Happy Birthday Dear Hubby, Happy Birthday Dear Hubby….. :-). Another year older and quickly catching up on me ;-). As usual, when The Little Misses woke up, the card-giving ceremony took place. Since dia dah dapat the Treo, we all just gave him chocolates and cards aje lah (and not forgetting a wonderful dinner cooked by the wife!).

Tengok lah muka The Little Misses baru bangun tidur. Camner lah nak jadi models macam ni kan ;-). Kenalah letak mekap banyak2 macam ni, hehehe…

Saje je nak tayang the birthday card that I got for him, sikitnya romantik ke banding kan denagn the card that he gave me. ( Sila abaikan the clothes on the sofa in the background tu ye and the model yang serabai lagi tu).

Then when The Other Half went off to work, he took along the food I made for his morning tea. Sikit nya baik kan wife dia ni, buatkan morning tea lah, special dinner lah, hehehe.

The Jaffa cake (orange cake with choc ganache). But I alter sikit recipe orange kek ni, I kurangkan gula sebab ramai kata too sweet and I ganti kan plain flour dengan almond meal (takpekan Jun :-)). Pastu malas nak decorate lebih2 sebab kang takut pulak orang nak makan bila tengok decoration I yang still tak passed lagi tu, hehehe.

Isteri mithali kan, so mana cukup bekalkan kek aje, I pun bekal kan sekali mini ginger cheesecakes, cheese n chive muffins and baked karipap. Kenyang lah diaorang makan masa morning tea tadi :-).

Pastu for the special dinner pulaknya, The Other Half requested chicken kiev. Chicken kiev ni is chicken breast yang letak frozen flavoured butter ( I flavoured kan dengan garlic and chives aje)  inside the slit and then crumbed and pan fried. So, bila you cut it in half when you are eating it, the now melted butter will just dribble out on to the plate…. Heaven on a plate :-).

Chicken kiev with hasselback potatoes, roast garlic and steamed veges. (Ini The Other Half’s plate ok, tu yang penuh satu pinggan!).

Ini bila dah di belah dua, you can see the melted butter oozing out, hehehe…

So I said to The Other Half, “Kesimpulan nya, nasib baik lah you dapat wife yang agak pandai masak. Dapat lah you makan your favourite food on your birthday and saving your money at the same time :-).” ( Ini selepas di alih bahasa ).
