Alhamdulillah the first day of fasting went smoothly. Even Miss 5 did quite impressively (for her yang suka sangat2 makan tu, hehehe). I tak kejutkan dia bangun sahur pagi tadi sebab wasn’t expecting her to fast pun. But bila dia bangun pagi tadi, dia kata dia nak puasa and I tanya lah dia whether dia nak sarapan before start fasting. She said she’s not hungry and she wants to start fasting straight away. So, I said to her I’ll let her buka ‘puasa’ at lunch time so her tummy won’t grumble too much. Then she was too busy playing and I pun terlupa nak suruh dia makan until 1 o’clock when she said, “Mummy, my tummy’s really hungry. I think I need to break fast now!” Kiranya lama jugak lah kan dia ‘puasa’ since dinner last nite dia tak makan :-). But when she had her lunch, she had 3 slices of pizza, 1 mug of hot milo and 2 patty cakes, all at one go! Mengketedarah terus dia, hahahaha……

Hari ni we were quite busy, pagi2 lagi The Other Half had to take the car for servicing while I sambung tidur lagi, hehehe. But after that, bangun aje terus buat kerja rumah non stop and cooking and baking (alah, biasalah kan, first day puasa so kononnya macam2 lah nak makan ;-)). I made chilli jeruk as well sebab our chilli jeruk supply dah tinggal sikit sangat2. Mat Saleh kat rumah ni suka sangat2 chilli jeruk especially on pizza and mee goreng. We used to beli aje chilli jeruk ni but chilli yg we all suka susah sangat nak jumpa kat supermarket tu so since early this year, I’ve started making my own, lagi senang and lagi kena dengan cita rasa, hehehe… I guna resipi from Jun kat myresipi.

Cukuplah untuk bekal chilli we all for a few months.

Then I made our weekly supply of bread pulak. Miss 10 masa sahur cuma lalu makan toasts aje so kenalah sentiasa ada supply of multigrain bread for sahur. Pastu, tekak2 Mat Saleh kat rumah ni nak makan donut pulaknya for buka puasa so kenalah Mummy menguli lagi (well, bread maker yg menguli, kita tinggal supervise aje, hahahaha). Then since tengah rajin, I made pau goreng inti red bean guna dough donut tu. Tapi I gelek dough to so dia leper and senang sikit nak goreng. Punyalah banyak donut yang jadi so dapatlah our next door neighbour merasa donut for their buka puasa, hehehe…

For main meal pulak nya, I made roast chicken with steamed broccoli and fries n potato nuggets. Tapi tekak I terasa sangat2 nak makan mee goreng (maybe sebab dah buat chili jeruk kan, tu yang tiba2 teringat mee goreng :-)). Or maybe sebba bulan puasa so I teringin nak makan makanan melayu aje :-). But sebab tak nak membazir, masak macam2, kenalah pendamkan hasrat makan mee goreng to another day. Biasalah kan, I yang masak but ikut tekak orang lain, hehehe….

Buka puasa Mat Saleh….
