Wednesday- It's my turn to ramble..

Now that things have calmed down a little bit here, I have at least half an hour to sit down and start writing before Adam wakes up from his nap. 

We have arrived home safely on Monday afternoon and I was fully occupied with laundry, stocking up our staples and catching up with my routine life {-chores and chores} since then. I was only away for 4 days, and yet the holiday mood is still swirling around me. I feel like doing nothing these few days. The lazy me just wanna sit back and watch TV back to back.. I did cook and bake somehow, but naaaah.. nothing extraordinary..just the same O, same O..
Take this black pomfret fish for example. I marinated it with chili powder, turmeric, garlic salt and coriander flakes [?] just now.. and placed it back in the fridge. I think I'll fry it and have it with sambal kicap.. nyum nyum [and I think the coriander flakes will burn baby burn by the time I deep fry it..;p] See..the same old dish.. as stated in my menu planner. 

Yerp, I planned my menu and that's doesn't mean I'm an organized person. I skipped or repeated my menu sometimes he he I skipped meals that I don't feel like to cook that day..i.e. dalca, asam pedas.. and on the other hand, I keep on repeating the same menu for few days.. butter rice, chicken rice and oyakodon.. We never get tired of it... okay, I know, I know..I need to revise my menu planner.. hi hi I'll cut those high-ambitious-time-consuming-nobody eat-menu out of it.. 
..ok..where was I? I also baked vanilla cake last night, just to experiment new buttercream recipe I found from the net. The buttercream is super fluffy and I had to say it is the best buttercream recipe so far.. It has the right texture for cake decorating and as I was ready for it, the right nozzle for my intended pattern was MIA. sigh.. I placed the buttercream back into the fridge and sleep. ;p I badly want that 1M nozzle in my palm now.. 

Anyway, as for the chrysanthemum macs, most of the photos are with my husband. I'll try to upload it soon. InsyaAllah. ;)

Okay enough with the ramblings.. I need to check on that fish..

  10. RC,
    You plan your menu and yet not an organized person? Me too! *high 51*

    Planning the menu helps in buying only the needed things (ala-ala tak membazir gitu :D).

    LOVE your photos! They're amazing!

  12. That happens to me as well- I often plan but the laziness gets to me and things just get put on the back burner. I am sure the Pomfret would eventually tastes wonderful!
