Beautiful Things and Places.

Salamm;);) Hari ni pun saya tak sempat berborak dengan semua orang lagi:( So sorry..last night melawat SIL in yang sakit di Ampang Puteri,balik pun lewat.Pagi ni di office aduhhh macam2..It is not easy to handle people especially when they are all ladies!Kena breath in breath out banyak2..otherwise you ll be like jack in a box,jumping non stop.So i need to look at beautiful things and talk about topic i love most..a good way to distress for me;):) Writing is an escapism..you can be anywhere you like;)

Before that I would love to thank my "Invisible sisters at heart" for introducing Heather Bullard website to me..i love her website especially the awesome Chicken Coop @ Reban Ayam..jom tengok reban ayam ni semua..they are really gorgeous..rasa nak duduk sendiri:):)

All pictures are courtesy of Google except a few last ones.

 Look at this gorgeous Chicken Coop...cantiknya kan.

It can pass as a cubby house..dont feel like letting chickens to go inside there..hee..hee

This is another awesome chickencoop..so lucky Miss Turkey Lurkey inside there;):)

This is Heather Bullard House..so cantik no wonder her Chicken Coop pun cantik.

Her patio is to die for..very cosy and sweet.

Provence- one of her favourite place..mine too but  yet to have the opportunity to guling2 here..been to France but yet to explore Provence.

Love her pieces..once i have similar cups..tak tau now pergi mana.

Love her ideas too;);)

Finally..this is a another Chicken Coop to drool for..too much to handle lah..hee..heee

To those yang tanya about Hummus;) as Salmi mentioned,Hummus is made form chickpeas..i just elaborate a lil bit okay:)

Hummus and Baba Ghanoush.

Hummus is an Arabic word of 'chickpeas'..the simplest recipe i know for hummus is to boil chickpeas until soft,add a cup of canned chickpeas ( i love waitrose brand,..sedap dan lemak), add tahini (tahini is sesame seeds paste- you have to soak the sesame seeds for one night or more,let the kernel surface,separate it and grind the seed.),olive oil,garlic paste and lemon..semua blend and campur.On kandungan calory pulak from what i read if you eat the fresh one from restaurant or homemade the calory/fat is minimal,the culprit is if you buy the readymade ones.Since Hummus is from Legumes(chickpeas) it is good for diet as it can make you feel full for long.

Since kita bercakap pasal 'chick' ..ni haaa rupa 'chickpeas' kalau yang tak pernah tengok..masa kecik2 dulu panggil 'kacang putih' sangat suka makan kalau orang india jual dalam paper cone;)

This is Baba Ghanaoush)..nama macam tak boleh bayang ingredients dia kan..

Made from eggplants yang di grill dan lenyek halus..ingredient lain macam Hummus jugak:) Ishhh lapaq nasi Arab pulak dah;):)

Then ada a few tanya pasal travelling..i have answered one email on Sydney yesterday,,wish Ezlin a happy and wonderful trip to Sydney..hope she finally book at The Pacific@Balmain:):)

Somebody asked about Austria..is it a nice country to visit? I ve been to Austria,lama jugak dulu 2006 sebelum pregant with TiaMia;):) To me Austria is a very nice country,cantik,bersih dan semua orang berdisplin.Dulu we masuk Austria as a "pintu' untuk me and husband travel to Italy..masa itu kira2 nak travel Italy from Frankfurt ke..from France ke..then we made research and found that Austria is the nearest to Italy, boleh naik train from Vienna to Venice. We stayed in Vienna for 4 days 3 nights which turned out to be tak cukup:) Salzburg is too beautiful..we joined a local tour from Vienna naik bus to Salzburg...sepanjang perjalanan so cantik..nampak farmhouse yang ada balcony kayu yang berukir..padang pulak penuh dengan sef flowers yang kuning..macam dalam dream.We stopped for hot drink,pastry and soup at the highway..the cafe was like a 5 stars hotel..it was so wonderful to sit by a misty window looking at field fulled with blooms while sipping your hot chocolate.Bila bus dah dekat Salzburg we lalu saltlake,the tour guide asked us to turne our heads and look at the back the view was just awesome..the resorts at the hilly side,houses by the lake,people in their snow gear..it was like dream comes true..we hold hands and said 'one day we shall stay at one of the house by the saltlake"..heee..heeee..So pergi lah visit Austria..sangat awesome;);)

I  can't locate many pictures in Austria..most of the pictures stored dalam old pc..bila kena petir dulu banyak gambar gone;(;( tu lah sometimes still good to print our photos.

The classic and romantic Vienna-masa ni kita orang atas bus..my hb masa ni boleh tertidur..penat sangat agakya..tak boleh lah naik kereta kuda ni ha..

I memang suka mana2 park  pun pun..so The Rathaus Park ni so cantik to me.

We spent one whole day merayau keliling park and the city..dah tu makan brocolli balls at thier MC Donald..kat sini tak ada kan..sangat sedap..dia buat brocolli tu macam nugget bulat..tengah ada melted cheese...me kalau pasal makan memang boleh describe in details:)

In Vienna we stayed at the boutique hotel..macam apartment style..cosy and nice..the croissant for breakafst was one of the best yang i pernah makan.

Salzburg pulak sangat cantik..semuanya macam dreamy ..lorong2 pun sangat awesome;):)..tu lah cerita Austria saya:):)

Ni stock frozen food yang datang semalam..ada yang email tanya mana saya beli beefstrips tu..actually saya beli dari FAMA/PRIMA yang datang office..susah nak cari kat kedai..this is for export market.

Kalau nak cari kat kedai ini lah contoh chicken rolls yang saya beli semalam..500gm for RM17.50.

Punya sibuk lipstick habis sampai ke 'titisan darah terakhir'..heee..hee semalam pergi BB beli sekali dua sebab sangat susah dapat stock colour yang saya suka ni..

Ni jer satu-satunya colour yang boleh masuk bibir saya "Tulle"..sangat suka.

Banyak veges dalam fridge, hari ni breakfast buat salad bawak datang office..terlebih lah serbuk pepper..panasssss..ada yang tanya apa jenis cheese saya guna..untuk makan dengan roti atau salad ..saya beli ajer brand "Bega" atau apa2 pun yang jenis cheddar block.Senang boleh grate atau dice ikut kesukaan.

hari ni ada pasar tani lagi di office..so saya pun stock lemon banyak2:) Julie sedap lemonade kan..lontong dah habis lah..nanti buat kita tunjuk kat Julie buat drooling2 ya;);)

Bought these for tomorrow's breakfast..pada yang tanya..memang breakfast saya heavy..ada dua version..satu light satu heavy..kalau kita menjaga ibu yang telah tua,memang lah kena sediakan yang suka di makannya..kalau scramble eggs or cereal saja kesian lah dia..

Ini gambar last night..melawat my SIL at AP,uwan, saya tapaukan nasi,..sebab tak selera nak makan sebelum pergi..so Uwan pun makan kat Hospital..we doakan Mashik Tia Mia semoga cepat sembuh.Amin.
