Guess what I got for Valentine's Day.
Besides a dinner date with the single girls (not an all-expenses-paid thing, neither were flowers given), my mother gave me ingredients for my very own almond jelly.
Did I mention how much I love almond jelly? I love almond jelly. My dad's eldest sister makes the best almond jelly evar. It's the only thing I look forward to during Chinese New Year. Having wrangled the not-so-secret recipe from her in between angbaos and bak kwa, mum apparently thought it would a swell idea for yours truly to make her very own almond jelly on Valentine's Day.
So tonight, with four bowls of water, a half bowl of sugar, one bottle of almond essence, and one can of evaporated milk later, I have four servings of almond jelly, and am waiting for mum to try it first. Will let you guys know if things turn tragic.
