Banana walnut 'cupcakes'

Tried another version of Betty Crocker's premix,

i added fresh banana (diced) into the mix.

less dense than expected,

maybe banana puree may make the mix richer.

Organised mess..

Once you fell in love with food, likely you'll spent a great deal of time in kitchen.
I usually spent around an average of 2hrs in kitchen everyday.
If cooking, around 3hrs.Preparing,clearing, cleaning & serving.
Cleanliness and dust free environment is a must,coz im allergy to dust.
I will fix up IKEA organisers by myself and categorise all my stuff from art materials,shoes - hubby's IT stuff. (hmm,you may wonder where my husb fit into chores)
Loved to chuck away stuff hidden or set aside a space for them,so i know where to look for them. Now im into baking & had invested a v.expensive mixer..
allocated a drawer for my food processor and baking materials.
tea cabinet,alcohol cabinet,dried food&all ingredients+planting my very own herbs garden :)

Simply love Nigella's storage room of ingredients & sauces.
I do not have big spaces but im v.contented.
Of coz never envy 4-5rms habitat, coz CLEANING kills!
For those who dont cook, they've at least one place to spared cleaning / no oils stains to worry about..can be lazy for days. (not to mentioned toilets/bathroom)
I keep everything minimal & out of sight.



Im not a fantastic cleaner/100%housewife, will continue to try my best.
i admit some stains and dust can be a real nuisance..we've got to be creative at home.
So cleaning them every 2-3days,a little scrubbing is necessary.
Of coz if you can afford a partime cleaner/ maid may help alot :p i mean ALOT..
