Cooking and baking before our trip

The Other Half said that everytime we go on a holiday, I always cook and bake as though macam nak pergi berbulan2 and nak bagi makan an army!

I said to him, I would rather cook and bake everything now and take it there then having to buy fish and chips or seafood pasta or vegetarian food for meals every time.

(And I also bake all the sweet titibits to be eaten in between, hehehe..).

So, we are going on a very short winter holiday esok. Tak lah as far as our Monkey Mia Winter holiday last year.

People say if it’s Winter time, you head up north where it’s always sunnier and hotter so tu yang we went up north to Monkey Mia last year but we still got to experience the worst storm Lightningwhen we were there, hahaha.

So this time we are heading down south and guess what? When we looked at the weather bureau tadi, they are predicting Storm cloud and Lightningagain this weekend, muahahahaha…

And then when we were in Msia in Dec 2009 and we took a holiday ke Melaka, it rained the whole time we were there as well sampai tak boleh keluar langsung.

I think someOne doesn’t like us taking holidays eh Winking smile Laughing out loud….

Where are we going this time?

We are going to a farm, yeayyyyyy……. hikhikhikhik…..

Why a farm? Why not?

The Little Misses will enjoy it very much helping to feed the animals, collecting the eggs for breakfast. But I don’t think milking the cows or goats will be included in the activities though, hehehe.

And there’s also a small lake there where we can hopefully try canoeing and rowing.

And if it’s pouring all the time, we have board games to keep us entertained.

Doesn’t matter what the weather is, I am sure we will have plenty of fun there Open-mouthed smile.

What have I been cooking and baking you might ask… (well kalau tak nak tau pun takpe, I still will story, hehehe..)

I’ve cooked bolognese sauce so we can have spag bol one night, I’ve cooked butter chicken and rice for another night, I’ve baked some chicken wings for one day’s lunch, I’ve baked frankfurt bread roll for another lunch. I have frozen semua ni so tahan lama and bila nak makan tinggal thaw and reheat aje Open-mouthed smile.

I’ve made karipap for lunch esok to be eaten with some of the frankfurt rolls.

I’ve baked brownies and muffins for afternoon teas bila lapar2 masa hujan tengah mencurah turun kat farm tu.

And don’t forget all the other snacks and what not yang penuh satu bag tu! hahaha…

After all the baking and cooking semalam and the whole day today, I definitely need this holiday, hikhikhik…

So, bersyukurlah anda yang tinggal kat negara yang senang dapat makanan halal yang sedap kat mana2 jua….Tak payah memenuhkan boot kereta dengan makanan sahaja!

On top of that, still kena masak dinner but I cooked something really simple,

Chicken nachos.

Dah lama jugak we all tak makan nachos ni and I dont think I’ve ever made chicken nachos before.

I added some red kidney beans to bulk it up.

So, farewell for now, I won’t be blogging for the next few days. Once we’ve come back and dah settle semua laundry and kemas2 and relax2, InsyaAllah I will cerita cerita about our farm holidays ye.

Sape2 yang rindu kat blog ni, bukak2 lah entries yang lama2 tu ye, hehehe…

I hope our holidays will be so much fun and we can go outside instead of cooped up in the room aje :-).
