Pineapple tarts and more baking

Finally decided to bake some pineapple tarts. Suppose to make them during Chinese New Year but just didn't have the time for it! I'm such a glutton for punishment though. I must love to spoil my family!

I did manage to get Graham to help me with the pineapple - teaching him how to clean up all the "eyes" and cut it up the way I was taught to do so when I was growing up back in Malaysia:

Had to separate all the little bits of pineapple puree into little dollops.  Suppose to be quite consistent, but I guess it didn't matter too much to Graham. Ha!

Charlie did help out with the dough as well - all hands on deck!

Yuuumm...!!

There was some other baking on Wednesday too, as I didn't have any work.  Apple cinnamon muffins. Also yummm!! :-)

And I also decided to bake some bread.  The kitchen was too cold and since we had the gas fireplace on downstairs, I figured it would be a good spot for the bread to rise:

Very romantic bread-rising moment. LOL!!

I've gotten to a point now where I just wear my baking (red) apron over my cleaning/cooking apron.  Ha!

Nothing like fresh baked bread with homemade meatballs:

Yeah, I think I do really spoil Bobby and the boys!
