When he cooked for us

Mar 9th, 2012 by

This week, MrFaiz spent quite some time in the kitchen as he wanted me to rest and fully recovered from the flu illness. I might have been infected with a stubborn influenza type this time, which caught me bad for nearly 2 weeks. Phew!

 

Today, our Daddy Chef made steamed siika fish for dinner. We had it with plain white rice and tempoyak. Owh, sungguh namm nammm! :)

Pizza and videos for Mikael sayang

Mar 4th, 2012 by

 

Before we went to bed last night, Mikael asked for pizza as he saw one in a magazine.

“Mama will make pizza for you tomorrow” I promised him.

So I made a small batch for our lunch today.

It was a simple homemade pizza topped with chicken, salad leaves and some goat cheese. Alhamdulillah, kenyang juga kami :)

I was using this recipe for pizza dough and the step by step pictures may illustrated how I divided the dough to small ones :)

Routinely, we would be teaching ABC and 123 to Mikael before every bedtime. We read and he repeated, nearly every time.

We also enjoyed singing and reading every day I walked him to school.

“Mama.. run..run..” he sometimes urged me for a faster ride. Of course, it was fun ;)

We had a great time watching him reading and counting last night. Especially when it came to alphabet W and number 7 :D

Mikael sayang, these videos are for you!

One chicken picture before dinner

Mar 1st, 2012 by

I walked fast to pick up Mikael at school yesterday.

Nothing could make him happier than when he rings the doorbell, Daddy’s there opening the door for him.

“Daddy home“… he ran fast to give daddy a big hug. There was so much joy in his eyes.. :)

Not long after, we had dinner with 0.5kg Blackened Chicken for 3 hungry tummies. Namm Namm! :D

Blackened Chicken Recipe

Modified from: Chuck’s Day Off

  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp 5-spices
  • a  few dashes of garlic powder
  • a few dashes of ground black pepper
  • salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 chicken about 0.5 kg
  • some olive oil for frying

For the blackened chicken: Combine all the spices and oil in a bowl. Evenly rub the chicken pieces with the spice mixture. Place in a large re-sealable plastic bag or a bowl covered in plastic wrap. Keep in the refrigerator for 1 hour or up to overnight for a more intense flavor.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C.

In a cast-iron skillet heat over high heat, add enough olive oil to coat the whole bottom of the pan. The pan will be ready when it starts to gently smoke. Place the chicken in the skillet and blacken all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and place the skillet (or oven proof dish) in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, set aside and keep warm.
