Happy Australia Day

Happy Australia Day!

We spent the whole day at home sahaja, cuma keluar rumah untuk jemur kain and siram pokok.

Punyalah teruk kan, hehehehehe…

The temperature got up to 41.9°C tadi so that’s why no one wanted to go out.

Miss 12 kept on asking why can’t we go watch the fireworks in the city.

Pastu The Other Half malas nak bagi reasons why, he asked her to stay outside under the sun for a few minutes.

Terus dia tak tanya lagi dah lepas tu, hahahaha……

I tau lah yang the fireworks will be at night time so definitely dah sejuk sikit but you still have to go early masa tengah panas2 terik to the city to get a good place to watch the fireworks kan. Tak larat lah we all.

Since duk terperap aje kat rumah, The Little Misses spent a few hours going through the stationery boxes to get ready for school next week. Sekejap aje rasanya cuti Summer kali ni!

Mengumpul segala barang2 for school and ticking them off the list.

And since semua ada kat rumah hari ni and it’s Australia Day, I made an effort to cook breakfast lah tadi. Selalunya we all just breakfast toasts or cereal aje.

I made crepes with sauteed apples and cream.

Kalau Merdeka Day, I buatlah lempeng kelapa or cekodok pisang kan but since it’s Australia Day, kenalah feeling2 omputih sikit, hahahaha….

And then since its Australia Day, kenalah jugak buat the iconic OZ food kan which is pavlova.

I think last time I buat pavlova was a long time ago so memang everyone was eagerly awaiting it lah.

Setelah dibakar but sebelum kena make-up.

Orang lain make-up kan dia pakai strawberries lah, fresh blueberries lah, passionfruit lah…

But since I takde all of those fruits (the strawberries and the blueberries yg kat pokok kat kebun were still too small untuk dipetik), terpaksalah I guna apa aje yang I could find in the fridge and in the fruit bowl.

Dapatlah dragon fruit, grapes and bananas aje, hehehehe…. Still sangat2 sedap Smile.

Miss 12 kept on saying, “I really want this as my birthday cake this year. I think I only want pavlova from now on as my birthday cake.

My ‘true blue’ Aussie, hahahaha…..

But memang sedap gilers lah pavlova ni when you haven’t had it for nearly a year!

LadyBird said...

JieJ,
hahaha...I ada buat pav in between tapi maybe tak letak in the blog kot :-). I rasa kalau jarang2 makan pav ni, baru lah terasa kenikmatannya bila makan.

Adeeya,
Pav memang sedap bila jumpa setahun sekali, hehehe

Asilah,
Padahal senang aje nak buat pav ni kan, cuma I malas betul nak buat kerap2 sgt.

Kak Kasih,
Summer kat sini memang lagi panas dr Msia, tak larat nak keluar rumah.

Unknown,
Pavlova ni senang aje nak buatnya and bila nak makan nya pun, lagi lah senang sbb lembut aje bila masuk mulut, hehehe...

Mulan,
Sebab Miss 12 tu asik duduk dlm rumah aje so tu yg dia tak tau betapa panasnya kat luar, terus tak sanggup dia :-).
Kalau you nak pav for your birthday, kena buat sendiri lah ye, hikhikhik...

Ameeza,
Pav ni memang manis but bila makan dgn whipped cream yg tak manis langsung and buah2 yg kureng manis, dia jadi kurang sikit lah manis nya :-).

Oyis,
Summer in OZ is definitely hot :-)

Lia,
sempat lagi kan diaorang tayang the fireworks tu :-).

Wahidah,
Skills masak I tak best mana, cuma boleh lah I masak and kenalah dgn tekak family ni tapi dah tua2 ni baru pandai sikit masak, hahaha.

Irma,
I pun tak suka sgt pav ni sbb manis but bila dah lama tak makan, terus rasa mcm sedap gilers kan, hahaha. We all semalam habiskan pav yg guna 6 egg whites tu dlm masa 2 hari aje! Itupun sbb I yg rationed kan.

Hanin,
I pernah letak recipe with step by step instructions dulu. Cuba you cari under shortcut 'recipes'.

Farrah,
Pav ni dessert yg sedap giler kalau kita makan jarang2. Kalau every week makan, tak sedap sgt dah, hehehe.

Rdimple,
cubalah buat, actually senang aje nak buat pav ni :-)

Hani,
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi! :-).

Blu4sky,
Tak larat dengar her rengekan tu yg finally we asked her to sit outside, baru dia tau betapa panasnya, hahaha.

Shiela,
Sekarang pun dia dah lagi tinggi dari I sbb I pendek aje. Seronok aje dia bila jalan dgn I, hehehe.

Whitecappucino,
sedap hingga menjilat pinggan, hehehe

Alin,
Alah, biasalah budak2 kan, padahal every year tengok jugak fireworks sbb every year ada fireworks near our home ni. Saje je diaorang :-).
Pav ni yg paling leceh kena make sure the egg white is spotlessly clean kan.

LadyBird,
Thanks :-).

lemongrass said...

vivien,
