Brunch on Thursday morning....and more menus.

Assalamualaikum..
Back again....
Phew! what can I say..trying my fingers to type but words wouldn't come.. I have so many things to write but, like I was hit by Mental block. Not that I was emotionally on anything, maybe the lack of interest on the blogging again. I guess the new fad, Instagram fascinates me more.

Capek sekali pagi ini !! Why? It was none other than preparing food. I was up as early as 6.30 am right after solat and started kneading my bread. Like hard work ya.. I enjoyed it. It was for a potluck brunch with friends this morning at 10 am, my place. I had promised the girls to bake Peach/cherry Pie and bread and of course preparing drinks.

But you know, two menus were never enough *i thought* again  I overdo it..  And the girls too got carried away as usual. Lastly a heartiest breakfast for the six of us...too much lol. With the abundance of food spread on the table, we did not know where to start, but eating like there is no tomorrow.

I baked Chocolate Ganache cake, on the small round stand plate

Attention ladies!! Where are our table manners? Where do we start first? Well, never mind the table manners as we were all starving for food as the time was past 10 am...bismillah hirahmanirohim.

Eating while enjoying our conversation, the story telling...who talked and who listened and non stop putting food in the mouth without realizing how many kueh had gone inside our small tummy *wink*....haha.

Me, as a hostess, I just can't stay put on my chair...will make sure my guest were well taken care of..*that's one of my not relax attitude..bad bad bad*

 
After a garden tour and the helping out with dirty plates, they left at 1.00 pm. And of course the laughter and the loud noise must have made my Hb jealous..  Hb dearest did not come down at all as he was having sore eye...nothing serious, just some redness on the right eye and was already treated by a doctor. And a tray full of food brought up to him...to make him happy! Ooh la la..
Looking forward for another potluck brunch in my house again. Remember with the overflow coffee and tea, the food on our table and also not to mention the noise we could make...yup friends we do it again..In shaa Allah.

And here is a recipe for my dear Reen.. thank you for reading my blog. What is happening to your blog anyway? I love to see your craft work again.. 

Puff Pastry Peach Tart

INGREDIENTS
1 Sheet of frozen Puff Pastry dough (thawed for 20 minutes)
2 Cups of sliced Peaches (from 4 medium-size Peaches)
Flour for working with the Puff Pastry
2 TB of Butter
1 TB of Granulated Sugar + Powdered Sugar..( I added about 1 tbspn jam and spread on the pastry before putting the Peaches)
Whipped Cream or Ice Cream or (for serving)
METHOD
1. Place the thawed Puff Pastry on a floured baking sheet, unfold the Puff Pastry & roll it to a 8″ X 12″ rectangle. Working quickly, & keeping the Puff Pastry well floured, cut it into four 3″ X 8″ pieces. Place in the fridge for 10 minutes.
3. Slice the Peaches (skin on or removed) into a small bowl & add the Lemon Juice & Sugar. Carefully place the slices of Peaches overlapping down the center of each Pastry rectangle, leaving a 1/2″-inch border around the edges. Dot the top of the peaches with the Butter. Sprinkle the Puff Pastry & the Peaches with the reserved 1 TB of Sugar.
3. Place the rack in the center & preheat the oven to 400°F. Add the baking sheet & bake the Puff Pastry Tarts for 15 minutes, or until puffy & well browned.
4. Remove & allow to cool. Sprinkle with Powdered Sugar & prepare to plate.
5. Serve with Whipped Cream or Ice Cream.
Happy baking, Reen...
