Entry for today is a lil bit different from kitchen  and house's  entry as lady in the kitchen needs facial too ya..but she didn't go to the fancy salon..she did it at her very own bathroom when her two Princesses was sleeping and her  Prince watched Golf channel on TV:)

Pictures are all taken by Iphone;):)

Yup i bought this red box..this is my second buying:)

SKII giving many treats in conjunction with the festive season,there's many goodies in the box..i need to replenish few items so this is a good buy:)

If you ask whether SKII is really good?Well it depends on your skin..i dont want to promote ..i am not their ambassador but would like to share a product which is working well with me.Maybe i am not a good example because before this i didn't really  care about my face..for  so many years until the last 3 months i never use any moisturiser,toner or any of the 3 steps except cleanser..after i cleanse my face that's it.Then i noticed that my face was so dry,so many fine lines..due to age lah jugak kan..hee..hee..so i rasa i need to be fair to my face,to myself,kerja i nak menjaga rumah,masak kerja sana sini..so i should take care of my face too,..if you feel good ..semua pun jadi better:) First 2 weeks using SKII memang  quite bad for me ada rashes,small pimples..rasa tertipu sangat lah membuang duit yang boleh beli sebiji GUCCI..tapi sebab mahal tu kan i bertahan..after 3 weeks...can see the good result..bukanlah muka jadi model macam dalam gambar tu..yang tu memang dah cantik..tapi rasa skin clear,fresh:) This facial treatment mask is very good..after dah guna 1/2 jam memang ada iras2 model SK11 kat bilboard tu..muahhaaaa:):) pengsan!

Nak tunjuk sat barang kesukaan..i suka semua benda berasaskan pearl..tak kira lah yang asli atau tak..so yesterday i added few lagi to my collection.

After buka puasa last nite i kemas2 wardrobe Tia and Mia..too many baju lama inside..packed nak bagi our neignbour also nak bawak office..some people said i should sell preloved items online...but i simply malas..biarlah diberi pada yang lain..bila lihat sicomel sebelah pakai rasa happy..walaupun neighbour bukan orang susah..tapi sebab kita memang care dengan anak each other sejak dulu..dia pun sangat happy kalau kita bagi;)

After isyak bila Tia and Mia dah tidur i pun bubuh mask..menakuttkannnnnn!!!! kan..sebab tu kena tunggu they tidur...masa ni sedap merehatkan diri atas katil selepas buka puasa dengan sardin goreng,gulai lemak labu,tumis terung dan daging goreng kunyit:) semalam balik jam..pukul 7 baru sampai..dah azan maghrib masih menumis di dapur..husband balik dia datang sua air kat mulut masa i masak:):) ponek den tak sempat snap gambar berlumba menyuap saja;)

Then..tadaaaaa..hasilnya..wahhh it's shining  and menceriutkan.:)...kihhh..kihhh seriously after bukak mask few minutes tu duduk jer lah tengok depan cermin muka yang nampak bersih:):) tapi iphone ni tak lah clear sangat dan tak dengar ceriuuttttt tu....

Tapi kalau you peronyok-peronyok muka macam ni..nampak lah jugak kedut2 tu.:):) Actually i snap banyak gambar tapi rasa so poyo nak letak sini..i cariklah yang paling kelakar i rasa ni..hopefully not poyo:);) What poyo actually? he..heee...hee...Ok lah dah habis berfacial jom turun dapur tengok kat mana Heni dah sorok semua groceries.which mostly breakfast items yang beli lunch time tadi...kalau lunch tim eoffice jer..memang tertonggeng-tonngeng menolak trolley di supermarket kan:)

Heni ni kalau yang kat luar luar tu dia memang cukup concern dan pandai mengatur..kalau kat dalam2 ni kurenggg sikittt..hmmmm berangan sungguh i bila ada rezki nanti buat rumah i buat walk in pantry lebih besar dari bilik tidur untuk letak semua barang dapurrr..bestnya, i really love Chef at Home punya pantry...semua canned,bottled food tersusun rapi..semua ada stock tak lah bila nak masak baru pi beli:) bestnyer..bestnyerrrr..i likeeeee;);) Anyway tu lah cara Heni menyusun tak per weekend nanti i edit balik;)

I bought two can of waitrose chopped tomatoes with herbs..i love diced or chopped tomatoes..they are delicious..add to your pasta,lasagna or even burritos..they are lovely..masam2..keluar air liur tulis ni;)

I bought many items for quick breakfast..pasta sauce,mozzarella,my favourite feta,cheddar,fresh yoghurt..Tia Mia suka fruit salad with yoghurt. All this items can last for many breakfast actually..tips untuk simpan pasta sauce dalam bottle lama kalau dah bukak- normally kalau kita dah guna half bottle memang tak tahan lama lebih dia letak dalam fridge lama dia berkulat..so letak dalam freezer..nanti nak guna thaw it atau kalau terlupa nak keluarkan awal..rendam bekas dalam air suam:)That feta in olive oil makan dengan wholemeal bread begitu saja sangat lah sedap kalau suka;) kenapa lupa makan malam tadi..ishhh now dah teringat:(:(

Haaa ni dia tunjuk dekat sikit..i gila feta cheese kalau letak dalam fridge kat office..nanti i akan letak dalam piring gigit sikit2 macam makan asam..:):) perfect companion for salad:)

Since i love wholemeal bread everybody in the house also have to  eat wholemeal..it is much better than white bread.

Tia and Mia love butter cookies, the traditional one of course lah "Kledsens" sejak berzaman dari RM5 dulu dah jadi RM18.90 tapi Kledsens sweet banyak..i ve tried few brand including "Denmark","Danish" but " Danisa" is the best..ni franchise buat kat Indonesia..tapi to me rasnya better than Kledsens:):) Satu tin ni cepat ajer habis by the girls..i pun suka:):)

Another favourite is Arnott's Pizza Flavour biscuits..ikut abang Amir lah ni..now both pun dah suka makan:)

Like any other kids the girls love anything sweet..i found this natural,fruit based gummy candy from cold storage..tasty and healthy..ada version yang panjang2 macam worms..the girls suka ni;)

Rumah ada 2 coffee lovers (papa and uwan),2 tea lovers ( me and heni) and 2 chocolate lovers..guess who ..heee..heee..my Blackie minum air kosong ajer:):)So macam2 perasa ada.

This is my hb's favourite..masa student kat US dulu dia minum until now pun suka.

Olive oil- kalau nak menggoreng i guna Filipo Berio..it is made for frying,baking,roasting kalau virgin olive oil kita guna untuk goreng tak ada manafaat dapat and setengah research said ada effect yang tak bagus..good fat turns to bad fat..something like that.

HB asked me to use this salt..so we guna this brand..ini pun heritage dia masa student dulu jugakk lah..

I love to keep spices..so easy and convinience when you want to use it..it can last long too.

I bought 3 bottles of dried parsley from Mudgee,NSW last time..satu dah habis..second bottle pun tinggal half..sedap letak dalam pasta,omellete and mushroom soup.

Kalau kita menjaga ibu yang dah berumur kena sentiasa ada food or titbits atas meja..orang tua2 memang macam tu..kadang2 kita buat breakfast dia tak sempat tunggu..so this cake cover.stand memang sentiasa berisi..dah tu kena potong siap2 kalau tak uwan tak ambik pulak.Cake pulak tak boleh lah yang fancy..cuma plain butter,marble or banana cake ajer;)

Keep some pasta in your cabinet..boleh buat macam2..boleh goreng,soup,bolognese etc..keep lasagne sheet also for weekend special.

For quick morning..Buitoni brand is the best..very fast to prepare..the pasta will take 9 mins to boil:):) I introduced Tia and Mia not only to spaghetti or macaroni but different type pf pasta like taglaitelle, shells,spiral etc..so kalau makan kat restaurant or travel mana2 they can adjust to it..besides pasta is so much better than our mee kuning yang berubat.

This is a winner..you just need to boil in 2 mins..Angel Hair..macam spagehtti but halus..kalau makan "Spicy Seafood pasta" kat Delicious dia guna Angel Hair..huishhhh sodapnya..kalau puasa semuanya lah sedap kan:)

It is useful to keep frozen Dhory Fillet too..senang sangat nak masak ni..biar lembut..wipe it dry masuk dalam aluminium foil,tabur garam,herb,perah lemon juice,black pepper and lot of olive oil..tutup bakar dalam oven..heavennnnn:):) kalau rajin potong daun kunyit and macam2 herb lagi taruk, bila dah masak bukak masuk satu cube butter terus jadi baked fish kat Manhattan Fish Market yang tak kenyang makan tapi sedap tu:)

Nak tunjuk gadget baru kat kitchen..bought this  in Sydney..Chef at Home punya Collection..cool kan ..nak chop sayur or bawang very the senang..gelek kiri and kanan;) macam Nigella Lawson tuuuu:)

This morning masuk dapur nak buat breakfast...ni collection pinggan Churchills Englad made..tulis kat belakang tu lerr... beli kat Langkawi masa mula kahwin..i love it stilled.

So for brekky this morning..i buat beef strips toast..senang ajer..cepat di masak cepat di makan oleh orang yang tak puasa:)

Sapu Buttercup Olive spread or any type of spread..letak dalam non stick pan yang panas...flip flop until yellow and gold.

Took out the bread and put in your strips..no oil needed..the beef to dah ada fat...sama jugak flip flop until golden brown.

Put the beef strips on the toast,cover with cheddar cheese,put another slice of toast on top and put back in hot pan..

Tadaaa..delicious crunchy,tasty toast for brekky:)

You can eat with your mustard or ketchup..hb favourite's mustard is " grey poupon"..sedap sangat bagi dia:)..dia dah mula promote kat anak2 dia dah..it is a coarse grain mustard..i love the yellow bottled fine  and smooth mustard.And chicken fingers tu bukan untuk Tia and Mia..sebab Tia mia suka toast ni..untuk uwan..hee..heee..uwan suka yang crispy2..dia boleh makan banyak..dont be surpise..uwan suka nugget,french fries and yang paling dia suka mushroom soup..kalau buat pagi2 uwan sudu sampai habis satu bowl:) p.s i dah change tablecloth tu pagi2..Heni sentiasa tak ingat..tergolek-golek i mengangkat the glasstop sensorang:(

Alhamdulillah by 8.00 kita dah pun masuk dalam kereta..eat your toast Tia/Mia..selalu kena ingat kan "not only the beef and cheese but the bread too..eat the whole thing..show mama how to open a big mouthh..yesss..that's it..good... you are a big girl now"..macam tu lah conversation dalam kereta on the way to kindy and office:)

After i sent the girls to kindy i reached office at 8.39..not bad ehhh....

Haaa..sampai office..gelap gelita..sorang pun bebudak ni tak sampai lagi..dah lah i tak pernahnya ingat nak bawak kunci..tak per lah esok dah Saturday,..yeayyyyy..have a nice weekend everybody..love,love and lots of loves from mama,tia and mia:)
