Staying at home dinner

After 2 weekends of tak duduk rumah, hari2 keluar, The Other Half has decreed that this weekend we are not going anywhere!

Duduk rumah tengok muka each other aje…

Hikhikhikhik….

But tengah hari tadi, dah tak larat duduk rumah, Miss 8 and him went for a walk to the nearest park to feed the ducks and play in the playground.

And we are still going to Sunday school esok after missing 2 Sundays sebab bawak guests jalan2.

So, tak lah duduk rumah mana pun kan….Smile.

And since I tak pergi shopping mana2 hari ni (even though panggilan stocktake sale dah memanggil2, hahaha…), I cooked something a bit more time-consuming than sausages and chips, heeee….

But tak lah se time consuming macam buat rendang paru from scratch dengan masak lodeh untuk dimakan bersama ketupat tak segera kan.

Dah nama pun I yang masak, obviously lah tak complicated nya, hahaha…

I made beef ragu yang dimasak for a few hours dalam oven (while I bersenang lenang tengok dvd with The Other Half), macaroni cheese and crumbed bocconcini salad.

I used the small bocconcini balls and then dip them first in flour that’s seasoned with salt and pepper, then egg, then white breadcrumb. Chill them in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes.

Then deep fry them in hot oil until cooked.

I like them a lot but The Other Half said he preferred them au naturel (without the crumbs).

The beef ragu pulak I ikut style recipe ini but I tokok tambah with my own ingredients lah since ada a few yang tak boleh guna. And I guna beef instead of lamb.

Mac n cheese ni I buat sebab The Other Half kata dia tak nak plain pasta, he felt like mac n cheese for dinner.

And since memang I nak buat pasta to eat with the ragu, I just tukar to mac n cheese lah. Still pasta jugak kan (albeit very rich and creamy and menggemukkan!) Open-mouthed smile.

Told you tak lah susah macam nak buat rendang paru dengan masak lodeh and ketupat daun kelapa tu kan, hahahah….

CiM,
wahhh...bestnya keluar jalan2 cari makan :-).

The sexy co,
I pulak believe since dah ada all the equipments, might as well utilise them fully baru lah berbaloi membeli kan :-D.

Mulan,
I pun suka sgt2 makan but malas nak masak complicated stuff esp klu I sorang aje yg akan makan. Itu yg I suka betul kalau ada gathering2 ni sbb I boleh melantak mcm2 without having to cook mcm2 benda, hehehe.

Gina,
I dah reply kat post sebelum ni :-).

ddfirdaus,
Hi. Thanks for reading my blog. Luckily lah my hubby jenis yg makan most things so memang senang lah sikit nak masak for all the anak tekak :-).
