Strangely hungry..eating schedule mixed up!

Aslamualaikum..
I was behaving strangely hungry this time around, nak berkudap sentiasa...what's happening! My eating schedule must be a bit mixed up, the Raya season with no controlled eating anything anytime without even being picky. After breakfast and 3 hours later I was running to the fridge and grabbed whatever knick knacks I could find. Like Chips, asam jeruk, and fruits. Fruits, the jeruk and chips, those triggered my throat lol,  masih ada phlegm, still coughing sometimes. And the chips it's bad bad bad! 
I love fruits and can eat at all time. I sometime added Yogurt and sprinkle some nuts and a little brown sugar for taste. Lunch, it's either rice or noodles that's easy to prepare.. I must have Carb once a day to make me feel alive, celik mata ku..*kalau tak, tak kenyang.
For Dinner tonight, after surfing through the Net, looking for simple dinner recipes... ended making Pizza..



Meanwhile last night..

Egg Mayo Sandwiches/Beef Sandwiches with Salad also added with left over Roast Beef.
Prepared those from left overs.


I thought I could skip lunch today, had late breakfast with friends at La Bodega.. it was a belated birthday Treat for Yati, Mala and Me. While Hb at home with an old friend came to visit him.
 About 3 pm, I was trembling macam tak makan sehari...argh!
 Nasib lah ada left over Meehoon that Anik fried and a slice of RV cake...Ish ish, sure nak gemuk ni..

My Flat white...

Nothing new, our usual 'Big Breakfast' at La Bodega.

The gang..

Mala, the last to come..


Last Sunday....
 Raya had past more than a week now, but we still entertained family..
My cousin Mardiah with her family lunched at our house. We visited her earlier at her lovely home in Subang. She cooked us Nasi Tomato and some delicious dishes. Due to too many programmed during the Raya she had to postpone her visit to my house.

Some kampong dishes...


  
Dear Peeps, while writing this entry I am on my bed with fruits and tea brought to my room
still feeling grrr grr in my tummy....Oh tidak..jangan ikut kan hati!
Nite nite and Adios..

Here comes Zulkaedah.. life back as normal

Aslamualaikum..
 After Syawal here comes Zulkaedah, no more Raya..*finito* My daily life is back to normal, busy with my garden and cooking simple food for the family.

 French beans planted at the back garden

 Mee hoon/kuayteow with Tomato gravy.

I enjoyed my baring2 at anytime I wish to..that's bad.
I had my lunch cooked early today when my sister Teh called up.  They stopped for lunch and left to Port Dickson at her In Laws house.. 
Cooked easy peasy Nasi lemak, Sambal Sotong and Bake chicken. Hb wanted Fried Chicken, I said NO.. baking is healthier. We waited almost two pm when they arrived..*berkeronchong perut*
Good enough, trying banyak2 to fill in the tummy as I had always never learn when comes to masak nasi or any dishes like as tho I am cooking for kenduri *berlebihan*

My sister Teh and Abang Din

Must have.. RV Cake.

The weather was warmth, gloomy with dark clouds but so so humid. I would never be without a fan spinning near me. And a person like my hubby is even worst with bad sensation on some parts of his body was pricking like a sharp knife or sometimes numbness. Depending on the temperature, hot or cold... the feeling is extra than the normal people feel. He can't stand the fan as the wind that blow will be painful on his skin. Unless the Aircon, that could soothe him but not for long either.
Strange kind of sensation for those who has Nerve problem..the blood circulation does not circulate well. Hb had stopped medication that related to the sensation..*pain killers* All pain killers has side effects. He would rather refrain the burning sensation he said than having to have his kidney to work hard and giving problem in later years. Well, as for us, we are trying to tolerate with his cranky mood at the present time. What more to make life meaningful as a family.
One way that we could make him forget or ease the funny feeling/sensation was by going out..
The best place is always somewhere cool.. so where else, to the Mall.
And to relax with coffee.......and the sinful but mouth watering food to go with.
It's Tea for Two at T 42 with three people sharing it. Yup! more than enough with two tier tray desserts. Oh!! It's a Treat anyway by Fifa.

Picture from i Phone 4s

At T 42, Bangsar


I adore very much the tea cup sets served...sometime with shocking red, according
to the drink you ordered.


Other things that makes him comfortable is watching TV... favorite channel 710.
He has been following almost all Fox programme *investigations series*

 Watching TV, is his favorite not only past time but all the time. Never mind, if that makes him happy...for as long he does his duty to God and some exercise to his body...
like...

Sunbathing in the garden is also part of the therapy.
 Cool, huh!

Peeps, I am yawning away.....mengantuk!
Till we meet again Insyallah.
Adios..

The closing of Syawal..

Aslamualaikum..

The Spirit of celebrating the month Syawal has already ended. Alhamdullillah, the lapse to control of over indulgence as in food galore and excessive visitation is over.  Fun but hectic at the same time.. trying to minimize time and not to mention time taken on travelling...whooh!!
Too many activities during the Raya with food that served or being served. And too many words that being described on such lovely presentations on the food anywhere I went for the Open Houses. However, I still wish to share the lovely occasions to viewers out there who never miss to read my simple Foodie but Mouth Watering delights blog. To inspire on any sort, on food or anything or sharing in the same photos on the occasions that we all *my friends* attended together.

So let the pictures tell us the story...

My Raya....Open House.

Asalamualaikum..
We are still in the month of Syawal..rasanya diet tak terkawal langsung. You ate like you have no tomorrow... tho in a small portion but you know kalau berhari2, macam melabur lemak tepu di dalam badan.
We had lamb straight 4 days berturut2...badan panas and so as my throat. My cough was getting bad. I could not sleep well for the past nights. At daytime wasn't so bad only during the night it was unbearable....coughed till yr stomach macam nak pecah terkeluar. I did try a few remedies but didn't work. I was feeling grouchy and drowsy...went to the Clinic hoping to get rid of the stubborn phlegm if the cough mixture works this time....*I nak tidur lena malam ni*
My Hb too likely under the weather. He had been resting and looking tired...I cooked fish soup again for dinner tonight.

Fish soup with Yee mee

Dinner last night..

Hmm.. Dory Fish soup noodle that helped to soothe my throat..

And ...Camomile tea too..

 Despite the cough I made an effort to attend Open houses.
 God, should I just look and stare at the food?? Kalau tak makan, mesti kecik hati Host..

Huhu..menangis badan ni terkejut dengan makanan. Whatever it is, try to do some exercise. It will help to throw some fats out! I had been imagining running and warming up around the house..*however no effort made so far*  Insyallah will do!!!
Adios.
