Caring Is Not Only Sharing...

AIKKSSS... WHAT A NAME FOR A DISH? And usually this Mixture-Of-Everything dish is everyone's favourite in my family and I am sure many of us love it as well! Normally this dish is created after when the festive season is over.  Any leftover of dishes are not to be wasted, they can just go into the pot at one go, add in blanched mustard leaves, dried chillies, tamarind, tomatoes, lemon grass, ginger...  As for me, I do not have leftover food so I made a special request to my neighbour who goes out very early each morning.  First question to him, "Do you like Chap Choy?" His reply... "Yes, I love that dish!"  Good, in that case, you have to buy some the roasted pork trotter for me!   LOL....  He ended up buying a pork trotter and of course, I reimbursed him, he is already so nice to go out early to catch the roasted pork man.... LOL.. Pork trotter cost around RM23 and mustard leaves around RM10.  Never mind the money, the One Dish Dinner satisfied our cravingsss

SPIKING HIGH...  Every each day I receive worrying messages about Covid-19, how it has affects many lives in Malaysia, a country now almost having the same dilemma as in India.... sounds kind of frightening, right?  Not only that, what is more worrying is the health frontline people, their lives are at risk each day in the hospital while we have the comforts of our own home and what is most worrying is that they might have to play God one day, who to live and who to die... due to the insufficient of ICU places....  and the list goes on and on....  Every now and then, I used to think back.... before 2020, life was very normal for us... and then in a matter of days, our lifestyle have change so drastically.  How can we play a part in the midst of this pandemic?  Stay home, stay home and stay home... for us retirees, this can be possible, however, for those who are bread winners, it is quite an impossible task.  Anyway, I wish all of us continue to be optimistic and strong, stay positive

CRAVINGS ACCOMPLISHED... though not as tasty nor as impressive as those sold outside.   Felt like eating peanuts pancake aka Tai Kau Meen yesterday, but thinking of driving out for just two pieces, forget it.... The thought of taking precautions, SOPs, bathing immediately upon reaching home.... oh... those hassles and trouble, I ended up taking out flour, baking soda, one egg, sugar and crushed peanuts instead. I made two big pieces of this size.... Added in some butter for flavour...  Lots of peanuts but very much less sugar....  And my cravings are satisfied....  Two Big Pieces.... and one given to my furry family member.... Hope she enjoyed it as much as I did....  LOL.... 

MY MOST LIKED DESSERTS.... ICE CREAM!! Received one tub on Saturday afternoon and two tubs on a Sunday.... my favourite desserts of all times!  Forget about the weight, I am going to indulge myself in a few spoonfuls of this tub and that tub after every meal... LOL....   I have never order ice cream online before, I am afraid that by the time they arrive, the ice cream would have softened.  Thank goodness, these tubs did not melt a bit, they arrived in good condition, not softened at all.  Very good!   This arrived on Saturday evening around 4pm... After the heavy rain and thunder.... And the flavour is Durian! I tried a few spoonfuls after dinner... Taste? Very Durian-licious!! Love it!! And these two tubs came on Sunday afternoon.... Homemade Gelatos.... One is Pistachio and the other one is .... Durian!! My two senders really know me very well.... A Durian Lover! LOL....  I must try this Homemade Durian ice cream after my lunch later.... hmmmm......  Big Thank You to EK and KC.... R

FROM PANDORA but paid by my kids.... LOL....  Received a package yesterday afternoon from Ninja Turtle  van, not surprising these days cos I have been ordering a number of things online for the past few days.  But to my surprise, I did not order anything from Pandora!  Immediately I know who.... something small and sweet...  Received feedback from the senders that from this year onwards, they do not have to think so much on what to buy for their mommy..... something small and sweet to represent each year and at the same time, something to add to my collection!  LOL...  Ninja package....  A very small white box...  Compared to a small white bag....  Inside lays a tiny bracelet charm.... So minute.... That I have to zoom my camera.....  Then only I could see the small pink diamonds on the "holder" Almost need a magnifying glass to see that.... And behind the charm says "I love you" Small and sweet it seems, But the words are big,  And will remain in my heart.... Alway

ONLINE, BUYING BACK AND HOMECOOKED MEALS... and these are normally what we post these days, right?  LOL.... I don't do gardening much but now I have a few pots of Okra in front and at the backyard.  Besides Okra, my good friend is going to hand over her baby eggplants to me and I hope that once they are passed over, they would stay healthy and strong with me!  LOL....  For now, another food post on what I have eaten these few days.....  Noodles in the morning bought back by neighbour.... My lunch and dinner....  Chicken pie bought outside,  Egg mayo chicken floss bun bought online... And 3 slices of luncheon meat leftover from previous night dinner... Yes, good enough for my day's meal....  On another morning, I ate Hakka mee with these 4 stuffings.... BoBo Puffs ordered online by a sweet young lady....  I like the yellow one best.... why? Fillings is all durian! How I miss the real durian fruit.....  Except for the green macha, the other three are gone with the wind...  LOL...
