A relaxing Sunday of pruning, weeding, picking the harvest from the garden and cooking for me. While The Other Half did all the dishes, the laundry, the folding (with Miss 12’s help) and the watering.
Hmmm, baru kena tinggal 10 hari, dah pandai lipat baju, hahahaha….
But since The Other Half’s just sprayed all the plants with caterpillar spray on Friday, I could only harvest the tomatoes today.
I got 4.5kgs of tomatoes tadi (and there’s still a lot more tomatoes left in the garden)!
When I showed Emak the tomatoes on Facetime, she asked me to turn them into sun-dried tomatoes sebab sayang kalau terbuang tak dimakan banyak2 macam tu.
(Yes, I baru aje tau guna Facetime ni sebab baru aje dapat phone yang boleh ber Facetime, heeeeee).
But it’s been cloudy today so kalau I jemur tadi, memang tak kan kering lah. I have to wait until the temperature gets up to more than 35⁰C for a few days baru boleh jemur the tomatoes under the hot sun until really dry. Sun-dried tomatoes are so good with a lot of things especially pasta!
And I spent some time with the roses as well. Dead heading the old wilted flowers, pulling out the grass around the plants and taking some photos of the flowers.
It is really soothing to the soul looking and caressing the pretty roses.
And my cactus has also produced some tiny flowers!
So tiny but still comel.
And since it’s Sunday and dah lama tak masak for the girls and The Other half, I cooked both lunch and dinner, hehehe.
I made nasi goreng ayam and karipap for lunch which they devoured macam dah lama tak makan nasi 
And I made sausages, mashed potato with gravy and salad for dinner tadi.
The Other Half said, “God, I really missed your cooking! It is so nice to have you cooking for me again. Everything tastes so nice.”
hahahaha……sian betul laki I tu kena jadi tukang masak terpaksa while I was away.
Bukannya masak yang canggih2 pun, just sausages witth kawan2 dia aje but it did taste great sebab I dah lama tak makan western dishes and the girls and The Other Half dah lama tak makan masakan yg I masak, hehehe.

Mulan,
kalau rumah u dekat, I bagi aje kat you hari2 so senang sikit hati I tengok the tomatoes ada orang makan, hehehe.
Sausages kat sini memang lain dr yg kat Msia tu. Yg kat Msia tu we all panggil frankfurters or saveloys kat sini :-).
Whitecappucino,
I pun terpegun tengok the cactus keluarkan bunga yg cantik padahal I bukannya jaga dia sgt, hehehe.
Ana,
happy new year to you too. I missed having western food masa kat Msia. Nak makan KFC and roti canai pun tak sempat you :-(.
All Along the way,
Salam. Dari hari tu dah boleh gelak2 but bila gelak2 mesti teringat benda sedih tu balik and terus sebak sbb rasa mcm guilty pulak bergembira....
Cikanova,
Salam. Thanks ye for reading my blog and enjoying my celoteh :-). InsyaAllah, kalau takde apa2, I will keep on writing :-)
Mieza,
Waalaikumsalam. Thanks for the doa ye :-).
Marya,

Alin,

Pendragon,
For me, therapy mata and soul jugak bila tengok garden ni :-)
Apple,
Hi :-)
Kak Kasih,
Nanti I ambik gambar the cactus ye. So far, my cactus baru kecik aje but I pernah tengok the same cactus in a bigger size :-)
Soo hae daa,

Gebera,

JieJ,
Salam. I masih lagi bersedih bila kenang my Dad but I guess life has to go on and I still kena masak utk my family so might as well buat entries pasal dinners yg I masak kan :-).
Rozita,
hehehe...Kesian your hubby. Kalau pergi Kuala Selangor, mesti akan nampak signboard ke Ijok. I rasa nama Ijok tu glemer dah skrg, hikhikhik...

Simplyatie,
Salam. Memang rasa seronok klu dpt masak utk family and tengok diaorang makan bersungguh2. Masa I kerja kat Msia pun boleh kira dgn jari berapa kali aje yg I masak utk my family, kdg2 mcm tak pernah berkesempatan. Bersyukur betul I dgn rezeki skrg.
Suzi,
Salam. thanks utk doa itu. Boleh aje kalau nak guna photos roses tu. Ada banyak lagi gambar roses yang I dah pernah letak sebelum ni kalau you nak guna :-).
