tired, food pics and b'day gal :)

well, i have been very busy these past days..busy apa tau..busy watching this japanese cartoon, bleach on youtube..hehe. habis computer ni i conquer..wahahahaha ..and then my arm buat hal..makin sakit pulak lah. and then tekak pulak dunno what to eat..main masak ajer and main makan jer..macam bayar niat pulak gitu. we went to kansas city last weekend and then sean pulak bawak i gi shopping..hehehe. but biasalah with the girls, it is more tiring then enjoyable. sebok i belek2 this baju...diorang pun sibuk belek2 baju telling me that this is nice and that is nice.

i made this kway teow soup for lunch just now. best hirop2 sop time hujan this afternoon. sarah tak minat the noodles, so she just drank the soup sampai tersedak sehh..sebab apa tau..i taruk cili padi many2. :)

ni pulak, apa balik :) alhamdullilah menjadi jugak lah kira..i found another recipe which is a lot simpler to follow. yang makan saper tau..only me...the girls of course tak suka anything with peanuts unless it is snickers bars. sean pulak i kasi try half..he said that this is not his kind of dessert. he said, kalau tak mamis and creamy and has tons of sugar in it, it is not his taste..leeerrrrr..told him, there're tons of sugar inside already...but to him tak manis..can like that...hahaha

anyway, sarina is now 9 years old. we celebrated her b'day nyer lunch last saturday. she chose to eat sushi..ni kan dia hantu sushi tau..she finished 9 nigiri ( yang single nyer) sushis..wahhhhhh...un-sangkerable betul lah. i thought she would eat like maybe 5 or 6..but nine..boleh tahan sehh. on her actual b'day, we had to go to wichita, sebab to we celebrated lambat sikit. and for her present, sean decided that he is going to get a microscope. but ni belum beli lagi..still looking around for something that is not expensive but still good lah.

ni after eating 9 sushis..still tak cukup...sarah nyer rice yang tak habis..she bedal :)

tak sempat nak amik gambar the good..dah lapar sangat..food datang jer terus ngap..hahaha. see how sarina kekenyangan..hahah. sean had udon while i had seafood and vege tempura..oh the tempura was soo goooood! yummmsss!

anyway, below , you can see how i make paninis. paninis ni kira italian nyer grilled sandwiches. it is very yummy and tastes better than the normal everyday sandwich lah . for the one i made below, i used fresh mozzarella cheese, with basil mayo and my own roasted chicken. i mmg tak minat sangat sandwiches ni..yang minat sean. kalau i, give me epok2 or mee dishes anytime..hehehe.

to make the basil mayo, i first buat the pesto sauce. i took a bunch of basil leaves growing in my garden, washed it, add some garlic and olive oil, salt and pepper and i kisar seme jadi macam paste. then i took some of it and just add the thing to the store bought mayo..dah jadi flavoured mayo kan :) better taste than the normal ones too. i sapu the roti on both sides with the mayo and put the rest on top.the cheese, chicken, the mushroom ( some wild mushroom that we picked ), onion, tomato and more cheese...hehe

dah jadi camni..i put them on the panini press..takder ini bende pun takper..leh buat kat atas daput, like i make sometimes, kalau malas nak bawak bende ni keluar. you toast it on both sides so the cheese will melt. make sure you put something heavy on top to press it .

this is my panini press cum griddle lah..boleh bukak so can make pancakes also..but i jarang pakai bende ni for pancakes. like i said, most times, i prefer using the stove top. make sure you press down hard eh :) kasi leper sikit :)

and once the cheese melts, voila..dah jadi dahhhh..tinggal siap nak makan jer :)
