Capture the Everyday is about getting you to capture those everyday moments in your life! Each Thursday, Mel from Adeventuroo will issue a simple challenge to capture something that’s a part of your daily life. It’s a quick, easy way to start capturing those little parts of life we sometimes take for granted.
This week’s assignment: Something you need to upgrade.
I definitely need to upgrade my culinary skills and wares! With time on hand to spare now that I’m not working in Geneva, I would like to start upgrading my extremely basic baking skills. So, once we move into our new rented apartment, I’m heading out to get myself a basic set of baking-wares as well as enrolling in a class to try my hand at baking my favourite dessert – macaron.

Oh and next week’s challenge will be one that I’m looking forward to participating! 
That is a good one and one I definitely need to improve on as well. Color me impressed about the macaron making, I am obsessed with the macarons they sell at Elephant’s Deli in Portland but they look like a LOT of work.
Bon appetit!
Thanks Joules. Yeah I agree, macarons seem to look like a lot of work but I’ve been wanting to try my hand at it for the longest time. My blog-friend R from the Pleasure Monger whips up some really pretty ones and I’m dying to try her recipes!
Are those Lauradee macarons I see there???? MMmm.. LOL
You see right!! Laduree macarons it is. I can’t wait for Paris next week.. Pierre Herme macarons it will be!! Yippeee…
I would love to take a cooking/baking class. So far my inspiration comes from food blogs and cooking shows.
Yeah most of my inspiration comes from food blogs too… I wanted to take cooking/ baking classes now since I have time to spare in Geneva.
Oh fun! A cooking class would be so much fun! I LOVE kitchen supply stores. I find we’ve increased our supplies little by little although we did invest in good pots and pans. Our knives suck though– we need Henkel ones!
Yup.. I have a fascination with plates. I seem to keep adding them into our collection. Looking forward to some baking here in Geneva. Hope you get those Henkel knives soon!
I have been slowly but surely replacing our kitchen items. I want to take a cooking class!! That is the reason I love Whole Foods… they have fun little classes all the time.
I love replacing kitchen items too… kinda fun but of course a painful exercise as I am a stickler when it comes to matching plates and cutlery…
I could totally use help in the baking department too. I love that you are taking a class, sounds fun.
Yeah… now I just gotta register for classes.
Shouldn’t procrastinate otherwise places will run out…
do you have any favourite cooking websites, you can recommend? especially singaporean ones?
