I have started sewing again...on my beading of course!! Tho i'm so occupied with my sewing i still hv to be in the kitchen or else everyone in the hse.will be ' kebulur '. Sometimes it really crack my head to think of what the day's menu or what to cook?.....since there'r some left over fresh meat in the freezer i'll make ' gulai kicap daging' n 'assam pedas melaka'. If only faiz is here...it's his favourite. As for dira this is the recipe of the gulai kicap daging. She has been asking me several times for the recipe each time when she's back n i keep on forgetting. Ever since faiz is staying with her it's really a blessing in disguise cos she's learning to cook now ......
