Eclipse and turkey

Masa I tengah tulis this entry, the lunar eclipse have just started here.

Miss 8 beria2 nak tengok so we are letting her sleep a bit later than her usual bed time so dapat lah dia tengok a bit of the eclipse.

(cukuplah tu kan. Kalau nak tunggu sampai the full eclipse, I pun dah  lama berdengkur masa tu, hehehe).

Malam ni I pun nak tidur cepat sebab esok nak bangun pagi nak bake something to take to the last Sunday school session for this year. Lepas tu, semua akan bercuti for 7 weeks sempena Summer school holidays kan.

The whole today dah busy buat other things so tu yang tak sempat nak bake anything.

Pagi2 lagi dah pergi menjelajah Bunnings. We bought some more seedlings and seeds and seed-raising mix and another pot of chilli. This time it’s a habanero chilli plant.

(I tengah giler tanam chili sekarang ni! Penuh dah  kat belakang rumah tu dengan chillis plants, hahaha.)

I bought a greenhouse for The Other Half the other day sebab dia beria2 nak start raise seedlings in it. So, tu yg dia beria beli seeds tadi.

I pulak dah tak larat nak tanam from seeds sebab rasa mcm lambat sangat nak bercambah. I lagi suka beli seedlings and then terus tanam kat vege patch and then a few weeks later, dah boleh tuai hasil kan .

Esok, I’ll take some more photos of our crowded vege patch and vege beds ye. I have no idea dah nak letak kat mana the seedlings yang The Other Half semai tadi yang bakal bercambah in a a few weeks nanti.

Memang dah takde tempat langsung unless we build another vege bed lah.

Kalau ikut The Other Half, dia nak aje get rid of the front lawn and ganti dengan pretty raised vege beds.

I told him, kalau nak buat vege beds kat luar tu, alamatnya kena lah pasang fence sebab surenya akan ada makhluk2 yang teruja nak mencuri all the sayur and fruits kan, hehehe.

Actually, I sibuk tuai the cherry tomatoes tengah hari tadi and I made oven dried tomatoes and also tomato relish from it.

This is the tomato relish I made. I used this recipe but I only guna about 2 tablespoons of brown sugar instead of 100g. Sedaplah jugak for my taste yang tak berapa suka makan chutney nor relish ni, hehehe.

We had turkey for dinner tonight sebab sekarang turkey tgh murah sebab nak dekat2 Christmas kan.

I used Steggles turkey thigh (the blue coloured Steggles brand not the red one sbb the blue one is produced by Baiada) yang dah siap rolled and deboned in a box. They sell it in 1 kg box kat Coles/Woolies/IGA in the freezer section. It costs $10/kg box at Coles which is really murah lah sebab daging semata.

Everyone loved the turkey, memang more moist compared to turkey breast lah.

I forgot to put cranberry sauce on my turkey, hehehe.

The Other Half kata bolehlah dia masak ni for Christmas lunch nanti sebab tinggal masuk oven, let it cook and then slice it nicely. Anyone can do it! hehehehe…..
