donuts...makes us nuts~

goreng this donut di satu petang..recipe cilok from the popular cooking forumer Cik Suria hence it is called donut suria.. kelakar..my donuts look like kuih keriaa on the outlook. .tapie the donuts bila makan was soft and light.  I'm a big fan of doughnuts (Big Apple & Jco) tapie kurang gemar doughnuts from Dunkin'.  Lagi satu I find it hard to keep the doughnuts perfect in shape..sewaktu menggoreng habih senget-senget hehehe..so..makan jerrlaa labuu..janji kenyang kekek.

blueberry muffin

i love to bake waktu hujan..atau redup it just perks up the gloomy day..here it is blueberry muffin original source from CMM's blog (dapur tanpa sempadan). The brown crusty top on the muffin is a result from leaving it too long in the oven but the muffin absolutely soft, moist, sweet and delicious..didn't i make ya droolin'? thank you for this wonderful recipe..the kids love it...by dinner tinggal dua bijik muffin (kesian papa..)

mushroom & seafood quiche

oozing with sauce

Inspired to make quiche after seeing it at  tiffinbiru's blog. I love quiche tapie tak tahu nak buat. Selalu kalau dpt makan either a slice or a bite-sized only heheh. Now can have a whole plate to makan. It is so tantalizing with the button mushrooms, prawns and crushed blackpeppercorn sangatt sedapp. I sprinkled a lot with pizza seasoning since I don't have any bayleaf at home. I think I'm gonna get a proper quiche pan sebab sangat susah nak fold the dough.

Chocoholics in the house!

Ohh! I love widdlytinks.com. It has loads of beautiful LO (layouts) to choose from. It makes giddy with happiness heheh. I love to digiscrap but i just don't have the time to do it anymore...family commitments comes first.

cloudy with a chance of...chocolate cupcakes!

It's been raining on and off these days..so to keep Dd & Lily occupied dari pegi jugak main kat luar waktu hujan, we baked some chocolate cupcakes today. They poured the chocolate ganache themselves & had fun playing with the fondant. The top-right was Dd's creation  he called it "the tantrum clouds" suka tantrum macam dia gak sampai myra yg kecik pun ternganga tengok diaa hairan! Lily went extra-mile buat pirate hat for her "smiling clouds" hehe. The rest we all buat plain no fondant because it was too sweet to our liking.



Japanese Cotton Soft Cheesecake

 

 

oishii! delicious! Used to buy this cake kalau teringin kat JJ. But the cheese amat kurang so the cake is very light not densed. So I gathered my guts and decided to give it a try...saya kalau baking2 nih memang phobia haha risau kalau tak jadi. I use tatura cream cheese. This cake masa bakar guna method `bainmarie' letak another dulang filled with water when you baked. This cake is so harum! yumm yumm..

Myra~rub a duck duck!

Adly cam biasalaa bila buat pudding caramel pegi tanya kenapa tak buat pudding jagung...

Blood Went Skyrocketing!

Today my blood went skyrocketing. Dd hates me when I screamed but I hate him for screaming at his sister & brother or cried merengek2 for no apparent reasons. Dahlaah bangun lambat pukul 12noon baru Dd bangun, then mandi seminit, grabbed towel, turned on the tap, shut the door then keluar terus pakai baju. Rambut pun kering jer. I asked him to go back to the bathroom and brushed his teeth. Instead any dutifully son would do..he started to get cranky & tantrum and questioned me..Mana ada satu minit? Lebih satu minit laa..and bla..bla..blaa.when he started the bla..he will mentioned stale stories of yesterday or 1 week ago masa I flashed my anger yg mana mama pun dah lupa ape bende.Dd memang kuat menjawab unlike Adly.  I just ignored him with a clenching teeth tahan geramm..spoiled mood betul. Then a few hours later..he started again..this time screamed kat Lily suruh budak tadika tu angkat pinggan yang dia dah habis makan sebab tolong tengok the youngest sister. Since when boleh makan depan TV? Then he screamed again and babbled that his sister is lazy, on and on..tambah pulak dengan baby tiba2 menangis. Masa nih..so sorry Mama dah tak boleh tahan..I came near to him nak suruh diam tapie he ran away..mahu 3x saya pusing itu meja makan sebab nak pergi dekat dia..cepatt pulak budak ni larii..the rest jadik blurr..he screamed..I screamed..gosh what happened to me ahh? ni ada yg kena enrol course 'anger management nih' astaghfirullahalaziimm! Nasib baik mama bukan jenis pukul or cubit-mencubit kalau takk memang habihh si Dd nih.

Mee Rebus!

asyik2 makan nasi..tukar pulak buat mee for dinner. Tapie dah start makan dari petang (hahaha) recipe chef wan..mee rebus ni ada campur taucu skett. Papa, Adly & Didi saja sukaa..Lily prefer meehon soup or soto.

Everybody's Fine on HBO!

Watched this movie on HBO the other day. I watched it twice and 2x keluar airmata!  Watched it not because  the stars were Drew Barry More & robert de niro.. but for the emotions that it carries..I have four kids, and sometimes (well, ok, maybe a lot of time) I can be critical, always tell them what to do. The oldest especially worries me; he got the most of my nagging, and the second one pun sama jugak he is always quiet in front of people and always drawing and playing.  Sometimes i am afraid he won't be able to be independent when he grows up. He won't appreciate what I push him to do or why did I push him to do it. This movie is really an eye-opener for me and ditambah plak lagii dengan soundtrack lagu from Paul McCartney entitled " I want to (come home) lagii laa buat saya sedeyy ! Just imagine bila sudaa tuaa..and hidup sorang..I was so moved bilaa..the dad asked his kids " Why didn't you tell me?" Why is it so easy to talk to your Mom?,"

 " You should have told me!"..and came the kids reply.."We are not sure whether you can handle it dad"! I'm Sorry! "You always seemed not happy..with us.." Wow..lagi banyak airmata saya turun..

(I Want To) Come Home by Paul McCartney

The Lyrics ( I want to) Come Home by Paul McCartney

For so long I was out in the cold,
and I taught myself to believe every story I told.
It was fun hanging onto the moon, heading into the sun,
but it's been too long. Now I wanna come home.
 Came so close to the edge of defeat.
But I made my way in the shade, keeping out of the heat.
It was fun shooting out of the stars, looking into the sun,
but it's been too long. Now I wanna come home.
 Home. Where's there's nothing but sweet surrender,
to the memories from afar.
Home. To the place where the truth lies waiting,
we remember who we are.
 For too long I was out on my own.
Every day I spent trying to prove I could make it alone.
It was fun hanging onto the moon, heading into the sun,
but it's been too long. Now I wanna come home.
Home.

For so long I was out in the cold,
but I taught myself to believe every story I told.
It was fun hanging onto the moon heading into the sun,
but it's been too long. Now I wanna come home.


Yeah, it's been too long, now I want to come home.
Been too long, now I want to come home.

Green Vege? Awesome!

The only way to get the kiddos makan green vege is by stir-frying it with garlic, oyster sauce, a pinch of salt n dash of pepper

!

rasa cam ada yg kurang kalau makan nasi tanpa sayur. The kiddos loves romaine lettuce, french bean, capsicum, cabbage, choysum and baby kailan.
