Ciabatta

He made them, baked them, I eat them. I love my baker husband!

I end up making some Tuna Cream pasta with Garlic Ciabatta toast. Yummms! Have a great dinner, everyone. 

Glorious Food!

Chapter: 16, Verse 114

"...therefore eat of what Allah has given you, lawful and good (things), and give thanks for Allah's favor if Him do you serve.."

Thank you, Allah & to my Suami for this blissful life. Having to live in this world, with food that are made from earth. Alhamdulillah.

Mascarpone..

I made Tiramisu today. heh heh heh. Will post photos and update this post. At the mean time, I'm a happy kid. Loving the smooth, fluffy and creamy look of the cheese, with soggy, soggy, soggy coffee dipped ladyfinger biscuits. Ohhh, cant wait to get my hands on them babies, once its all cool up in the fridge.

In the mean time, taking a rest as today's agenda was, woke up early, early, early and had a bit of mood swing, when to the club house with Suami and did our gym workout. He did 90 sits ups, while I managed to do 40. Blah!

After working out, we both went to the market and bought some fishes, squids and prawn. Suami wanted to go to Sai Kung for lunch, but I wasn't up for it. So, I decided to do some Sai Kung style cooking. Heh heh heh. Deep fried fish (I think the fish we bought was Snapper) with dark soya sauce, buttered deep fried prawn with egg floss, though the eggs wasn't flossy enough. And my kangkung goreng belacan (Fried spinach cooked with fermented prawn paste.) Suami had 3 helpings and of course I packed for him for his dinner.


Ok, not feeling well now. I think I'm having a little bit of headache. Maybe due to stress level at home. I think, now I know how my mom feels every time she sees the clothes not folded, clothes not washed, house not clean, bed not made, and yada, yada, so on, so on.

Update soon. With the Tiramisu recipe too. Ooo, I can't wait! :)

As promised Tiramisu recipe :

• 250 g of Mascarpone Cheese (Get the expensive ones. It's about quality baybeh, not quantity).
• 100 g granulated sugar.
• 3 eggs (separate the egg whites and yolks).
• 400 g whipped cream.
• A dash of Vanilla extract.
• A packet of ladyfinger biscuits (Can usually find them at an international food store or Italian).
• Espresso powder or I use instant coffee mix.
• Double boiler.

What you need to do:

1. Whipped cream to its peak and store in the fridge.
2. Add hot water to coffee and let it cool to room temperature.
3. Separate eggs white and yolks.
4. Beat egg yolks with some of the sugar till fluffy.
5. Slowly & patiently stir egg yolks & sugar in the double boiler till eggs look custard like (basically looks cooked).
6. Once eggs is custard like, let it rest.
7. In a bowl, put Mascarpone cheese & vanilla. Whisk or mixed or what ever you want to do so that it blends well.
8. Add in custard like eggs. Let it aside.
9. In another bowl, whisk egg whites till it's fluffy like whipped cream and slowly add in the left sugar (after the egg whites looks fluffy and whipped cream like)
10. Fold egg whites in the cheese mixture.
11. Take out chilled beat whipped cream and fold whipped cream in the cheese mixture.

Cream is done.
Now to make it look like a Tiramisu, what you need to do is :

1. Dipped in ladyfinger biscuits into coffee and lay it on your desired pan, Tupperware, glass or anything that holds.
2. Once filled, pour cream on it and level the cream.
3. Add in ladyfinger biscuits with coffee.
4. Filled the left over cream on top.
5. Basically, dipped ladyfinger, then cream, then ladyfinger, then cream.

I didn't have any cocoa powder to give it a Midas touch to it. But heck, it still taste the same. Instead, I have got some cherries in my fridge and made my own sauce.

1. Diced cherries or just cut into 2 (make sure seeds taken out)
2. A spoonful of sugar
3. Lemon juice (I didn't have any, so I used apple juice)
4. Tupperware container

What you need to do:

1. Put in cherries, a dash of apple/lemon juice and 2 spoonful of less sugar (depending on how much sweetness you want) in the container and close the lid.
2. Shake well and leave it alone in the fridge to let them sweat its own juice. heh heh heh..

Enjoy!

Best Home Remedies for...

*REMINDER TO RE-EXPLAINED AS STUPID CONNECTION SUDDENLY GOES CRAZY & LOST WHATEVER I TYPED *

I managed to try out some home remedies this week. Such as removing:-

1. Smelly/stinky feet odor.

2. Smelly shoes.

3. Armpit ordor.

4. Room ordor.

5. Wardrobe smells.

6. Dull bathroom appliances.

7. Dull glass/mirror.

You may never wonder those things can be found in your own home without you taking out those green/blue/red/ or which ever country your notes are. Well, maybe one or two things you've got to buy - no, invest. As stated on my Facebook status, being a housewife makes me gain loads of knowledge. I mean, we are newly weds, I try not to buy things which I believe the best way to clean up your own home is by using the old school ways. I mean, how the hell did our grand ancestors, great great great ancestors clean their homes when back in those days, there weren't much of technologies. Plus, they look good and healthy, compare to our generation now living.

So, open up your home kitchen cabinet, and take out those things which you can use to spruce up your home, and save up your money from paying a maid. Mind you, above items are the least things you can use. Theres more to it. You may think, cornstarch is for cooking, but if you pinch some into your shoes, it absorbs the moist and smell and keeps your feet happy.

I use mostly yang dah expired or about to be thrown out. Don't go stack those old teabags until it "berkulat". But, use wisely. Oh, well. I hope this helps.

Smell free, people. Smell free. :)
