Looking at the calendar I can't help but must say, as if one cannot be reminded enough, that more than half a year has passed! Gosh~~ August feels like the peak of Summer as the weather gets exceptionally hotter, even during the nights. However, I guess I should be thankful that it's just about the right weather for me to get used to since I will be returning to Singapore this month! How exciting is that?! Haha! For those who are not familiar with the weather in Singapore, it's literally Summer all year-round less the days when rain falls. Correct me if I'm wrong since I have been away from home for the longest time! And because it's Summer, we had been experiencing unusually slow traffic when we headed out to the neighbouring city during the past couple of weekends, since we were in the same direction where many (seemingly coming from everywhere) were heading to the beach; pretty much a trend that I've observed since the start of Summer. This is one very different from Singapore as people in Singapore gets to go to the beach almost throughout the year.
Anyway, the cooped in the car due to the jam prompted me to bake something that's handy to pack and go without the need for special care handling. And immediately these French Madeleines came to mind. They are just one of the best snacks to enjoy in the car since they aren't messy to eat and they taste good whether hot or cold. Packing them for the road trip totally helped ease the anxiety from being stuck in the jam. Actually, they are just perfect for any occasions! ^_^
