Makan2 with the ladies@Our House.

Salam:)

I am very tired as i cooked for 15 people today:):) he he bukanlah 50 or 100 ye tak? but masak sorang2 penat jugak..Heni helped with the cleaning though;)

So sorry i can't attend to all queries but can answer some quick ones;) Fisrt of all thank you and Alhamdulillah for all the lovely words;) Kaezrin so sweet of you nak post kat i curry Trengganu powder tu,seganlah pulak i:):) thanks so much dear:), secondly those interested to eat  Fish head noodles,you may try at Old Asia Cafe at One Utama,it is located in between the old and new wing,LG and next to Kenny Roasters. Sorry again i can't list down the name of each flowers or to advise which one  can stand the sun or not as me myself do not know every names, i only know common ones like petunia,rose,jasmine,orchid.My advice is if you want to satrt gardening the right approach is to sit down and think about the type of garden you want to start,you cant bring the list to the nursery and get them to give you.Gardening is a passion,it is just like decorating your house,so you must know whether you like english garden,tropical whether you like potted plants,blooms or greenery.Gardening is something that is very close to your heart,when you know you house and garden well you will know what to pick at the nursery.Without passion garden will die soon,it is not like buying flatscreen tv where we buy the brand that other people buy.Gardening requires some dedication,energy, apart from money.To me it worth all the effort. Anyway i will try to learn names of each flower i have in my garden oneday and share it here.

Back to the makan2, i had 8 staffs from my department came to the house today while the 7 were friends and department next to us. Pun serba salah jugak buat makan2 kecik2 ni,bila tengok gambar kat FB,everybody cakap ' tak ajak, sampai hati etc etc'.It was not an open house or a big makan pun,i cooked apa yang terlarat ajer,tu pun skip 2 menus yang dah beli bahan pun sebab dah dekat pukul 12.00 belum mandi lagi! Actually i feel honoured so many wanted to come,at the office itself ramai lah orang2 yang really nice to me yang kalau i nak include in the list kena ambik tent jawabnya:) Tak senang sangat nak kendalikan big makan as i have to settle few things,sediakan for the girls,for uwan,banyak benda nak kena attend.InshAllah bila ada masa sesuai,ada rezki,ada kekuatan dan kesihatan boleh lah panggil orang ramai sikit:):)

Yesterday i puasa, at 5.00  i drove to Jusco next door to buy groceries,my trolley was fulled with things until ada yang tanya'you alone? can you manage?" sampai kat cashier while unloading all the things cili jeruk i jatuh kat lantai,pecah,air cili jeruk bercuka,penuh satu aroma jusco selain membasahi separuh my seluar jeans,kena lah pergi toilet basuh jeans supaya tak pijar etc etc..apa pun sangat satisfied hari ni bila yang datang makan sangat puas hati dan makan dengan bersungguh-sungguh,itulah kebahagiaan memasak ni:):)

Tadaaa my kampung and western menu;);) That is sambal Oelek with ulam.Sambal oelek ni siapa yang berminat cara dia,goreng dengan minyak cili merah,bawang putih dan merah sekejap dengan sedikit belacan,dah tu tumbuk dalam lesung kasar2,tambah garam dan cuka. Lepas Subuh prepare breakfast untuk hb yang nak kerja,untuk budak2 dan uwan,dah suap budak2 semua,by 8.30 i start masak.

Mencari petai di jusco semalam tapi tak ada so i buat sambal udang bersantan tak ada petai today.

I prepared some western dishes jugak termasuk mushroom soup,garlic bread and fried chickens.tapi fried chicken ni beli frozen ajer and goreng sebab dah petang semalam carik chicken wing nak marinate untuk grill di jusco dah tak berapa ada.

I asked my husband to buy the sedap muddy choc cake kat kedai yang dia selalu lalu.

So these are the lueh raya yang saya ada.

At 12.00 everything ready termasuk dah siapkan Tia Mia,keluarkan baju dan suruh uwan ganti plus tukang masak pun dah mandi (for the second time okay)dan bersiap wangi!

12.30 tepat the girls pun sampai.

make your self feel at home ya,including taking rice from the periuk:)

I have 10 staffs at my department only two are gentlemen the rest  ladies,so hari ni yang laki2 pi sembahyang jumaat and we girls had fun;)

Rasa2 lah ya.

The sweet and cheerful Jun.

Then these rombongan Cik Kiah decided to check my kitchen at the back! Heni was frying keropok belinjau for a special request.

Ha ha ada yang check my periuk pun,bukanlah periuk mahal tapi sedap dan bagus i beli kat Kuala Pilah,ramailah pulak yang berkirimnya.Dah tu tanya macam mana periuk semua berkilat apa rahsia..apa lah rahsianya kita kan ada buk heni,..he he..tapi kalau api betul periuk pun tak jelaga,especially periuk beli kat kolo pilah itu..hidup pilah!

After makan they santai2:)

The girls.

manis2 semuanya.

Sue in blue kurung is my lunch buddy,kawan beli groceries dan bercerita hal2 balik kampung etc,this lady is very humble despite the fact she has all the VVIPs in her family list.

Uwan and tasneem.

Then time to say goodbye.

Hope you all kenyang ya.

Alhamdulillah by petang dah boleh bersantai:) okay i tahu jugak a few nama bunga ni,yang depan sekali warna merah ni nama dia bunga balung ayam,yg kuning besar tu bunga taik ayam,hujung sekali dalam pasu warna pink and dark pink tu petunia,the rest ar all perinnial yang i tak sure nama dia:) Most of them are 3 for RM10 or 2 RM6 per pot.

Yang ini semua orang tahu nama dia kan.

Actually sangatlah seronok dapat bersantai waktu petang kalau tak kerja..duduk2 borak dengan uwan,pasti kan dia minum petang,makan teratur same goes with the girls..hmmm memang bliss betul..so i envy surirumah sepenuh masa tau..you re so lucky;)

My sister sms me, i told her that i am in the garden with uwan and uwan is having mushroom soup with garlic bread,my sister replied "wahhh omputih nya omak:!" he he

Rehat lah kitcen untuk malam ni,esok lunch time ada 3 orang nak datang,yang tu hb kena layan cakap2 politik lah:):) i masak ajerlah esok.Hmm tak ingat nak buat jeruk mangga MIL bagi hari tu,too many,barang kat fridge pulak penuh so tak boleh simpan now mula nak busuk dah nampak tu Okay lah sangat penat tau nak berehat malam ni.bye bye.
