Guilt.....

After almost 2 years staying home, suddenly i feel guilty doing that. Felt the pang when i pumped in the gas of my car last Saturday. My other half would do that for me when i told him the car was running low. I had to do it myself as the indicator was blinking crazily and he was away. I paid RM95.00 for a full tank. Before the increased of the fuel price, it was RN75.00...oohh dear. Then this morning, i went to the market and bought long bean which had 7 pieces already "rubber banded" and cost me RM1.00....felt like putting them back but my chili api rendang wont be my rendang without the sliced long beans. And i did not have to buy another vegetable. So anyone out there has any vacancy around Seremban area please get in touch ............


The long beans were gorgeous in this rendang. Suddenly my mind went to a friend somewhere on the other side of the world. Wish i could pack you some of these rendang....but for now just enjoy the pictures he he......for Che Mat terror masak click here for recipe, personally i like this rendang with beef but the kids requested chicken this time.

These were Coconut Mini tartlets I made for dessert. to me its delicious but were not to my boys liking....they are more into cheese tarts or the earlier posted crumbled blueberry tarts.

David Tutera's Southern Fried Chicken.

Channel 11 of Astro is one of my favorite. I watch Jamie Oliver shows, Nigella, Anthony Bourdain, Surreal Gourmet, Surf the Menu and many others. At times the kids would hide the remote from me. Somehow i don't exactly remember what time and day these programs will be on. By chance while flipping channels only i watch them. Lucky me, there many repeat for these programs. One other series which i like to watch is Party Planner with David Tutera. Always amaze with his creativities and the passion he has. Most of the time he would meet the caterer of the party food and show the audience how to make some of the food serve in the party that he help plan. In one show the theme requested by his client was Southern theme and the chef showed how to make typical southern fried chicken. It was so simple i manage to jot down what he used to fry the chicken. I gave this fried chicken a try last week and you can see the reception by looking at the hand in the picture lol.....just eyeball the ingredients and you cannot go wrong here...
