Frankly, I don't keep track. If I ever remember, I will be …

Peking duck is prized for the thin, crispy skin with authentic versions of the dish serving mostly the skin and little meat. It's claimed that these ducks are bred specially for the dish, which after 65 days are slaughtered and seasoned before it is roasted to perfection.

Have you realized I stubbornly refuse to bake because I just can't bake ? My desserts are either jelly or slushy; and my baked snacks such as this pie, that pie, this puff, that puff, this pastry, that pastry are all made with the help of frozen puff-pastry.

This is very easy to use and targeted for my needs. More interestingly, my …
