Coney Island Hotdog Sauce

Assalamualaikum and hello everyone.....
Jumaa mubaraq to all...

Yesterday was a very hectic day for me with such tight schedule. I was on my feet, the moment I opened my eyes in the morning right up till my bedtime! Still, my list-to-do doesn't seem to get shorter! I guess that's my punishment for wasting so much time when I was much younger, during college life to be precise. Wasting time in the sense that I don't benefit time to study hard, instead I just enjoyed my days, cleaning my room, listening to music and those sort of things. I hardly get out of campus area even on weekends. I was in ITM Shah Alam for 2 1/2 years and the number of times I went outing with friends, if I am not mistaken, was less than 3 times, that is excluding the trips to the bus station in Klang, to catch a bus back to Malacca. I am a homely kind of girl... and still am, if given a choice! *wink*

And yesterday, managed to prepare the brownies ordered by Yan and posted to her before 3 pm., before the collection time of Poslaju. Hope the brownies will reach her the way I had sent them! Thanks Yan. Pleasure doing business with you. I'll be right here waiting for the feedback. Meantime, I hope you'll enjoy those browmies as much as I had enjoyed baking them for you.

Around 3pm, dropped the kids to the tuition place and off to Selangor Specialist Hospital to get my first Cervarix dose since my papsmear result is clear. Alhamdulillah. Reached home around 5.30pm, managed to sweep the house and out again, to fetch the kids home. After Maghrib, out to send Syahmi to his tuition place and fetch him around 9.30pm. At home, the big pile of laundry was waiting to be folded! Endless endless.....but yeah... I'm happy... and that's what counts....

Anyway, let me leave you now with this new recipe that I've tried last week for Syahmi's lunch. Dug the recipe from Allrecipes. Thanks to Joan for sharing the recipe with us and I'll repost the recipe here, the way I had done it.
