One day, she quietly used my printer to print some motifs on some Transfer Paper WITHOUT asking my permission. Transfer paper is used in textiles and arts and crafts projects. Transfer Paper is a thin piece of paper coated with wax and pigment. Often, an ink-jet or other printer is used to print the image on the Transfer Paper.
She Googled the ways to use Transfer Paper on a printer but did not check if the model of my printer was compatible. When the darn Transfer Paper got jammed inside the printer, she still did not tell me that it was a darn Transfer Paper. She just quietly unplugged the printer from my desk and placed in on the floor in the living room and played technician by Googling ways to remove paper jammed in a printer. When I asked her what she was doing, she said that a piece of paper got jammed inside. When I took a look at the jammed paper, something did not look quite right. The paper looked like sticker and it was disintegrated and stuck all over the roller!!! Finally she told me that it was Transfer Paper that she used! She had to tell me as she wanted my help.
😡
Then she begged me to buy alcohol rub for her coz Mr Google says that it can help to remove the sticky paper from the roller. But I ain't going to drive all out to hunt for alcohol rub at that hour of the day. It was already night. Then she begged me for some alcohol swab meant for medical use.
She spent more than 5 hours Googling ways to remove the darn Transfer Paper from the printer and dismantled the printer in her dramatic fashion.
She sure took a bawling out from me. Because she did not ask my permission to use my printer to print some darn sticky Transfer Paper, because of her impulsiveness, the printer is konked out now. If it is irreparable, I told her that I will take RM500 from her bank account to get a new printer.
Surprisingly, when I told the hubs, he was not storming mad at all! Surprise surprise! Instead, he tried to remove the paper from the printer. Both father and daughter almost pulled an all-nighter just to remove the darn paper from the printer but alas, because they are not hardware specialist, it was all in vain. Nothing worked.
The printer is now removed from my desk. The hubs will bring it to the hardware specialist to get it fixed.
Next boo boo was with a steamed pancake made earlier this week. She Googled for a new recipe for pancake and found one for steamed pancake. The recipe looks easy to make and the photos of the pancake sure looked scrumptious. But it was a failure. Either the food blogger keyed in the wrong measurements or Drama Queen did.
Imagine adding 4 huge tablespoons of baking powder into the batter! And the batter was so much that it looked like the pancake was going to be a gigantic one, enough to feed 20 people. The way it was steamed in the non-stick pan did not look too convincing to me.
Does the picture above remind you of Apam Balik (Chinese 'Tai Kau Meen')? And it smelled like Apam Balik and waffle. The smell was pretty appetizing though.
My creative baker used blue pea flower essence for the colouring. For the flavoring, she used fresh mango juice, evaporated milk, butter and fresh milk.
The pancake was slightly burnt at the bottom.
The texture and taste were similar to that of Apam Balik and it tasted not too bad. We ate a quarter of the supersized pancake and gave the rest to Kakak Maria.
