fondue for under $10? i can half that amt!

just tried a new cookin' experiment yesterday...

found 4 different bars of Toblerone Chocolate... you know... the triangular shaped thingy?

Anyway, 3 of the bars have expired...

But my aunt decided to melt all of it down into fondue...

How?

Easy...
Here's a step-by-step guide...

1. Prepare a non-metal and microwave-safe container. You'll be dealing with quite a bit of heat, so you have been warned.

2. break down the toblerone into single pyramid pieces. This will ensure a faster meltdown. Pour the pieces into the container

3. add approximately 1 cup of water into the container. I used half a cup The water will ensure that your toblerone melts without popping too much, splattering your entire microwave with a coat of chocolate.

4. Depending on your microwave's power, set the microwave to 3 minutes.

5. HEAT! and watch your toblerone melt into fondue + hot chocolate. Yes, Hot chocolate is a by-product in this meltdown process!

6. When the bubbles start getting near the brim of your container, stop the heating and remove the container carefully to let the thing cool. pour out the "hot chocolate". Pour in approximately 1 cup of water again. Remember: 400g tolberone to 100ml water (half a cup).

7. Continue heating until the chocolate has completely melted. Once done, pour out the "hot chocolate" and let both the hot chocolate and fondue cool down.

8. Serve the hot chocolate with a bit more water (to reduce the sweetness / concentration) and ice (for the fun of it and the chilling effect)

9. Spread the fondue over a piece of bread before it hardens! or, if you want, just freeze the fondue after it hardens from cooling to get chocolate!!!

Have fun!

SYF over at last... Now time for exams....

Finally... SYF has ended for our choir...

I'ld like to announce that the St. Andrew's Secondary School's Saints Choir has achieved a Silver award in the 2007 Singapore Youth Festival Central Judging Competition. This is not achieved without effort. This could only be done by numerous years of breathing, running, practicing, nagging, shouting, et cetera.

We understand that many are disappointed in the result which we have attained. Trust me, we did not wish for a silver. however, the choir faces many problems such as the measly number of singers (30, compared to 60 for other schools), and being an all-boys chorus, we have a problem getting our Sopranos and altos to adapt to the Tenor voice (half of our members have underdeveloped "deep voices" / voice boxes). To add to that, we lack the experience of taking part in an SYF. Unlike the band and drama, which took part in SYF regularly, our choir is making a comeback into SYF this year, making things slightly harder on us. As such, this could have been considered our first SYF. Most schools start getting Bronze before attaining a Gold (w/out Honours)

We wish we could have gotten a triple streak of Golds for every Performing Arts CCAs. however, that was not the case this year. But rest assured, because our school has been awarded the Sustained Achievement Award for Performing Arts. This can only be attained if (as far as I know) all Performing Arts CCAs get a minimum of a Silver or above for SYF. With the Choir's Silver and the Drama + Band's Golds, We have achieved this as a school.

Overall, the choir has put their best performance during the SYF. Never in any single practice had we done as well as our judged performance.

On behalf of the choir, I would like to thank all those who had been helping the members out with catching up on homework, studies, etc, and for the prayers and well-wishes from everyone. Specifically,

-Mr George Danapal
-Mrs Angela Lim
-Mr Matthew Tong
-Mrs Charles
-Mrs Joyce Ang (VP)
-Mrs Daphne Ang and the SFC members (we heard that you guys prayed for us. Thanks)
-The Drama team (thanx for coming down to personally give moral support)
-the numerous classmates...

And how could we forget these names? These teachers / mentors have trained us to be better choristers for this SYF
-Ms Deborah Gan
-Ms Jacinta Lim / Mrs Leong
-Mr William Lim (Conductor)
-Ms Felicia Chua
-Ms Chua Xin Yuan
-Mdm Alifa
-Ms Jennifer Tham
-Dr Zechariah Goh
-Mr Albert Tay
-Mr Matthew Tong
-Ms Juliette Lai


So once again, Thank you. Now who can help me w/ Chemistry???
