Kids!

The conversation aka membebel I had with the girls earlier…

Me: Girls! who’s been using so many blue cups to drink today?

Miss 13: I’ve only been using the green cup today.

Miss 9: I’ve only been using 1 blue cup today.

Me: How come there’s 3 blue cups here?

The Other Half: not me!

Miss 9: Not me either!

Me: (in a sarcastic tone) It’s probably the invisible kid we have hanging aroudn the house that’s been using all these cups eh Dear!

Boleh pulak lepas tu Miss 9 menjawab: Probably you are right!

The Other Half dengan I tak tau whether nak gelak or nak geleng kepala that she thinks its normal to have an invisible kid in the house Surprised smile.

Or maybe she didn’t hear me correctly and just wanted to agree with me so I tak membebel lagi….

Or maybe I shouldn’t do sarcasm with kids because they will not understand?

hehehehehe…..

Nasib baik lah when school starts in 2 days time, this invisible kid will also go to school sebab takde pulak cawan bersepah2 kat rumah during school time!

Heeeee……

The other day I bough some mutton at the butcher.

Kalau dulu masa I baru belajar English, mutton means meat from goat.

And bila orang sebut mutton aje, terus tak larat nak makan because of the smell.

bau kambing mah…..takda mandi punya…. hehehe

But here in OZ (or I guess any English speaking country), mutton means meat that comes from sheep that are more than 2 years old.

Lamb pulak is the meat that comes from ‘baby’ sheep or sheep that is less than a year old.

And hogget pulak is the meat that comes from sheep older than 1 year old but less than 2 years old.

So very confusing kan! hehehehe

Anywayyyy….The Other half kata he loves mutton but I think baru sekali dua aje kot I beli mutton ni sepanjang2 we all kahwin yang dah nak dekat2 2 abad ni.. memang bukan isteri mithali sungguh, hahaha.

Sebab kan the mutton meat is slightly tougher than lamb and more ‘berperisa’ than lamb, I pun guna the meat to masak mutton vindaloo secara slow cook in the oven.

I guna vindaloo paste ready made so tinggal diced up the mutton and seared the meat until brown.

Tuang the vindaloo paste onto the meat and cover the pot and terus masuk oven at 140C.

Masak lah sehingga dia betul2 lembut. I masak for about 3+ hours.

So easy peasy one!

Makan dengan nasi briyani sangat sempoi, ayam goreng berempah, sayur goreng and poppadom.

Sedap gilers bila dibuat kari!

akak suke kamben (apa nama dia tak kesah asal kamben...hihi)

takut wehhh...kalau ada invisible kid ...hahahahah
biasa le...semua x nak ngaku...kat rumah ni pun mcm ni jugak.

Unknown said...

Kambing di sini persis semua Pak Sheikh.. memang tak ada bau.
Hatta, Sham yg bukan spisis mkn kambing ni pun bila cecah kaki ke sini.. sure akan carik riyash (ribs kambing bakar). Even my Arif yg baru 4 thn at anytime blh abis 4-5 ketul ribs in no time.
But the moment layan kambing kat Tanah Malaya, sure sakit kepala..
Any idea why??

blu4sky said...

hahaha kelakar betul miss 9..sib bk u x ckp cups tu ada kaki pandai berjln sendiri..hihihi
i cuma start mkn kambing i think last yr kot or was it end of 2010..tu pun sbb my hubs bikin bbq lamb.. if not dulu xdenyer ah baik lamb or mutton dpt berkampung dlm freezer i..

Ummu Madihah said...

Salam LG. x tau pula istilah kambing antara lamb ngan mutton tu. learn something new today. kat rmh ni Mak Aji ada 5 boys (abahnya included) and 2 girls, masa mrk budak2 dulu singki x pernah kering, x pernah kosong! almaklum sangat.

imm said...

Unaizah said...

Engineers Love Cooking said...

Unknown said...

norhidana said...

heheheh invisible kids pun ada ek... pelik tul kan kene pasang cctv nih..

aah la kak, confius banyak beno istilah nyer, kalu kt sini daging kambing sama je, kot hehehe... maklum jarng beli

susumanis said...

hahaha, sama la kat rumah ni, semua x nak mengaku pakai glass n letak je kat sink..geram tapi rindu pulak kalau dia org x de, mcm tu la mak kita rindu kita kan..:))

Zaitun said...

Orang kata pesakit darah tinggi tak boleh makan kambing tapi kak Zai tak pernah berpantang.Memang suka tahap gaban hehehe... berbanding daging lain dan ayam.

abdullah gazali said...

gila sedap. mcm raya haji pulak :)

Nina @ BabyBoon said...

dang, i need to learn more english then sebab i didnt know that hoggets meant that. i ingatkan it meant benda lain. what i thought it meant u dont wanna know!

lemongrass said...

Wan G,
nasi briyani I yg paling sempoi and tak guna bnyk steps, tu yg boleh dimasak dek I, hehehe

Mulan,
so far kan, my kids tak pernah lagi nampak invisible beings ni which makes me so happy and tak takut, hahaha.
Jom lah, sew bot mai sini, boleh I masak kari kambing sekor dua, heeee

maryam,
salam. apa khabar? Kalau I buat nasi briyani versi sempoi utk raya haji, mau kot kena gelak dgn orang kan, hehehe.
Pipi adik gebu nampak less gebu dgn rambut lurus tu kan :-)

Kak Kasih,
we all pun suka lamb/mutton/goat tp I jarang sgt2 masak anak beranak kambeng ni sbb entah lah, malas kot, hehehe.

Shamsiah,
kambing biri2 memang tak bau banding dgn kambing goat tu kan. And kalau dpt lamb, lagi lah takde bau kan :-).
kambing malaya makan makanan kambing yg lain dr kambing pak arab agaknya, tu kot sbb you sakit kepala?

blu4sky,
I start makan kambing bila datang sini sbb masa tu kambing mmng sgt murah, hehehe. Skrg kambing dah mahal sikit, maybe sbb dah mandi kot ;-P. But I still lagi suka ayam dr kambing ni :-)

Ummu Madihah,
Salam. We learn something new everyday kan :-). Budak2 memang semua mcm tu kan, kalau pakai cups and glasses, asik nak bertukar aje.

Imm,
Salam. Hahaha....kat rumah you lagi ramai makhluk invisible ni ye sbb segala cawan and gelas dia pakai, hehehe.

Unaizah,
tu lah kan. I yg nak beli daging kambing ni pun confused sekejap, hehehe. My kids tak tengok cerita hantu so diaorang takde rasa takut dgn hantu, hehehe.

Kasihilmar,
Salam. I ni tak lah pandai masak mana, cukup utk bagi my family makan a variety of food yg simple2 aje :-)

Huda,
Miss 9 tu memang mcm tu :-)

Unknown,
And it;s not just kambing, mind you, it's specifically for sheep. I don't know if goats have the same names for their meat :-).

Lurpak,
Cubalah try test this method. Lepas ni kan, takde lah kamu nak dok berdiri dpn stove masak kari lagi, hehehe

Engineers love cooking,
Salam. hahaha...luckily you noticed :-). Jauh beza dua dekad and dua abad tu kan :-). I dah kehabisan basmathi rice tu yg guna long grain rice aje buat briyani tu.

Strawberi,
Kita tukang kutip and tukang basuh kan but yg tukang guna semua tak mengaku guna, pelik kan, hehehe

Rdimple,
my kids bukan makin takut, makin nak berkenalan adalah agaknya sbb diaorang tak ingat hantu. They think it's fairy :-).

Mixed family in the house,
Memang banyak terms dia kan tu yg bila pergi butchers kat sini, kdg2 a bit confused :-).

Rai,
yang paling menarik about the vindaloo is that I guna ready made paste aje so memang sgt2 senang nak buat, hehehe

Dana,
kalau pasang cctv, baru lah kot sorang2 mengaku kan :-D.
Kat sini slalunya yg dijual lamb aje sbb orang slalu suka beli lamb. tapi kdg2 ada lah jugak jual daging2 mutton and hoggets tu :-).

Susumanis,
Rindu kat orang nya tp tak rindu kat cawan2 yg banyak berkumpul diaorang guna tu, hehehe

Kak Zai,
kalau lepas makan takde effect apa2 dgn tekanan darah Kak Zai, ok lah tu kan. Tapi makan red meat slalu sgt ni pun tak elok sebenarnya kan tp sedap, hehehe

Abdullah,
Raya haji kejap lagi kan so kenalah practice dulu, hehehe

babyBooned,
hahaha...the other thing is hogs not hoggets :-D. Extra few letters make a big difference, heeee
