Sambal Ikan Bilis dan Petai

T.H.E R.A.M.B.L.I.N.G.S

"Lazy lazy go away
Never ever again come my way...."

Yes, my blog had been idle for quite sometime. But never mind, I think, nobody noticed.. ahakss... selamattt!!!. Besides being busy with I don't really know what, I got carried away reading. And other than that, just being plain lazy. Lazy to switch on my laptop. And how can I update with my laptop switched off?? Oh never mind, don't bother to think of the answer as it won't come out in any examinations! Hahaha...

Anyway, I had been bad naughty last week. I slept late, 4 days in a row! Shhhh... please don't tell my hubby! 2 days doing cupcakes and brownies, and the other 2, can't stop reading! Why stop at 4 days? Because the next day, I had headache and I dare not even take my BP reading! Hahaha... But yesterday, I am on the right track again.. slept slightly early... 11.30 pm... err.. at least it is better than 2am right? Ngee......

Do you eat petai? If so, how do you like it, cooked or raw? I like it raw. But I just can't get myself to eat the skin though people said, it's good to eat with the skin. Anyway, this is my first time putting petai in my sambal after Hanita said that she longed to eat 'sambal ikan bilis dengan petai'.
