About Plants and Food..

Aslmkm friends...
I kept myself busy with my garden. Love to see my plants growing and cannot wait for some to bare more flowers... The weather today, hot and sunny and sometimes gloomy and humid..making you sweating, and feeling not so fresh and smell *masyam..*- easily, especially when cooking at my outdoor...despite that I do love the surroundings where I get to be with my herbs and plants. My Lemon tree after so many years had bare one tiny fruit..Ohlalala...dah terlalu lama menunggu!

The same time, rather disappointed at some herbs that I bought almost a week ago..About 2 pots that didn't seemed to survive well.. cilantro *ketumbar* and mint leaves *pudina*.. could not adapt with weather here.. bawak turun dari Cameron Highlands..kata penjual di Sungai Buloh. But what about Oregano, Thymes, Rosemary these three is originated from the cold country.. they're quite hardy that can last for months and sometime years.

Rosemary, Oregano and Thyme look so healthy..

  Chillies

Peria *bitter gourd* I planted from seeds *wink*

 Left, the white bloom is Gardenia, new species, I bought for my Mum.

And my two chillies..still surviving..  Alhamdullillah... My orchids too growing healthy since I placed  them to somewhere shady and sheltered. Plants, Animals or even our Children are the same.. you have to attend to them, belai with kasih sayang yang ikhlas....you will get the respond in no time...
During the past, I normally bought plants from shoots *anak benih*  took care from scratch..Not anymore, no patient to wait until they're big enough for me to appreciate them..Tak sabo..Nah! kedebab I bawa balik from Sungai Buluh..and took care until become bigger shrubs. What ever size you bought..feeding and caring are about the same..The price of young shoots compare to the big shrubs, of course banyak beza, but berbaloi..To those who wish for a green garden or express one, buy one or two big shrubs. It depends on what plants you like.. Like Petunia, if you buy the small pot, cost you around 8 to 10 rm..small, tak sempat apa dah layu.. But if you get the bigger ones, cost about 25 rm and above...you sure get the satisfaction, big enough to enjoy the blooms in your garden.

What next..Food.
 

 

 After what happened last week, I was  awakened *not anymore of the comment*.. about how bad food can do to us..dengan berkobar2 rasa nak berdiet sekejap...but how long? I don't know, sekurang2nya ada rasa kesedaran.. Diet here means, You can eat but moderately..so, the picture of Scones above was prepared at one fine morning. It's a new recipe which I got it in the Net.. crunchy when you bite and soft like cake texture in the inside...then back to our normal Oats with fruits the next morning and so forth. This is one meal that both Hb and me never get bored with...yet it's healthy.

Since less Outing, I was more into cooking and my gardening...melayan tekak ni dengan makanan yang tak memudaratkan kesihatan. Eh.. do you see any Desserts displayed? Memang completely no sweets for the past few days.. berapa lbs lah turun ni.. Tapi, dah mula rasa nak bukak kitab2 resepi for Tea.

This was what we had for lunch today, something not elaborate but kenyang.. Alhamdullillah.

Yesterday..
 Monday,  Hb at Physio, once in a month at Pantai Specialist Centre..
 My girl was on study leave, asked her to tag along. We went to Bangsar Village *only 5 mins drive from the Hospital* intention was to stock coffee at the Groccer..*habis pulak, coming in a months time* and promised my girl to treat her breakfast at Plan B..

And she ordered Macchiato Coffee and Ox Tongue's sandwiches..*sedap giller* Well, I had a bite only, I know it's bad for Cholesterol and Uric acid.. As for Fifa, still okay, but not too much and don't make that as a regular food in your diet. I only had  Flat White Coffee, as I wanted to have lunch with Hb. We had lunch at Hasrul in Subang.


So..what's for dinner then?
Well, I had sent *whatsapp* to everyone who live under the same roof to get approval on this food for dinner...takut nanti complaint pulak Roti Jala for dinner!
The feedback I got...Alright, Ma!! Thank you, Cik Som, gara2 tengok you punya menu la tu...

Whilst I was making this Lacey Crepe, I was all over sweating, and I guess that was what make the food tasted ever so good....heeehhee!

Well, let me end it here, will get back in no time...

Adios...lovely peeps!!
