Kitchen Disaster!

Yesterday was a total kitchen disaster day! I should have planned earlier about what to cook...Sigh! I took salmon, crabmeat, squid, chicken out from the fridge... Still undecided. Ok, nasi lemak indeed! And put everything back in the fridge except squid.

First, I prepared the rice. It turned out soggy and uncooked. Time is tickling...and we are fasting today. The eggs are supposed to be hard boiled, but when they're peeled, the yolks are still juggling like a jelly.

Peanut! Ooh, they're mostly burned. Sambal sotong? Waah... so sweet and sour!!! (This is what you get when attempting to do your thing while your little toddler is grumpy, clingy and need your full attention!)

Hmm... I don't think i can make it in time anyway, so I grabbed an apple, persimmons and a pear. I peeled and coarsely chopped them together with almond, prunes, raisins and threw everything in one big bowl. Then I spoon a bit of brown sugar, salt to taste and a squirt of lime juice. Toss-toss! Walla! Dessert comes first!

After all the chaotic... here is the result:

Saya selalu juga main agak agak bila masak. Itu yg takde resepi, sebab malas nak measure. Ikut sedap tangan sendiri.

Iye betul tu. Kalau ada resepi pun, jarang saya akan ikut 100 peratus ape yg tertulis. Mesti nak ubah apa2 yang patut... Pastu tiap2kali masak mesti rasa lain2, hehehe!
