Ketam Masak Lemak Cili Padi



At the moment, I am strucked by the L.A.Z.Y virus, to the scale of 4 out of 5. It was 5 previously but I think, I am getting much better in fighting it. Wish me luck in my battle of the virus! Hahaha....

I wasn't kidding when I said the above. I had to cook because my mom is with us at the moment. Otherwise, the kids will have to make do with all those simple and effortless menu. Poor kids!!! But I don't think they'd mind because Fatin is not a rice kind of person. And Syahmi, well that boy is easily pleased, which makes the mama 'naik lemak!!! And dearest hubby...he's very simple. Anything will do. Am I the lucky one or not! Muahhh...love you guys with all my heart!

Anyway, before the virus gets the best of me, let me just post this crab recipe I had tried a few weeks ago. We went to Bagan Lalang, just to see the place after hubby's friend told him about it. On our way back, we came by the stall selling fresh fish, crabs and prawns. Since it had been quite a while I didn't eat crabs, we bought just 2 pieces. And the best thing is, the lady helped to clean the crabs and the fishes. All I have to do when we got home was just to wash it with lime and ready to cook! So this was the end result of the crabs.... yummy! Thanks Rinn!

  15. Salam mama. Sorry lah lambat jwb soklan mama tu. Ni baru nk update cikit2, pun masih ketaq2 lagi. Tote bag & pencil case tu Along pinjam yg dah siap dari kawan buat contoh,pas tu pepandai pomen2 buat sendiri with some tips from them. Buku takda yg good untuk rekmen. Ada one book tu pun tak clear sgt instruction dia. Mama nak buat projeck menjahit ke ni? Mesin Along pun dh berkarat ni... lama sgt tak menjahit.

    Tote bag & pencil case tu along buat quilt dulu, pas tu baru potong saiz & bentuk yg Along suka. Kalau mama tak reti buat quilt, mama lapik dgn colar hard cloth (yg glue dia tu iron type), pastu mama letak backing material, pastu cantum kiri & bawah pun ok, tu yg paling simple. Cuba mama cari buku kat kedai yg jual quilt material ataupun at bookshop dekat bahagian jual imported magazines. Hope this simple tips can help.
