Happenings in the 2nd week of April

Asalamualaikum...

We had leafy greens Salad for dinner tonight. I added Pasta, baked Chicken and Potato. Avacado, Cranberry and Raisins too. A dash of  Olive oil and a splash of Lemon and brown sugar as dressing...superb!!
For lunch, I cooked Ikan Tiga Rasa upon requested by Hb dearest and Fried Asparagus with Udang kering. We left to Subang for Acupuncture after lunch and I visited my friend for about an hour...and stopped at Carreforre on the way back to get my groceries... AlhamduIlillah, the whole day I was on the move at the same time managed to cook complete meals for the day.

Wednesday..

Fried Mee hoon with Fried Salmon seasoned with herbs and chilli flakes. I was desperately out of idea on what to cook. Rasa nak makan mee hoon and ikan....and ended that menu above. So far, no complain, hehe.

No intention to blame on the weather...but it's undeniable the temperature is far above average. It's cloudy and warm the last few days. When I drove to Subang to have breakfast with friends yesterday morning, I had to wear my sunglasses eventhough the weather was gloomy and hazy...sakit mata.  And we ought to be careful of what we eat too. I should have known..makan makanan yg tak terlalu lemak or berminyak. Cuaca yang panas can upset your tummy from the food you eat and seterusnya naik ke kepala. But thank God!!! it rained yesterday night and this evening..syukur!

 Since Monday, I had drawn down the curtains and resting in the semi darkness feeling sicked nausea and splitting headache. Alhamdullillah I was on my feet again and off to meet my friends..

We had Breakfast at Upstairs Subang, it was a Treat by Mala. Very sweet of her to invite us
 who did not attend the Cootoo gathering last week. Two hours with friends and quickly packed lunch for Hb and rushed home before my dearest daughter leave for class.

And here are two menus I prepared for the family..  soft diet. And it helped not only for the stomach but something different from our normal diet.

Congee, or Bubur Nasi.

And Yee Mee Fish Soup for lunch on Tuesday. Hmm, rasa lega dan segar  badan selepas habis semangkok...Soup is always my favorite.

A few days ago..

And this was what we had.. Chicken with Pumpkin and Avocado Salad.. The  chicken was quite oily and pumpkin could have make my tummy gassy.

Saturday..
Ladies in the neighborhood organized High Tea cum fund raising for the new Mosque to be built at our Area. Eat, spend and earn a place in Jannah. We had makan2 *that's for sure*  jumble sale, and lucky draw. Guess what, guess what??? Yeay... I had won a Gift Certificate One Buffet Dinner for 2 at a Hotel.

The Hi Tea was done in a one of my neighbor's house, who was so gracious to offer her place for the venue. Abundance of food spread not only on the main dining table but everywhere.

Happy ladies after being served good food and gifts

Goodnight and sweet dreams..
Adios.

Live life..

Asalammualaikum, and Good day everyone.
No better way to wake up with a good breakfast on the table!!
We started our day with Scones this morning..nice feeling having to chew this yummy crunchy bread.

Spreading it with jam and honey, what better way to wake up with smiles on everyone's face ..I love that!



I took too long to post a new entry. More than ten days from my last one..baru nak bernafas sedikit untuk berkongsi secebis of my life story and menus...hoping that I don't  bore you readers. How I wish to write and share more often, tapi tak terdaya..due to my in and out schedule and commitments. 
After so many months resting from the frequent driving my Hb for therapy, last week Hb started his Acupuncture and massage at a new Chinese Medical Chiropratic. Situated at Subang SS17 for twice a week. Whilst, maintaining the physiotherapy once in a week at our area...still hoping for the best... InSha Allah. Eventhough tak jauh mana dari rumah but the traffic in Subang, Subhanallah!  jam.

 Nasi Goreng for last night dinner.

There was one time, after I dropped Hb and drove to Empire. The journey to Empire from SS17 took more than 15 mins due to the construction works that is going on. Searching for parking was another problem, took me another 15 mins as it was nearly lunch hour. Imagine, how long can I spent in there.. time was too short, one hour to spare. Enough for a quick run to the Grocer.. got some things and off back to fetch Hb...braving the rush hour. Yesterday, I hang around at McDonald SS15 with my girl sharing the Menu set lunch Nugget to fill up my hungry tummy while waiting for Hb to have lunch somewhere.  By the time we got home it was already mid afternoon. It's heart wrenching to see dearest Hb after the session done.. physically drained out due to the massage. And me.. strong at heart..and still, still trying to be strong both mentally and physically to live my life...In shaa Allah, only with God's will!

And..

Our simple dinner..Fish Soup Meehoon

Last Monday, my eldest son took leave to settle some things with Papa.. and we went to Solaris Publika. The best thing was.. I still did not know how to get there..tiba2 dah sampai. Ever since I have been a driver to my Hb and it's like a blessing to be chauffeured around especially seated at the back seat...wah! relaxing.
I don't think I like Publika..it's a different environment from the normal Shopping Complex. Bigger space from one shop to the other....tak tau mana nak cari kedai, it is so confusing... to me. Still plenty of empty shops or maybe the place is still new.

A few inviting Food Cafes around but a bit curiga with the Halal sign and not shown anywhere. When asked.. it's Pork Free.  Hb felt that the best and safest place was Mee Jawa's cafe. The food was okay tho was slightly pricey. What do you expect..it's in Publika. I highly recommend the Assam pedas. Tasted more like Assam laksa gravy.. sweet and sour. Maybe with the pineapple added together made the gravy more umph! Yum yum..

Then to Empire for a cuppa at Coffee Bean after having bought my long wait colored tea pot kettle..haha. Now, with that in the house, we have no problem having hot tea/coffee in a jiffy.

 Comel kettle saya!!

Last Sunday..
We were invited by my nephew Taqi for lunch. His wife Mimi  made a yummy lunch but claimed herself as 'budak baru belajar' I must say it was a good one for a first timer..bravo!
Though, Taqi's birthday had passed the day before ..we still had a chance to share his Blue Chelsea fan  cup cakes. His mum my sister Teh with her Hb and Izian were around. We went back after tea, and my sis Teh later came to spend a night at my place...

Pavlova for dessert done by Mimi, and that Fruit Pie

look familiar..ya, hehe. Well, a gift for Taqi from his dearly Acik.

Nasi Tomato with three curries.

Meanwhile..

Cooking as always depending on my time and mood, sometimes simple and at times quite elaborate. The Laksa cooked after having a long chat on the phone with my sis Leeza. Was like a spur of the moment when I saw the noodle..without planing or preparation. And my dear Syaf..had two serving at one sitting. Hmm..no better way to see a smile on yr children's face having their favorite food cooked! But not a daily routine anymore, food only cook when time permit..

And that was early lunch on last Wednesday before sending Hb for Acupunture which started at 12.30 pm. I wouldn't want him to get hungry while doing the therapy.

Cold Pasta Salad made from leftover Turkey I had baked for my daughter's birthday. And the pasta too was also left over. We really enjoyed these Salad very much..I dare say it's very delish!!!
That was how I prepared dinner...haha, never waste food.

Okay peeps..till the next entry..
Adios!!
