Sorry for the double post, but I wanted to bump the thread with new updates. I finally had the chance to upload new pics of my culinary adventures, some more fruitful than others. Here they are:

Chewy chocolate chip cookies

These came out perfect. Chewy with tons of chocolate chips. All my nieces (around 7 of them) feasted on them. I really have to thank Alton Brown for this one.

Melon Pan - the 3rd attempt
Before baking

After Baking

Best batch yet. The ones without the chocolate chips on top are filled with hazelnut chocolate cream. The cookie topping was nice, rich and crisp, while the bread inside was flavourful.

Baked Carbonara

Mixed feelings about this one. I did not mix the cream sauce into the pasta before baking and merely topped it. This resulted in uneven coating. Some parts of the casserole were perfect, while some lacked sauce and thus had little flavour.

Thick Crust Pizza with bacon and sausages

This really pissed me off because the bottom got burnt. It is literally inedible if the bottom part of the crust is not removed. My mom actually smelled the burning but chose to ignore it, which really ticked me off for both personal (the pizza) and safety reasons. Aside from the burnt parts, the crust and pizza were excellent.

Thin Crust Tom Yum Pizza and Classic Carbonara



The pizza was perfect, so much so that I had to post 3 pictures of it. This is my 3rd attempt at making thin crust pizza, and it seems the trite expression is true. I used Tom Yum sauce, which is basically a sour and spicy thai sauce, and topped it with chicken and mushrooms. The carbonara was made by my cousin under my instructions. It came out pretty well, only lacking a bit of salt IMO.
