I wasn't well hence I bought out my waffle maker and used the hotcake premixed to make some waffles. I sandwiched them with ham and cheese and served it as breakfast.
Minimum preparation and washing. Good for the sick and tired homecook.
This is one of those 'clear the fridge' breakfast.
Meat patty is pan grilled half done before wrapping it with bacon before returning to the grill to continue cooking till the bacon is brown and meat patty is cooked. It is sandwiched between a slice of cheese and sauteed button mushroom.
I had my whole place smell of the pungent belacan yesterday.
My homemade belacan granules/powder supply was running low so I toasted 2 blocks of belacan to restock. Usually I will burn a candle next to my pan while toasting it. I ran out of candles and I thought by having 2 fans blowing the smell out of the window, the smell won't spread to the rest of the rooms. I thought wrong. :P
I wouldn't mind the smell, in fact I love it but my husband hates it. Although I did clear most of the smell but for someone who hates it, it's not difficult to notice it the moment he step into the house.
Made one of our all time favourites for dinner last night.
You can hop over here for the recipe. I made a video a few years back on how to wrap the chicken using pandan leaves without the use of toothpicks. Should have turned the camera the other way round. Oh well ...
The weather has been a truant lately. Every time I cook, I feel like I'm going to die from both the heat from the terrible weather as well as from cooking.
I have been either cooking really simple quick one pot dinner or eating out. Even if when I cook I don't have to strength or mood to take any food pics after that. Not even from the mobile phone. (These 2 pics here were taking using my mobile phone ;P) I just want to quickly clean, wash up and get out of the kitchen to have a shower.
Yesterday, I thought, frying some chicken and mushroom (on top of cooking ramen) wouldn't be that bad but I was so wrong. I think the cooking almost killed me. I ended up eating only a small portion of fried chicken and mushroom, the okra and LOTS of salad! I didn't have ramen cos it's just too hot to enjoy it.
Well, the kids enjoyed it. My daughter actually had 2 servings of ramen. My sweet daughter helped washed all the dishes after that while I head for the showers and she actually vacuumed the house while I was making dinner. Don't even ask about my son. :/ Humph!
Anyways, here's what's on our dining table last night (that almost killed me :P),
Making breakfast is getting boring.
One always want egg and no bacon. The other always want bacon but no egg. Always on loggerheads. :P
Today's breakfast, as usual, one had sandwich with everything except egg and the other had everything except bacon. =_=|| The little one had her favourite Cream of Asparagus. The elder one skipped that.
Me and the Math Tutor had everything. Making breakfast also so difficult. :P
