hug. Don't forget to hug the Masters: Jensen, Jared, Misha, Jim.. THE LOT.

Lesson 3: You shall tweet

With all your faults, I love you still. Baby, it had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be Twitter.

You shall tweet anything and everything Supernatural with other minions. Tweeting is the only way to spread the love, stop the apocalypse and understand the teaching from Master Kripke. Join a live TwitCom and be sure to interact with other minions.

Lesson 4: You shall learn to speak a second language (preferably Japanese)

Learn to speak a second language is useful, you never know when you'll run into Mr Trickster. If you're naughty, he will put you in TV land and worst... he'll put you on a Japanese game show.

Lesson 5: You shall hoard toilet paper like it is made of gold

Try not to eat and drink bad stuff.. because you will use more toiler paper. It's gold, you don't want to waste it.

Lesson 6: God cannot be found on any flatbread

Where is God? You ask. Do I look like I know? May be Dean and Sam will die and go to heaven to find out. It's not like they haven't died before.

Lesson 7: You shall always make sure you have enough minutes on your cell phone before calling anyone

Yes, this is a very important communication tip. You don't want to hear the voice to tell you you're almost out of minutes in the middle of nowhere.

Lesson 8: You shall stop worrying about everything

Eric Kripke is one of the best showrunners in the business. So stop worrying about everything and just enjoy the ride while you can.

Guess it's time to eat, drink and make merry.
Have a Very Supernatural Xmas and a Wonderful 2010.

A Very Supernatural Christmas - A Twitter Commentary

Xmas is just around the corner. Whether you are going to spend some lovely quality time with family and friends willingly or unwillingly, it's a special time for sharing.

If you are on Twitter, it's certainly a special time for spamming. KaraLambo and I did a Twitter Commentary on A Very Supernatural Xmas a few hours ago. If you missed it or if you want to read the tweets again because they are award winning tweets, here is the recap from my end. You can visit Kara's blog here.

So here we go:

Zombies, Mrs Bobby... AWESOME!

Twitter ate my tweets like zombies eat brains..

A special presentation

Hello Dean, Hello Sam

Tooth fairy

Wait! There is no Santa???????

This reminds me of the Santa I saw in the shopping centre the other day.. Nobody lined up..

Team Winchester.. charming even when they were little.

Colin Ford looks more like Jared..

You just helped me to attract more stalkers!

Yeah.. and Dean doesn't know the lyrics to Silent Night.

Santa is a zombie..

I like how this scene has Silent Night playing in the background and the kid jumped when his mom screamed.

How do you know I change without shutting the blinds?

Sam's hair is shorter..

I love the sound of the Impala...

If Cas was in season 3 of Supernatural and appeared in the Xmas episode... I wonder how the episode will be like..

Bing Cosby... Ally McBeal.. Love Actually.... The lot! Dean loves it..

I love love LOVE the young Sam and Dean...

Monsters are real.. John is a superhero..

HAHAHA... Yeah, I have an angel on my Xmas Tree

Yeah... and she's gonna eat you Dean

OH FUDGE

What's the point of having a bin there when sharping the wooden thing and the stuff fly off bin

Why is the sofa wrapped in plastic? Meaning they move around or it's easier to wipe blood?

Oh fudge... Evil Mr and Mrs Santa are blackbelt champion

Dean: If you fudging touch me, I'll fudging kill ya!

The boys are saved by the belt

I watched this episode with Eric Kripke's commentary.. I love Kripke's commentary

And that Gingerbread house was still there after all that..

Who would've thought the amulet is the God EMF

Have yourself a merry little xmas.. I'm gonna cry

Dean: Merry Xmas Sam..

Dean: Fuel for me, fuel for my baby

I didn't realise Dean said: "Merry Xmas Bro'

Sam looked at Dean a few times, but he didn't say anything... It was heart warming.

I remember Kripke said in the commentary that his family called him and said "what's wrong with you?" after they watched this episode

A Very Supernatural Xmas was done in the Supernatural fashion.. which is unique. Nice work!!!

I love the Winchester Family episode..!!

I am actually watching the 'Scene Specific' of A Very Supernatural Xmas now

Eric Kripke: "I want the boys to kill someone with the Xmas tree."

That's all tweeps. I am working on a few things atm, there will be a 2009 review, a blog post on my all time favorite Supernatural episodes and episode review of The Curious Case of Dean Winchester and The Real Ghostbusters.

Some holiday viewing: Lost season 4 & 5. Can anyone just tell me who the bloody hell Jacob is?
