Homemade Peanut Butter

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

A few days ago, I came across one post on my daughter's Facebook wall. A friend of hers wrote, he dreamt that my daughter and I opened a cafe and there were a lot of tasty food!! 

OMG... I have never met this friend of hers and I am not sure if he had tasted any of the food that I've prepared and still he dreamt that I own a cafe. So sweet of you Ainul Haqkim. You've made my day... Though I am quite sure your dream won't come true, but I will keep that as my dream too... who knows one day, everything might change.... *wink* 

And perhaps, these will be my cafe's menu.... ahaha... dream on mama.... 

T.H.E R.E.C.I.P.E 

Last Sunday, I wanted to try a recipe from Makchu's book. I had all the ingredients, except one, and the main one it seems! I was just too lazy to go to the shop to get this one ingredient. Luckily my brain was working that day and I googled for the homemade peanut butter recipe.... And since I am still in the state of being lazy, I just grabbed whatever peanut available, so maybe, my peanut butter is not as healthy as it should be... hahaha.. nevertheless, I have peanut butter without having to go to the shop and get a bottle!!
