more pics and resepi for popiah basah :)

first of all..mintak maaf lah sesangat for not putting up the recipes earlier. too busy running around..hehe. tak lah busy mana..but kalau weekend kan..mmg computer ni i takder chan lah nak pakai lelama. this weekend pulak..i gi visit my in laws. dah lama tak jumpa diorang..kesian pulak. nak nak when they had bought clothes for the girls. insyallah some weekend nak jugak tido sana lah. my mil dah tanyer..bila nak tido sana lagi :) told her ..hopefully lepas bulan puasa lah. nak bangun sahur leceh sikit kan rumah orang.

another puffball that we found on friday. tengah driving down our street, sarah said she saw puffball under the small tree. sanggup seh sean patah balik and true enough..catty corner from our place, i saw this huge puffball there. apa lagi..amik and balik jer from salina..i pun terus fry it with salt , pepper and olive oil :)

dah lama tekak nak minum air nenas..but pernah buat , tapi rasa tak berapa sedap. then last week tepon kak chom, baru i tau how to do it. so apa lagi..for the past few days..air nenas lah jadi air minuman i :)

anyway, here are the biskut hazelnut rossettes yang tak macam rossettes. rasa dia macam apa tau shortbread. hazelnut nyer lah..this was the first batch yang tak pakai vanilla extract. the second one that i made today i taruk vanilla sikit and it tastes even better.

ni dia kuih dia. it is called rosettes sebab they pipe it into the shape kan..i pulak..alah..juat put it in like that lah.

the resepi for this :
250 gm butter
1/3 cup sugar
1 2/3 cup flour
60 gm hazelnut kisar halus
1 tsp vanilla extract

12 0z choco chips ( i use semi sweet, but i think, half semi and half bitter sweet tastes even better )
1/2 tbs vegetable shortening

directions:

cream butter and sugar..then add the vanilla and hazelnut kisar. last baru taruk tepung. now you can put it in a bag and pipe in into baking cups. or kalau nak ikut i..juat take a bit and dump it into the cups.

to make the choco topping, melt the chocolate with the shortening in a double boiler. then top the cookies and sprinkle a bit with coloured sprinkles..kalau suka :) then juat let the chocolate cool down sampai dia keras.

again most ppl will just put chocolate chips on top as deco..but i thought..kalau buat camni ..lagi sedap..hehehe. just an excuse to top stuff with chocolate :)

ni pulak, is texas patty melt..hehe..but i tak pakai patty lah..i just sliced some beef steaks instead. it is called texas ..sebab the bread yang i pakai, is called texas toast. it is a thicker cut of bread.

this one..also very very simple. for the beef..just panas kan a bit of oil, slice onions and a bit of garlic..then saute. then add the beef and salt and pepper..or whatever seasonings that you like. put a slice or two of cheese on the bread and top it with the meat.

then..you toast it on the griddle sampai the cheese melt..low heat lah..takut pulak nanti hangus roti kalau api besar..haha..ni kira dah pernah experience burnt toast lah ni..hahaha

and voila..dah jadi..yang suka saper tau..sean and sarina..i think sarah and i had our asam pedas with rice for buka :)

and ni dia..resepi popiah basah. i got this from resepi diana lah. she has several..but this one is really really good :)
