The names of the flowers, the produce from the garden and the choc in a box

Akhirnya the last day of school went smoothly even though pagi tadi I was a bit kelam kabut nak make sure everything was wrapped nicely.

(dari pukul 5 pagi I dah kat dapur but tak tau lah I buat apa with the time, we got out a bit late for school today.)

Mana tak late nya, masa tu lah I baru terhegeh2 nak siapkan 2 boxes of treats for Miss 12’s teachers sebab dia kata dia nak bagi some gifts for 4 of her teachers. 2 teachers I dah belikan Maltesers gift boxes so 2 lagi tu yg Ikena buat boxes for them.

And then I thought of baking some muffins pagi tadi for the sweet treats hamper for the staff room so tu yang buat lagi lambat. Pastu, pagi tadi jugak I baru nak basuh all the dishes so lagi lah lambat, hahaha…

And then Miss 8 kata dia nak bagi some gifts for her sports teacher, the retiring librarian and her music/ choir teacher so lagilah I kelam kabut pack up a few things for them. Nasib baik all the goodies ada banyak extra so senang lah sikit.

The choc boxes for Miss 12’s teachers. Miss 12 was so happy when she saw these cute boxes for her teachers and she said her teachers loved them as well.

(I know my chocs tak secantik the shop bought ones and tak secantik the pros, hehehe.)

Chocolates are so cheap here especially nak dekat2 Christmas ni and I know it is way easier to just buy the chocolates like Lindt gift boxes, Ferrero Roche and all the other types but I love making these things for them.

Ooh, before I forget, I nak tunjuk kat you all our new hasil in the kebun…

The okra/bendi. Yang tak bestnya about okra ni, cuma sebiji okra aje yg boleh dipetik on each plant at a time because they mature at different times. We all cuma tanam 4 okra plants aje so macam mana lah nak kenyang kan, hikhikhik…

And I masak the bendi tonite for dinner. Terpaksa campur dengan beans to bulk it up, or else memang tak cukup lah nak makan, hehehe.

I masak okra n beans  with coconut stir fry, ikan mullet goreng, daging masak kurma and acar mentah. Korma tu nampak hitam sebab I masak dlm oven so kaer dia jadi lain pulaknya .

The Other Half tak minat kurma sbb dia kata rasa kurma ni ‘bland’ tak menyengat macam vindaloo or rogan josh. I said to him takpelah sekali sekala masak ikut The Little Misses taste yang tak makan pedas.

Miss 12 and Miss 8 makan dengan begitu berselera sekali sebab makan something yang tak pedas yang bukan masak kicap! hikhikhik….

Our eggplants. Kejap lagi, boleh lah we all harvest the fruits kan.

We call these banana chillis/ banana peppers here. And chili ni kan yang orang buat solok lada tu? kalau makan yong tau foo ada solok lada ni, sedap weh .

And before I terlupa lagi, these are the names of the flowers in this jom main teka teki post.

Unfortunately, takde sorang pun yang dapat teka dengan tepat but ada a few yg dpt teka sipi2 aje .

1. Bendi (most people got this right)

2. Terung/ eggplant (again, most people got this right too).

3. Thai basil (ditto).

4. Strawberry (mentang2 lah semua pernah pergi Cameron Highland kan so bunga strawberry ni sangat lah dikenali ramai, hahaha.)

5. Cucumber/timun (senang sangat yang ini ).

6. Celery (no one guessed this. Yang sipi2 guessed parsley.)

7. Apple (No one guessed this either. Kat dalam kebun I ada pokok apple hybrid and one of the hybrids tengah berbuah and berbunga sekarang which I think is the granny smith variety kot.)

8. Green basil.

9. Blueberry

So sorry ye sebab takde sape yg dapat meneka dengan tepat. Takpe, next time kalau I buat teka teki lagi, boleh cuba lagi
