Not fussy eaters...

Salam to all..
A little cranky lately with the unpredictable weather. It rained yes, but just after that the weather changed, came the splitting headache...Gosh! I grumbled a lot this days..and with the construction going on at my house has worsen my allergy...bless me God! My mood was not into Cooking but still food has to be on the table..

Tonight's dinner..Nasi lemak Sotong.

Syukur to Allah, my family is no fussy eater..whatever is served they didn't grumble so far. But as a Mum, I think I know very well what suits their taste. And I have taught them to go simple.. like bread, noodles, salads and anything that I don't have to get myself *berperang* in the kitchen. Well, I guess since the day Hb got sicked and with no maid we started eating *simple to prepare food* So, since then, life seemed easy for me. Not that I don't prepare elaborate kind of food, I do love to.. only depends on the mood and occasion, kalau rajin, anything I could think of, I will bake. But kalau malas, memang tengok recipe apa pun tak ada maknanya.

My *simple to prepare* Beef Tortillas.
My kids love it!!

My *not nice to look at* Seri Muka Durian
..But nicee to the maximum, heee..

My daughter had been very busy with assignment this few weeks before the semester end. As for the course she's taking..learning about Human behavior... visiting Kindergarden and Old folks Home as being part of the assignment. Never could I imagine my dear princess in this stressful position..but she love every bit of it! I am more than glad that she's matured and dedicated for what she fully focus on. Each time she has to go for discussion and coming back late night..God knows, how worried I was, but only with doa' to God that could safe her..insyallah.
The previous Wednesday night my niece Kamelia spent the night at our place. She too, stressed with the coming exam. Anyway girls.......A dream doesn't become reality through magic, it takes sweat, determination and hard work.

Kamelia..she just turned 21

And my girl..coming soon!

Hey girl, you're eating on Papa's plate..

Salad is our favorite, and easy to prepare too.

Yoo hoo! who are these guys? Well.. he is my cousin Megat and his dear wife..came to visit us after quite sometime being busy, Err!..I guess. Compliment! whatever I cook, makes this gentlemen drools...and that, delights me.



And Cuttoo day. At Roslina's house Kelana Jaya.
On the 8th, March at Lunch time..

She cooked Nasi Kerabu..yummeh!

The host Roslina, standing beside Nor and the others.

The desserts were to die for..
The Caramel is the best I've ever eaten.
And roti jala with durian filling..strange but nice.

It's March..The girls, celebrating the same birthday
with their RVC *red velvet cake*

Have a nice Sunday with your love ones....
Adios!

My Monday Blues..

This was the scene at 9.30 am this morning. Jammed... slowed moving vehicles. We were on the way to Damansara Specialist Centre.. Hb's appointment with Dato Dr Zurin.
Argh! Memang lengguh kaki tekan brake! But this is the normal senario each time I sent Hb to Physio or appointments.

Then...

At Damansara Specialist Centre, Hb was the third patient. Normally patients will take 30 to 45 minutes with Dr. Zurin. We arrived at 10.20 a.m...another boring part.. the waiting!.. more than an hour. Everytime we saw patients existing from the Doctor's room, the little nasty voice in me
would say *lama nya...* But when it's our turn..hehe, we took 45 minutes, bersembang sakan! Dr Zurin was very pleased to see Hb's improvement though slow...Alhamdullillah! The next appointment will be in May.

The waiting...

Then..

The time was at 1.20 pm we decided to have a quick lunch at Uncle Lim, Subang Parade. Only then we realized *lapar* to the maximum..*I la tu..* We had to hurry back home..another appointment with our contractor. Sigh! the progress is slow for my backyard project..

Our food..

Stopping for some fruits at MBG Fruits store

Adios...

Mukhriz's b'day!..and the best of blogging!

Circus and Clown was the theme of the Party..
That little guy/cute tiger... Mukhriz was 1 year old on last Sunday. Son of Jasmin and grandson to my Sister Intan. Started at 3pm and until.. when the guest had stopped eating, hehe.. My sis and her daughter had prepared so much nice and tasty food..I *ta'pau food back home... Kalau tak bawak balik, kelaparan la my son and Hb during dinner time...*tak masak!..memang nak mintak pun* They both did not tagged along..*it's children's stuff, said Hb. I went with maid Anik and my daughter.

Nice bright colors that goes well with the theme.

The Doa Selamat was done before the party started..
My nephew Taqi can be seen at far left.

My daughter with my sister and her cousin.

With my Aunty Wan Chu and Cousins.

This entry would not be complete without pictures of my food...ya tak....
Yesterday night's dinner... Chicken Sandwiches with Salad, it's nothing
to brag about...


But sometimes, I asked myself... why do I have to snap photos giler2 *bukan sedap benar pun* and let the world know what I have been cooking or doing? Why ya?....Well, my answer is... I love to share my interest with those who appreciate about life and what not... as much as I love to blog walk on others and being *kepo*

Mine

Hb's

Banyak benefits we could get..recipes, guide to a better lifestyle *the way you prefer lah*
There are so many interesting about life to share.... And sometimes, you get plenty of ideas about eating places, affordable holidays or whatever in particular.....the idea is.. *Sharing*



And the best part is when you get feed back through comments. Macam2 pandangan from the bloggers..And that's why I love to share what I know like showing my simple cooking as a Foodie. At the same time, I got lots of recipes and ideas from the bloggers that I intai2 every now and then....

This is Wantan *or cantonese mee* inspired by
Cik Som from Al kisah...kan senang, tak tau
nak masak apa..intai sana sini. To me..
Blogging makes life easier!

Yang ini dessert kanji Som Som I did 2 days ago..
from my Mum's recipe.

And....

Last but not least...when I was wandering at Midvalley yesterday, I was fascinated by this nice beautiful cafe..*Garden* The cafe is in between Old wing and The Gardens. It's other branch is in One Utama. I had no intention of stopping for a cup of coffee but at least I made time to look at the Menu.. not too bad..affordable for a cuppa with dessert. Awww! Must try, must try next time and will let you guys know..okay!

Adios...

Que Sera Sera...

When I wake up in the morning my duty as a wife and mother begins..
The waking up is always the hardest part *Solat Subuh* as a Muslim encouraging one another to do the right thing, either they listen and perform willingly.. only God knows. But as for the person who reminds.. that is ganjaran, after all... they are the closest to us. But if you are to start your morning in a stressful manner, then your whole day will be spoiled. So.. I am taking it easy and taking a deep breath as I start to wake the kids up. Kalau boleh with the count of three I expect them to be up on their feet...or my pressure will be rising, hikhik.. Yes, I used to do that when they were younger, everything to the count of three. God! I miss those moment with them. Now, totally different, they are all adults. But then the tension is still the same every morning.

Yesterday's dinner, Baked Salmon and Smoke Beef

I hope when they leave their nest or their *bantal bushuk* they' be wiser...

I need to except and enjoy every moment with them.. Sometimes the smallest thing in life changes something forever and there will be times when you wish you can go back to how things used to be, but you just can't.. b'cos things have changed so much...

Tonight's dinner, Spaghetti Peperoni with Prawns

I am trying to cope every possible way to be in a steady mood, to take things in my stride... I do not want my anger to control my mind and behavior. It's easier said than done. I normally failed as my heart controlled my mind. A lot of changes I wish to make in order to be a survivor, as a Mum or a better human. Like.. be prepared when I meet a crooked path along my journey, and how to handle it well. Kalau boleh not blame it on the fate. What the future is like you can never predict. But at least, you could learn from your past.. I never expected I would be in the situation whereby I am stronger than Hb.. I always thought otherwise. Nothing can stop it from happening. So, what come may..


My Hb complaint pain on his right side of his body yesterday...mula lah I gabra! I can't helped it.. It has been close to two years already, still.. it saddened me ever to see him feeble at times or walking wobbly after a long rest. We got through it alright! tho lots of obstacles had come our way.

Cinnamon Rolls for Tea, today.

Beside sending Hb to Physio, I did not have anything much to do, as my normal living space is limited with the presence of the contractors. Happy to see Hb occupied himself with the Indon workers who were busy doing the construction. Like other days, I would normally be in my garden or spending time at the Patio reading, painting or what so ever. But since the renovation took place, I've no choice but to be indoors keeping myself busy with my lappy. Not much left to be done, just waiting for the sandstones to be delivered and by then everything will be completed...insyaallah! I can't really wait for I wanted so much to get some plants for my backyard. And also can't wait to start cooking at my new *open concept kitchen* at the backyard, heehee..

While Hb 1st day at Pantai Hospital... I was at Bangsar Village
at Plan B having Caramel Slice and Flat white coffee.

Meanwhile at home...
While baking my buns, my Sister Liza and Dira came to visit us.



Adios..

What's for Dinner, this time?

My bougainvillea flowering proudly in my garden.

I let down a breakfast invitation from Yatie yesterday morning. A breakfast Treat at Club Subang. It was an unplanned Gettogether until the night before. Yatie dear, selamattt.. diet ku kali ni but still in my mind I cannot forget that delicious Dim Sum..hmmm..boleh rasa ni! By the way Yatie, thank you for the invitation and you know, I would loved to join, but due to certain circumstances..sorry!

Mengaji after dinner...
I invited Mengaji group over to my place on Wednesday night. The normal group was never on time but not my Ustazah, she always arrive on the dot. I had baked them something light for dinner, Quiche, potato salad and Chocolate banana cake. It was a warm and humid night..tak terkata. Linda, my guest had a splitting headache and was in no mood to indulge the food I'd served. Most probably, there will be a break from mengaji until April..a few of them will be going for Holidays.

Quiche and Chocolate Banana Cake. Oh! where is my
Potato Salad...

Abundantly full in calories, requested by the group..

A slice of Chocolate banana cake..the sponge cake was
a new recipe. Somehow, I still prefer my old one which is moist and spongy.

And some menus from last week dinner..

I baked it again for dinner 2 nights ago, Yogurt raisins Bread.
We can't seem to get enough of it..
It's nice to dunk into Mushroom Soup

This guy, who's very particular of what he eats

especially Home Bake Bread. And to my
pleasant surprise, my Son enjoyed the new recipe.

Yesterday's Dinner, Mee Kuah Tulang Tomato.
I substituted Spaghetti instead of Mee Kuning.
Not only it tasted good but healthy too...

The Usual Thursday Outing *Hb's Physio Day*...at Midwalley..

Hb's physio had been shortened from three to once a week since 3 months ago at U Hospital. And by next week he will be going back to Pantai Bangsar at the Hand Unit Therapy also for once a week. Yup..he'll be under the care of two Hospitals this time. And looks like I have extra visiting/wandering Malls again.....

We hang out at Starbucks for a quick coffee.

Have a Productive Weekend, peeps..
Adios.....
