I called it special, as it was the first time I made my own sorbet.

How much I wish it is summer again.  I long for the times where I could easily pick the most ripe strawberries and enjoy them to the fullest ;)

It started a week ago, where I always make sure there is ice cream in my freezer.

Mikael? he’s definitely in the mood for one. Regardless of seasons :D

I used fresh strawberry and frozen blueberry to make the sorbet. Both were equally good.

Owh, I was so much in love with them :D

I referred to Judy’s recipe from Food.com, I think it was the simplest recipe ever.

However, I made some changes since I wanted it without orange juice. Loads of thanks to Judy for the recipe :)

Fruit sorbet recipe

modified from: Judy@food.com

Serves: 6-8

  • 1 1/2 cup water
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries (or frozen blueberries)
  1. Combine water & sugar in a pan, stir over low heat until sugar dissolves.
  2. Bring to a boil & boil gently for 5 minutes without stirring.
  3. Set aside to cool.
  4. Wash berries.
  5. Remove caps.
  6. Puree fruit in a blender or food processor until almost smooth.
  7. In a medium bowl, combine fruit with cooled syrup.
  8. If you have an ice cream freezer, you can put the puree mixture into that & process using the directions with the machine.
  9. Otherwise, pour into an 8 by 8 pan & cover with plastic wrap.
  10. Place in freezer & freeze until almost firm, 1 to 2 hours (mine took 3 hours).
  11. Stir 2 or 3 times with a fork while freezing.

We started our day with muesli, pecans and some cinnamon spiced apples. While Mikael had his regular cocoa crunch and a few choc. cookies as a start.

This is for me the best muesli in town. With mildly sweet rolled oats and rich of pecans, this can definitely keep you full until the next meal :)

For lunch, MrFaiz wanted his favorite fish curry (kari ikan bawal) and I simply wanted a stir fried lamb with turmeric (daging goreng kunyit).

And when there is a fish curry, sambal belacan is a must ;)

Before lunch, we decided to have a little make-over for Mikael. His hair…. was such a mess lately. I had a hard time every morning trying to get his hair straight and neat.

Maybe it was just too long that it turned to a bunch of uncombable hair, syndrome kind of. hehe :D

We took him to a barber a few weeks ago. But he wasn’t comfortable at all and ended up with a small hysteria in the shop. The best way so far, is by having daddy as his private hair stylist :D

The dramatic episode ended not long after the make-over. We enjoyed our lunch with the big combo including several pieces of poppadom. Yummy! ;)

There’s a few more hours before another weekend ends. As it is gonna be Monday again, I wish everybody for a wonderful week ahead!

Enjoice! :)

We had a beautiful beautiful saturday morning today.

The first thing I made for our breakfast was those Crispy Plum Tarts. I rolled 4 mini tarts,thinly and arranged some sliced plums in the middle.

The sweet aroma from the vanilla essence was everywhere.

Meanwhile, MrFaiz was the one getting the little young man ready, as I was still running around my small kitchen preparing some stuff.

After shower, Mikael was running half naked around the house, didn’t want to put any cloth on. Phew! sabar je lah.

He wanted to squeeze himself too when we were busy taking some pictures. I gave him some space, sprinkling some sugar seemed to be a very important job for him.

Well done sayang :D
