Day In, Day Out

Typically, I arrive in school before 7am. Monday my class ends at 3.50pm. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, classes end at 1.30 pm however we're packed with meetings, extra classes, curricular activities stretching our afternoons till 4.30pm or so; and for the past 3 weeks I've been attending volleyball practices 4.30pm till 6pm. The practices are meant for the upcoming state's level match next week to be held in Kota Samarahan. Nervous? Heck I am.

With the (approximately) 30mins drive, I usually arrive home by 6.30pm.

Such a routine. I wonder how I will like my new job later. I've yet to complete the medical check ups and several other documents required. I've not manage to steal any time with all the on-goings in school.

Mum's been baking cheesecakes. Five orders these two days. She specialises in a few varieties so far. I'm so glad I bought her the recipe book for last Mother's day gift. The cheesecakes are to die for and she's baking some every single week. If she's happy, I'm happy. Though her time spent baking would cost me home cooked dinner. =P Jokingly I told Mum we might need another oven and more baking trays by the end of the year. Silap-silap tambah lagi satu fridge. Mana nak station ntah.

She's been making pineapple jam to make some tarts for us to bring over to Miri next month. Time does fly really fast ay, soon it'll be August then September.

Out of boredom and craving I decided to make kuih bakar. There was one time when I could not miss this kuih for breakfast. Hari-hari beli. Below is the simple kuih bakar version. It tasted original. =P

Kuih Bakar

2 egg
6oz sugar (you may substitute it with gula merah)
140g flour
1/2 cup coconut cream (Ideal Milk's Santan flavour is a good alternative)
40ml pandan juice extract (it is always good to use pestle and mortar but the lazy me just blend extra lots of screwpine leaves with some water)

1. Beat sugar and egg till sugar is dissolved.
2. Add in flour, coconut cream, pandan extract and mix well.
3. Pour batter into a baking tin. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top.
4. Preheat oven for 3mins at 180°C. Bake for 30-40mins.

Kuah Rojak

½ kg sugar, plus a good dose of gula merah
½ bottle chilli ketchup (di-suggest brand Life)
½ bottle soy sauce (di-suggest brand Tamin)
¼ tin petis udang (guane nak kata nieh? shrimp paste kan belacan? heheee...)

Bring everything to a simmer under a slow fire till you've achieved a desired consistency and thickness.

We used this kuah rojak recipe during one of our attempted business venture in our uni days. It goes great with guava, pineapples, cucumber, watercress, rose apple etc.

I can't find my lab coat for tomorrow's lab work!!! ishk, what if I have more labs works to do in the new job? Where to get a new one? My Bro's one is also missing. Mana lah I campak mine dulu ek.. uhuk...uhuk...

Anyway, I bought some potatoes to finish off the minced beef in the freezer. Should it be Shepard's Pie or Bergedil?

This is a blog belonging to a homosapien of the XX species so you have to pardon all the food discussion. =D
