Roses everywhere but not mine

Pagi tadi I pergi ke rumah Ustazah yang ajar we all ngaji kat masjid. First time I pergi rumah dia ni padahal 2 minit aje drive from my house, hehehe.

Sampai aje rumah dia, terpegun I tengok all the rose bushes at her house! So many blooming roses and so many rose bushes. Kalau Mak and Abah I tengok, mau agaknya diaorang suruh I mintak anak benih and suruh tanam kat rumah I ni, muahahaha….

I could see all the colours of a 24-crayon box in the rose bushes. Bukan setakat 7 colours of the rainbow aje you, hahahaha. Well, maybe not green or black or brown lah Winking smile.

And I dengan muka tak malunya pergi mintak some flowers to take home, heeee…..

But I only took 8 kuntum aje pun, memang tak luak langsung lah and I took the ones that I think have interesting colours.

I know, I know, I cannot be a florist. Dulu masa ambik subjek gubahan bunga kat KEMAS, I dapat F, muahahaha Winking smile.

The colours that I took were very pale purple, bright yellow, bright orange, pink, peach and dual pink-white.

The really pale purple rose. The Other Half kata this rose smells like turkish delight, hahaha.

The gorgeous pink rose.

Next time I pergi rumah dia, I’ll ask her if I can take photos of the rose bushes ye.

Dah puas layan gambar the roses, layan gambar dinner we all pulak ye.

I made garlic naan tonite to eat with butter chicken and spiced potato. Tapi tekak I terasa nak makan indian rice but malas nak buat. Nasib baik ada pre-cooked instant vegetable basmathi rice kat dalam pantry tu. I tinggal microwave it for 2 minutes and siap di’masak’ Smile.

The butter chicken I guna recipe from here but I tak marinate the chicken overnight sebab takde masa. I cuma marinated it for 30 minutes aje, hehehe.

And the garlic naan I used this recipe but I replaced the butter with oil and I only used 2 tablespoons of oil. And I baked the naan in 180°C oven instead of grilling it.

Irma,
Memang penuh front garden dia dengan roses. Kiranya kalau banding dgn my roses, jauh panggang dr api lah, hehehe.

Iera,
I ni cuma rajin masak benda yg gerenti akan dimakan dek the people in this house. Kalau lauk pauk complicated tu, lambat lah sikit I nak try :-)

Zeta,
Tak silap I, memang ada roses kaler biru ni but so far I tak pernah tengok lagi kat sini.

Anie,
Rose oren tu memang cantik. Kalau tengok the rose bush, lagilah rasa nak hangkut bawak balik semua, hahaha. Adalah yg kena sekeh dgn Ustazah tu nanti sbb ambik pasu rose dia :-D.

Sue,
Me too. I've never seen a pale purple rose before, tu yg I bawak balik :-).

Maya,
Especially kalau ada orang bagi kita a big bouquet of pink roses kan, lagila bertambah cantiknya!hehehe.

Annisa,

A'kum K.LS,

Dah lama tak komen kat blog akak. DOk jadi silent reader as usual :)

Anyway, tgk naan akak buat tu teringat lak kat satu resepi yg saya try haritu. Senang nk buat and rasa pon sedap. Maybe akak bleh try and see what you think about them.

here's the recipe:
400g tpg(kalau boleh 1/2 tpg cake 1/2 tpg roti, but if xde apape tgp pon ok)
1 tsp garam
120ml air suam
120ml yogurt
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp instant yeast
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp sugar

just mix everything mcm buat roti biasa, let it rise for 30mins.what did is just telangkupkan bowl and let the dough fall on the workspace. punch down the dough,and tros divide into 8 mcm potong kek.
take one piece and flatten out. (mmt bentuk dia jd mcm naan)
heat the pan and just bakar kering atas pan tu.kalau nak letak garlic pon boleh jugak.

dia akan jadi gebu and lembut sbb ada extra leavening from the baking powder tu.

try la ek akak. it's my favorite recipe. I hope the whole family will enjoy them too.
