Moulded shaped sandwiches (Part 2)

Unlike the earlier pictorial, this technique of moulding sandwich only requires one cookie cutter of your choice, but one with a flat top/edge.

Credits to Susan for inspiring this post.


Tools required

Any cookie cutter and at least 2 slices of bread


Method:

1. Place cookie cutter flat side down on 2 slice of bread.


2. Press down gently to mark the shape onto the bread. Don’t forget your filling – choice can be jam/spreads, cold cuts, mashed eggs, tuna etc. Note don’t over stuff your filling otherwise it may break.

3. Once the bread centre is filled, place your cookie cutter back into place before firmly pressing down the cookie cutter (flat side down). This will seal the edges together.

4. With a sharp object – knife or scissors, cut out the shape leaving a small gap between the seal edges (otherwise the filling may slide out).

5. Ta-da…..revealing your moulded shaped sandwich.

TIP: You can also cut additional features onto your moulded bread, eg. I added some thorny spines onto my dinasour. Too sharp and scary? Ok no problem, off they come but after removing them I can't put them back on again. Hey what you expect, Transformers bread or what??? ;)

Er, then again, maybe I could put them back....but it won't be exactly the same as before and you'll have to be good and give me a kiss (er, this is me talking to my fickle son :))! Lol

Houser-cise

Remember this from the movie Karate Kid (ha ha....yes I am from 'that' generation).

....Right hand wax on.

....Left hand wax off.

.....now, keep doing that for a few hundred more times!!

Sums up my weekend.

Instead of having a relaxing Sunday, we have been 'waxing on and off', cleaning the house. Working up a sweat, discovering muscles that we never knew we had.

Let's just say some part of my arms and legs are feeling rather wobbly and numb at the moment, making it rather interesting to type this up!

But that's good right?

Household chores....the other gym-ercise! Too bad my intake (food that is) is greater than my output, otherwise I think I could actually knock off some pounds ;)

Don't get too excite yet for me, the place is not 'ready' yet - still a long list of minor things to be done and fittings to be put in. As weekend renovators - the contractors come in on Saturdays and then the 'cleaners' mop up after on Sundays. A few people have advised me to only 'clean up' after everything is ready, before moving it - but cannot stand aka tahan the messy and dust. Besides I'm not one of those that can stand around cowering over the contractors and not do something useful. Glaring is something but can't really do that for more than a few minutes. I believe that everyone needs some space to do their work well.

And so, what do I do to while away the time?? Let's just say the broom and dust pan have been very handy generously adding a deeper edge to the already blistered fingers. Yes, I'm just one of those who get boils and blisters just by holding a broom, no kidding!! Have now resorted to wearing gloves to help protect my dry, scarred, wrinkled and aging hands!!
