Our weekend feast

Kenapa lah terasa makin malas nak update blog?

Mungkin sebab dah lama sangat I ber blog so tu yang dah rasa macam takde thrill pulak nak update blog ni.

I’ve been blogging since 2008 and I’ve written 1751 posts.

Banyak kan! Smile.

By now, most of my posts are just repeat stories I guess.

Ye lah, balik2 cerita about the same food I cooked, the same kind of activities we did so I yang menulis ni pun rasa bored, lagi lah orang yang nak membaca kan!

Lain lah kan kalau I ni jenis yang cook different food every single day and have adventures every single day so memang lah seronok giler nak menulis kan.

But I ni jenis yang cook the same kind of food week in week out and duduk rumah aje most days and we dont have an active social life as a family, hehehehe….

Maybe I should just put up photos of our dinners instead of pot pet pot pet, then I might not feel too tired to post I guess…..

Maybe I should retire and then let the girls take over writing this blog…

Hahahahaha…..

Anyway….

It’s already the 13th day of fasting today and tomorrow the girls will start school again after cuti sekolah 2 minggu.

My life will be hectic again as a supir everyday.

But at least I dont have to worry about being the lunch lady for the next 2 weeks+.

Bole lah I start buat kuih raya while the girls are at school kan Winking smile.

So, what did I make for Iftar this weekend?

Since I didnt have to cook dinner on Saturday, I made cendol and apam gula melaka for dessert.

Acuan muruku ni I begged from my Mak.

Bila balik Msia, I love to selongkar her laci2 and almari dapur. Acuan ni I jumpa a few years ago and selepas kena pujuk, she gave it to me, hehehe.

Dapatlah I buat muruku and cendol kat perantauan ni kan Smile with tongue out.

Tapi I buat cendol ni masa bulan puasa aje.

Masa Summer yang memang panas giler, I tak teringin pulak nak makan cendol!

Tekak orang puasa memang mengada2 kan.

hahahaha….

Yang makan cendol ni cuma The Other Half, Miss 9 and I aje. Miss 14 kata dia tak suka cendol (what else is new kan).

And apam gula melaka which has been my favourite kuih sejak kecik and now The Other Half’s favourite pulak Smile.

We love our cendol cuma dengan kacang merah aje. No other tambahan.

At the same time, sempat jugak I buat cili jeruk for our stock.

And then, for iftar semalam I cooked roast duck.

Makan pulak dengan potatoes roasted in duck fat, toasted cheese bread and salad.

Sekali sekala aje we all makan duck ni.

I think this is the third time kot I masak duck and I still think that chicken tastes wayyyy better than duck!

Berblog ni memang ada psang surut, ikut angin ikut mood.

Saya biasa makan rendang itik atau gulai itik ja. Agaknya apa rasa bila makan itik macam tu ye. Biasa makan dengan nasi ja.

Salam kak LG,
Tengok duck tu jer, boleh buat saya mengidam. 1 ekor yg kecik? Itik kat sana lembut, ya kak?
Blogging ada pasang surut... tapi penerangan kak LG ttg cara memasak Western, takde sape bole calen. :D Kak LG mmg tahu apa yg perlu dibuat dgn bahan itu, bahan ini...

Tak perlu tulis hari-hari, take your time :)

Salam..

I've been a silent reader for years.. however when i read your comments about maybe wanting to stop blogging i knew i had to say something..

Please don't stop! Cause believe or not.. when you think what u r writing is repetitive or boring.. it is totally not.. some of us look forward to each day to read a new blog entry from u :) how pathetic of us! hehe

anyway i hope u will continue blogging.. if not maybe less often.. take care!

Nur Murni said...

I follow quite a no. of good, informative blogs. Anehnya, yours yg paling dekat di hati!

Its light and entertaining to me. Always feel relaxed seeing you and family, especially after a long, stressed day!

So, please dont stop writing, even if its just a monotonous, simple everyday activities! Tuulah yg istimewanya! Its just feel natural and sweet....
Never fail to make my heart smile...

sweet je tengok you buat cendol guna bekas buat muruku tu yer. kalau kat kampung, jahanam le satu periuk di cucuk cuck dengan paku semata mata nak buat acuan cendol.


tak de gula melaka ke cendo tu? hmmm.... kalau cendol buatan sendiri memang sedap....sapa tak suka cendol rugi tau...

BTW salam kenal. jumpa blog u ni kat Imotive. done follow
