Sorry, I burnt your butt!

Salam!

What a fast weekend:) It's already Monday ya, hope everybody had a good weekend. I had a challenging time at work last week. Whatever it is i cannot complaint much as when i look through it no matter how hard someone is trying to make you unhappy but with patience and trust you give to Allah Swt happiness is waiting for you at every corner of your life:):)

But i still have a small bad news- my excitement over the recovered photos from my trip to Paris was short, now my evil Mac Book  has decided to be cruel to me again- my Iphotos is now damaged;(;( tak tahu nasib semua gambar2, have to send back to the clinic. Teruk kan, now; i am seriously looking at Dell, may be i ll get "Pack Light,Play Long- New Inspiron 14R" .

Anyway i banyak jugak gambar2 from my Iphone which i want to share here;) Thank You to all readers/commentors;):)


Nachos with tomatoes and sour cream with onion during one of our Tea@Home on CNY.


Sedap if you like it:) Boleh buatkan filling yang lain2 if rajin;)


During the long Holiday the girls asked me to make puff pastry pie,they woke up early in the morning to help me;)


Mince Meat Puff Pastry Pie and homemade mashed potato.
 

Last week  Mia demam tiba2, i was worried jugak,sebab so sudden, malam jer temperature naik.Baik sikit i sent them to school but demam balik and panas naik tinggi.Husband outstation i brought the two to hospital straight from school, macam tu lah Tia kalau Mia demam dia risau nak kena inject ke apa.Mia pulak kena masuk ubat bontot melolong lah tak nak.



The next day  i asked both to rest at home and when i came back,they made this for me;) Cantik kan, they made all by themselves using kitty bell,old beads, lego parts etc.They said they asked Heni to help them to tie the end after they finished putting beads etc into the string.


My husband yang oustation ke Cameron rasa guilty i had to handle budak demam etc while he's away, so he bought me a single rose from CH, sweet kan.


And red strawberries.


The girls yang memang suka buat surprise made a special gift for their papa.Papa yang baru sampai at 10.00pm dari Cameron pun hilang penat.Rupanya dia orang duduk check almari barang2 i, i keep all kotak2 hadiah etc yang i dapat sebab cantik2 lagi and boleh recycle.
 

Mia baik demam i bought small cake for her. I bought the cake from Bisou,the Valentine's Day Cake from the previous day.


Happy lah budak baru baik demam ni.Alhamdulillah dah baik.
 

Thank You Papa, i appreciate it  very much:)
 

The baru baik demam girl asked for roast chicken, so i made her one.
 
 I cooked gulai labu for Uwan.


The labu turned out to be very nice, super soft and sweet and meletop with sambal ikan bilis bubuh asam limau. After putting my roast chicken into the oven, i went up to take bath, sembahyang Maghrib etc..turun bawah after that.....
 

Alamak bontot dah terbakar..he he.. sorry..i burnt your butt:):)..tapi walaupun sedikit legam tapi part tu lah paling sedap..crispy and nyummy:);)
 

Evening we made some butter cuppies using the basic Butter cake Recipe which i had posted here before,cuma i tambah maple syrup kurangkan gula this time..so bau wangi lagi.
 

I spread some fast chocholate topping from Betty Crocker and let the girls decorate to their liking.
 

The rest i keep without chocolate topping for Uwan..she likes to eat for tea and she really likes this one,she ate 4 immediately after i took out from the Oven:)
 

There, the sweet counter for the sweeties;)
 

After penat buat cuppies etc i made fast and simple crab soup for dinner,semua pun suka.Thanks Hanim Manaf- memang sedap soup tanpa tumis ni,lebih manis actually:)
 

Penat memasak itu dan ini..duduk2 di halaman dan mendengar Uwan berceloteh pun sangat menghiburkan..happiness is always there when you know where to find it...priceless;) Uwan cakap nama bunag ni 'janda kaya".
 

Sunday is ngaji time..this week very good,Mia ingat semua because we did our revision..sampai menangis-nangis masa buat cuppies tu..while i baked i asked them to sit down and read..bila dah banyak kali mula lah suara serak..but so berbaloi kan..the next day Ustazah datang..boleh baca dengan lancar dan confident;);)

Uwan pun happy minggu ni..orang kampung i,e Maklang Esah datang melawat with his son..sukalah dia.
 

" Apo macam kampung kito Esah, acu kau mano dio duduk sekarang? Ayik lamo bonar  acik tak jumpo..idup ko lae? kobun gotah kau sapo motong skarang?" haaaa macam2 lah uwan tanyo;) I fried kuey teow goreng basah for them;):)

  Yang bertanya cara nak masak lemak cilipadi..macam sebelum ni..recipe dia sama saja, daging ,ayam ,ikan ,telur ..basic dia sama saja,tumbuk kunyit hidup,cilipadi ikut rasa dan garam sampai halus..cuma cara masak berbeza, kalau ayam, bahan tumbuk tadi tambah serai,same goes to daging and gaul bahan2 tanpa santan dulu dalam periuk atas api,masak and dah kering air dan keluar bau wangi baru masukkan santan..tambah garam dan asam keping masak ikut pekat kita suka.Kalau ikan pulak tak payah boleh masuk santan bahan tumbuk sama2, then tambah lah terung ke tomato yang suka,dah lembut baru masukkan asam.Kalau udang pulak myself biarkan santan yang dah di campur bahan tumbuk mendidih dulu,dah tu masuk udang sekejap jangan lama and angkat sebab kalau lama udang tak manis. Gulai ikan masin pun sama cuma ikan masin kena carefull,kacau santan sebab dia banyak garam dan santan boleh jadi pecah,nak elakkan boleh buat macam cara gulai ayam dulu dah kering air garam dia baru masuk santan. So selamat mencuba.

Disney Paris-Day 1

Salam;)

Continue from previous entry- No matter how old you are and may it be your first or fifth it is always exciting to be in Disneyland;) I think some readers yang dah pernah pergi pun share the same view kan:) I ve been to Disney Paris in 2000 but going there with my own kids and husband was totally a different experience:) We had so much fun especially among europeans yang semuanya sporting,yang nenek,datuk semua siap pakai telinga Mickey and Minnie and danced with their little ones.

Since we arrived early we boleh start awal, to those staying at any of the Disney hotels the gate is open for you as early as 7.30 am while normal visiting hours is starts at 10.00 am. So it is advisable to reach Paris early morning if you want to go Disney,you boleh masuk pagi2 buta masa tak ramai orang,boleh menjerit,memanjat sana sini, by the time they open the gate to everybody you pun nampak lah lautan manusia membanjiri..semua datang with cita2 masa kanak2-kegembiraan di wajah tak dapat di sembunyikan:)

Okay girls let see what you had been up to in Disney last year;)


We continue jalan2 lagi:) kat area depan disneyland.
