bread story

OMGG!!! byk nye work i can pengsann!!! ok im not procrastinating ppl.. system is down at d moment so i blog lah!! not much is happening in my life.. still dream of losing weight.. i swear this ageing thing does not bode well w me. i mean d way my metabolic rate is goin ud think im 60! i mean u used to be able to eat so much n stay d same weight but now!! haiyo.. i went to a wedding the other day. i woke up in d morning n immediately tried on clothes i wanted to wear to d said wedding. EVERYTHING FIT!! sum was even loose-ish u know! so i was uber happy and packed my stuff to go to his parents place to have lunch. we were gonna get ready and push off fr thr. after doing my hair n make up- he ironed my hair ok comel x!!- i put on my baju and i cud hardly breath!! i mean really how much cud i have grown in the span of 9 hours!! its crazy!! i love looking at myself in the morning before i shower... i avoid looking at mirrors before bedtime to avoid self loathing..

i havent cooked or baked anything in a while... he claims to have lost weight... i notice he looses weight wen i dont cook for long periods of time... wonder how ginormous he's gonna get wen we live togather after we're married... *shudder*

oh oh!! yesterday i bought charcoal bread!! i have a thing for bread and i love to try different kinds like w d seeds stuff and like green tea bread, or like red bean bread. so yesterday i got charcoal bread! ive been wanting to try it for sum time now bt he'd go 'ur never gonna eat it so dun bother la!' bt yesterday i got a loaf n fell in love! i love trying out new food and well bread isnt exactly like eating a spider or anything but eating a black coloured bread can be daunting for some. like jj who refused to take a bite.. and my bro who balked and refused to touch his plate after i put my half eaten charcoal bread on it. seriously la u ppl. dun b so boring can or not! i made an egg sandwich w my awesome bread n i loved itt! despite the colour, it didnt taste much diff den normal bread cept it tasted better!! coz it was slightly sweetish and really2 fluffy. spose to be good for u so try it ok!! normal white bread seems so boring now.. oh and we got tickets to watch disney on ice nx weekend! cant wait!!

delish!!

Discount Queen

Of late ive been addicted to discount sites. I find myself religiously checking all the sites i know everyday... ok dats a lie... a couple of times a day in hopes of finding good bargains. I have had some pretty good buys but i have to admit these discounted meals often skimp on ingredients and are more often the not- reduced in size. which is fine by me but my other half who eats like a dino may disagree. anyhoo!! today i went to milkadeal.com and got us a really cheap roller skating package!! remember roller skates!?? they came before roller blades!! roller blades r near extinction now n roller skates are like fossils!

These discounted sites often offer cheap hard to resist buy. and people like me- who cannot resist a bargain often fall victim to their ads. which reminds me- i still have two body spa vouchers that i purchased 2 months back.. my point is.. eventho these sites offer cheap buys- it does not mean we have to hog it all!! be smart and try to seperate the really good ones from the 'ok ok only' ones. like this one meal set package i bought last month. promising juicy steaks n all. what i actually got was a piece of thin meat so dry and tough if was like eating an old slipper. and the dessert promised, turned out to be tapioca tapai swimming in strawberry flavoured milk- yes milk. served with ice cream. we ate the ice cream n left the rest. but we got a buffet once that was really satisfying and it was a plus point that we were one of two couples dining that nite. it was like a private buffet. we kindda went a lil crazy w the food and could barely walk to the car afterwards.

so remember guys. next time u want to go crazy on these sites, do a websearch on the restaurant ok! or spa place or watever k! 

here's a list of discounted sites which i frequent

~ mine will be filled with weddings 

Sugar spice n all things nice

So i have been mulling over what to give as wedding favours for some time now... i think ive gotten the reception favours down pat. but im not sure about favours for our solemnization ceremony.. i kindda want to make something myself since there wont be too many guests, so i guess it'll be manageble.

i wanted something personal. something i made myself with love, from my heart. i scratched out cookies coz it has to be made fresh n there is no way im gonna slough in the kitchen on the day before my wedding, also, its rather dangerous as id probably consume half of it n not fit into my dress on the day. so cookies r a no no. then i thought about sumtin else. dun freak out ok. i thought of making flavoured salt! brilliant!? no? well u kno how much i LOVEEEE to cook!? so i thought what better to show thanks to those who came then to give them something which is so me!? n i will def be doing a considerable amount of cookng after the wedding so.. perfect!!! kan?? i though of making like a salt rub so people cn bring it home n rub their meat n chicken with it and grill or bake it or even bbq it or even make stir fry's with it! genius idea!!

Kindda like this but with a narrower prettier jar

i also thot of making sumthing simpler like rosemary salt or thyme salt! u know it smells heavenly and u can sprinkle it on ur pies n stuff till i thot about how often msians actually make pastries and scratched that idea... i planned to make some flavoured salt, and some flavoured sugar n put them in pretty jars tied with pretty bows with labels on them. i was plenty proud of myself till i went n told mom. she shot me down like a bird with a simple statement- "eee.. meraban la"

I wanted to cry!! i had all these ideas in my head n all sorts of recipes for the salt rub n flavoured sugar n types of jars i was gonna use n all. wen she saw my face she went "ok. we can consider it. well discuss it at next dewan rakyat meeting". haiyo, im already letting her choose the theme colour, lemme have my salt rub la maa!!! xsalt rub pon xpe. we can make pretty flavoured sugar kn!? so now my idea has been submitted to the dewan rakyat, pending approval. mcm approval xkn dtg je... mom really wants the pretty cut out cookies that r all the rage now. i think they're rather common kn? not like salt rub n flavoured sugar kn??

bagi pokok kang... but pretty kn d pokok.. ok i also suggested giving these little plants.. n got the same meraban response.. i think mama should really try thinking out of the box once in a while...
