Iftar food on the first day

Alhamdulillah, the first day of Ramadhan went by without any glitch.

It was made easier by the fact that we didn’t go out anywhere, just vegetating at home not doing any physical labour.

The girls spent most of the day in their bedrooms, reading, playing and watching dvds.

I guess that’s why no one felt thirsty nor that hungry.

Once school starts this Tuesday, sure melepek aje budak2 tu after school.

I normally will send letters to their teachers explaining about the fasting month so the girls can be excused from having to do sports and morning fitness (which they don’t mind missing at all, hehehe).

Our Sahur food as usual cuma medjool kurma, hot milo for the girls and hot coffee for us, water and multigrain toasts or weetbix.

The Other Half will usually have his toasts with butter and honey, Miss 13 will have hers with nutella and Miss 8 pulak depending on what she felt like that morning.

I will have my toast with whatever that’s on the table.

So far, throughout the years, we’ve never had hot meals at Sahur time because no one could stomach big heavy meals at that time of the morning.

So, senang lah kerja I di pagi2 hari kan, no need to pening2 fikir what to cook, hehehe.

Semalam, I still tak pening lagi nak fikir what to make as our Iftar kuih sebab baru aje the first day kan Smile.

I made keria balls or keria orang malas or sweet potato balls.

I made kecik2 aje so you can pop the whole thing in your mouth.

We had the keria with kurma and fresh fruits.

And then for dinner, I made bread to be eaten with pasta and seafood ‘stew’.

Just before baking, I brushed the top of the loaf with water and then sprinkled plain flour on it. Nampak lah gaya rustic sikit kan Winking smile.

Freshly baked bread is always well received in this house, hehehe.

It’s basically creamy seafood pasta sauce but less tomato paste, tu yg nampak pale aje.

Tonite, they have asked for creamy garlic mashed potato with gravy and sausages.

Kuih still under consideration, hehehe…..

Mulan,
memang pening mak2 nak fikir masak apa sebulan ni. But padahalnya kan, hari2 biasa pun pening cuma tak payah pening2 fikir pasal nak buat kuih ye tak :-)

zd,
wah...bestnya makan kat luar hari pertama. Tapi, nak buat mcm mana kan, dari termuntah2 kat dapur tu, baik lah makan kat luar ye tak :-)

Dinas,
anak2 I sgt lah gembiranya sbb tak payah buat sports, memang pemalas sungguh! :-D

kak Yan,
tu lah kan, snng saya tak payah fikir nak masak 2-3 jenis lauk hari2, hehehe

Tinie,
budak2 kat rumah ni suka sgt2 kuih keria ni. Kalau nak jimat, memang kena buat sendiri sbb sorang makan 10 ketul! :-)

Aida,
keria bulat ni yg paling senang sbb tak payah susah payah menerap atau membentuk dia dgn lubang kat tengah2 tu. I kan malas sikti, hahaha

Engineers Love cooking,
Salam. We all berbuka mmng dgn kuih and fruits aje but lepas maghrib sebelum isya' dah makan dinner.

Love,
thanks for the wish. My kids memang sometimes love to skip their sports lessons, hehehe
