Shortbread and espresso

Shortbread, a classic Scottish dessert, consists of mainly three basic ingredients: butter, sugar and flour. Shortbread has a crumbly texture owing to its high fat content from the higher proportion of butter than other ingredients.

A poem dedicated to New Year Cookies

You swirl from black to white,

So are you to my thoughts as butter to bread,

Or as refreshing oxygen is to my life;

As for the crunch of you I munch and munch

As I'm a predator and my prey is found.

Now delighted as a glutton, and a cookie monster

Doubting the buttery scent will steal your soul

Now smiling with contentment to be watching you rise,

From dough to food.

Then better's that the others may see my pride:

Sometime all full with jealousy in their eyes,

And by and by hunger they approach;

Demanding and wanting you so badly

Hide what you have, or must from you be seized.

Thus do I roll and bake day by day,

Or indulging on you, or all of you,

All or nothing...

New Year Cookies - the "Black & White"

From dough, they rise

As food, they live

Your eyes are hungry...

There comes the universal fluid...

Smell the cuppa

People all over the world consume over 1 billion cups of coffee a day. And Ming Na alone accounts for 0.0000003% of that daily consumption, which is equivalent to 3 cups out of a billion. I consider the first cup of coffee a necessity to the beginning of every morning. As for the afternoon coffee time, it is consumed for its intriguing flavour and aroma while the third cup is usually consumed after dinner to help keep me awake while preparing for tomorrow's work day.
