Chocolate Chips Cookies

Almost every novice home bakers will learn to bake cookies and muffins when they first started. I did my first bake when I was fourteen. My first bake was Rock Bun or Rock Cake and the recipe was from my Domestic Science textbook. The feeling then was ecstatic when the first tray came out of the oven.

Rock Bun is a small fruit cake with a crunchy texture and look like little rock, thus the name Rock Bun. It originated in Great Britain and  is a traditional teatime cake.  Rock bun is one of Harry Potter's favorite tea time treats.

There are hundreds of chocolate chip cookies recipes and I have tried baking no less than 8 recipes. I have not stopped my search for the best chocolate chip cookies yet, with each recipe more to my ideal each time I bake. This, for the time being is my recipe to go to, for soft centered cookies. Thank you Peng's Kitchen for recipe source.

Gift of Salvtion

Last Sunday school lesson was on God's gift to us, The Gift of Salvation. This gift is so precious and we must be thankful and grateful to God who sent his one and only son, Jesus who died on the cross for our        sins. Salvation is absolutely free, the true gift of God in Christ, and  we receive this gift by faith through the Grace of Jesus Christ.
