I had prepared this profile picture for a job that fell through. Though my heart was crushed, I’ve learnt that there’s always a reason behind things - though I was highly disappointed, I put faith in HIM knowing HE knows best.

There was a time I felt just as saddened and it took me a week to get over “losing” a glossy gig.

At the 11th hour, global decided to not proceed and I was already in the midst of preparing for the one month shoot down south.

The worst part was not understanding why they changed their minds.

As I was moping about, another offer propped up last minute and in that period I was supposed to film the series? I was enjoying Hawai’i with @joelebosi instead.

It was a perfect 50th birthday celebration as we celebrated it at the 50th State of The United States of America.

Had I been in that previous shoot, I would have not had the opportunity to explore a place which Azmi had always wanted to take me to relive his childhood watching … yes … you guessed it … HAWAII 5-0!

(Jeng jeng jeng jeng jeng jeng … jeng jeng jeng jeng jenggggg)

Back to present times.

I still don’t know why God put a spanner in the wheels for this job; but what I DO know is … something is baking … brewing … and I can’t wait to share more with all of you.

@anisariantiariffin … are you ready partner?

When you think of Thermomix … Think of @dvaromastm6 💞!

P/s: I like my DVA apron. Simple and neat.

A Kingdom Prepared for you

“Then the King will tell those on his right hand, ‘Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in. I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me.’” (Matthew‬ ‭25:34-36‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Just pause and think about this: God prepared the Kingdom for us—His children, from the foundation of the world.

He did not even make it for Himself. It was made beautiful, spacious, and glorious for us who have placed our faith in the name of Yahweh (before Jesus appeared)/Jesus (Yeshua).

“The King will answer and say to them, ‘I assure you and most solemnly say to you, to the extent that you did it for one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it for Me.’” (Matthew‬ ‭25:40‬ ‭AMP‬‬)

The righteous are instructed to do good to fellow believers who are Jesus’ brothers and sisters.

These are the ways of doing good to fellow believers that Jesus mentioned:
1. Feeding the hungry
2. Giving a drink to the thirsty
3. Showing hospitality by providing lodging
4. Clothing those who have no means to obtain basic necessities
5. Visiting and praying for the sick
6. Visiting those who are in prison and taking the Gospel to them

Every believer is a member of the body of Christ, so if you do good to a believer, you are doing it to Christ Jesus.

“Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.” (Galatians‬ ‭6:9-10‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

We are taught to do good towards all men, but especially to fellow believers. When we do good as we have opportunity, we are doing it as unto the Lord.

“And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.” (Colossians‬ ‭3:23-24‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

I understand how doing good can make you weary—when others are unappreciative or take advantage of you, despite you giving your best to do good. It can feel pointless at times because people can be so heartless.

However for you are doing good mainly as for the Lord Jesus, and not for men. The Lord will reward you, even if men’s intentions were impure.

We have a Kingdom prepared for us that is an unshakable inheritance. While we are here in this world, let us pray at all times, share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and showcase God’s love by doing good, using the gifts and grace we have received. That is the best we can do while waiting for the Lord’s imminent return!

Sheet Pan Stuffed Pastry Pockets
Servings: 8

INGREDIENTS
¼ cup all-purpose flour (30 g), for dusting
2 sheets puff pastry, thawed if frozen
1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water or milk

GLAZE
1 cup powdered sugar (120 g), sifted
1 tablespoon milk
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

STRAWBERRIES ‘N’ CREAM FILLING
¼ cup cream cheese (55 g), softened
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 strawberries, stemmed and diced

VERY BERRY FILLING
⅓ cup raspberry (40 g)
⅓ cup blueberry (35 g)
1 tablespoon sugar
½ tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon lemon zest

CHOCOLATE BANANA FILLING
¼ cup chocolate hazelnut spread (75 g)
1 banana, sliced

APPLE PIE FILLING
½ green apple, sliced
1 tablespoon brown sugar
⅛ teaspoon cinnamon

PREPARATION
1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to 9x12-inch (23x30-cm) rectangles. Set one pastry sheet aside and fold the other in half lengthwise, then in half crosswise twice, to form creases for 8 pockets. Unfold the pastry sheet on the prepared baking sheet.

2. Make the Strawberries ‘n’ Cream filling: In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla, and mix until smooth.

3. Make the Very Berry filling: In a small bowl, mash the raspberries, then add the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix with a fork.

4. Spoon the berry mixture over the center of 2 of the 8 rectangles.

5. Use a spatula to spread the chocolate hazelnut spread over the center of 2 more rectangles, then top with the banana slices.

6. Use a spatula to spread the cream cheese mixture in the center of 2 more rectangles, then top with the strawberries.

7. Place apples slices in the center of the remaining 2 rectangles, then sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon.

8. Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

9. Brush the egg wash over the pastry around the edges and between each filling, then top with the remaining puff pastry sheet. Use your fingers to press the pastry down around each filling. Once tightly pressed, use a pizza cutter or knife to cut out each pocket.

10. Seal the outside edges with a fork. Poke the top of each pocket with a fork 3-4 times to ventilate. Brush the tops with egg wash.

11. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.

12. Make the glaze: In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Stir until smooth and thick.

13. Remove the pockets from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Decorate with the glaze, then serve immediately, or wrap in wax paper and freeze for up to a week. Reheat in the toaster oven.

14. Enjoy!

By cooling the egg white in the freezer, you can make finer meringue.
(the cake will be more fluffy)

***れしぴ置き場***

【材料】15cm　底取れ型
卵黄 3個
グラニュー糖  10g
クリームチーズ  50g
薄力粉  20g
コーンスターチ  20g
*コーンスターチを加えるとより軽い焼き上がりになりますが
無ければ薄力粉を40gでもokです
プレーンヨーグルト　200g
*今回は雪印のメグミルクヨーグルト(無糖)
水切りせずにそのまま使います
レモン皮　1個分

メレンゲ
卵白  3個
グラニュー糖  60g
レモン汁　小さじ1/2

トッピング:溶けない粉糖

【作り方】
準備:
型の底と側面にオーブンペーパーを敷きこむ。
(側面のオーブンペーパーは型よりも高くする、動画では高さ8cmのものを使用)
側面のオーブンペーパーにはバターを塗っておく。
こうすることで生地が張り付かずに上に焼き上がります。

①卵を卵白と卵黄に分ける。
(卵白は冷凍庫で15分ほど冷やす)
②ボウルに卵黄と砂糖を入れてよく混ぜる。
③クリームチーズを加えてよく混ぜる。
④薄力粉とコーンスターチをふるい入れてよく混ぜる。
⑤ヨーグルトとレモンの皮を加えてよく混ぜる。
⑥湯煎用のお湯を沸かす（50～60℃）
オーブンを190°Cに予熱する。
⑦よく冷やした卵白を電動ミキサーでほぐしたらレモン汁を加え
初めは低速で立てる。
白っぽくなったら、砂糖の1/3を加えて中速にして立てる。
砂糖が溶けてなじんだら、残りの砂糖の半分を加えて立てる。
ツヤが出てきたら残りの砂糖を加えて立て、つのがゆっくりと
おじぎするくらいに立てる。
*** 泡立てすぎないように注意してください。
⑧メレンゲの1/3を⑤に加えて混ぜる（これを2回繰り返す）
⑨混ざったら、メレンゲのボウルに戻して、手早く混ぜる。
⑩型に流し込み、ゆすって表面を滑らかにする。
⑪底取れ型なのでそのままだとお湯が入り込むので、一回り大きなサイズの型に入れてから、2～3cm程度のお湯を注ぐ。
***そのまま底取れ型を天板に置いて湯せん焼きにする場合は、型の底を必ずアルミホイルで二重に包む。
⑫予熱したオーブン 190℃で 22 分焼いたら、扉を開けて温度を下げ
120℃に設定し直して25分間焼く。
***オーブンの機種や使う材料、型、生地の状態により焼き加減は違ってきますので、様子を見ながら焼いてください。
⑬オーブンの電源が切れたら扉を少し開けて1時間ほどオーブンに入れておき、ゆっくりと冷ます。
⑭冷蔵庫に入れて冷やす。

*湯煎焼きについて
天板にお湯を注いで焼くことにより、しっとりと焼き上がります。
(ぬるすぎるお湯だと庫内温度が下がってしまうので気を付けましょう)

*卵白について
冷凍庫で冷やすことにより、よりキメの細かいメレンゲを立てることが出来ます。(ケーキの焼き上がりがふわふわになります)

*焼き立てよりも冷やしてからの方が美味しいです。
出来れば翌日召し上がってください～。
