Glorified Maruya

For the past few days, I've been trying to find time to turn our stock of Cavendish bananas into cakes. It has been sitting in the freezer for a week already. Yesterday, after a busy weekend, I finally had the chance.

I initially wanted to share the fruits of my labor at the homeowners' meeting. But, it took me a while to locate my recipe. After a few minutes of sifting, mixing and scooping, I finally have my banana cupcakes with chocolate chips. All 36 pieces of them, not counting the mini-muffins.

At first glance, I thought they looked pale. I took a bite to see how it tastes. It lacks some sweetness. Then, it dawned on me. I forgot to put sugar into the batter. No wonder the consistency is different.

Blame it on multi-tasking. The busy day has taken its toll on my cakes. I feel bad for Vic who helped scoop the batter into the muffin pans. He won't be rewarded for his hard labor =D

Heck, even maruya had sugar in it.

I must've visited almost all reseller shops I've seen on the road.  I've noticed that these shops carry the top 3 popular ones:  Hermes, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.  There still are several pieces of Balenciaga, Valentino, Tory Burch, Celine, Gucci and Michael Kors but not as abundant as the top 3.  I guess what carries the most value are the three popular ones. If you are looking for cheap designer bags, I suggest checking out Don Quixote.  You will usually find on the topmost floors on Donki.  I think this is the one in Shinjuku. I am not so sure. You find them arranged like this or inside locked glass cabinets.  I'm sure the artisans who made these bags will tu...
