I just had a tiring night of kneading and baking and chopping and my share of kusuting for i have never attempted making pizza from scratch before. It was like an excercise, ill be damned if i get ASTHMA tonight!! he-he.

I was saying to my mom how sick i am of eating out and asked if she could give me a decent amount of cash to go grocery shopping with so that i could start cooking again. I seldom cook on my holidays back to Brunei for obvious reasons such as

1. why cook when you have maids preparing the conventional ‘lauk rabus’ for breakfast, lunch, dinner?
2. eating out is cheap..unlesss ure paying $5.50 for a glass of GINA MANGO JUICE.

but it gets to a point where you’re just sick and muak of what they’re serving you out there that you finally feel the KNEAD (pun intended) to have a home cooked meal. So off to supasave i went to get the ingredients that ill be needing for tonight’s dinner.

The reason why i never made pizza bases from scratch before is because the recipe usually calls for ‘yeast’ hehehe you all know how crap i am when it comes to baking, i dont know why but the term BAKING just doesnt seem to register in neither my LEFT or RIGHT brain. So quite often i wouldn’t bother with recipes that requires alot of BAKING and TAPONG and EGgs & YEAST … in my head it all sounds like form 5 punya A-MATHS. Membari paning. However, i was up last night surfing food blogs and found a post that had illustrations on how to KNEAD A PIZZA DOUGH.. it seemed easy enough and by the 8th step (which was a picture of the end product with toppings and everything) my mouth was already watering and i started tossing and turning in my bed..so i thought WHY NOT?

After much fussing around to whether i had put too much yeast or there lack of.. i surprised my self when i saw the dough rising after an hour. I surprised my self further when i realised that i had managed to roll the dough out in to perfect ROUNDS.

huhu. I thought id make the pizza abit more decadent by adding spinach and portabello mushrooms. i found these amazing portabello mushrooms tadi at supasave.. $2 bucks for 3 pieces heh i thought to myself THESE BETTER BE GOOD and what do u know ..they were!!! and the sauce was made from scratch pun.

before it went in to the oven.

Generous amount of cheese bubbling in the oven.

How it looked like OUTSIDE the oven!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aziz enjoying his FIRST piece. I made two batches by the way, just incase people got hungry..and made mini pizzas with the remaining dough for my brother who only eats cheese and tomato.

Rahim’s Batch.

this isn’t a really good photo, i know. haha tapi by this batch my hands were literally shaking from kneading & rolling that i wsn’t really bothered anymore. huhu.

loveeed how it looked. I went all VAIN POT on my pizza..huhuhu..i just thought it looked restaurant worthy..but thats just me la..

haha anyway, its 2 in the morning. time for me to hit the sack. huhu i need to RECUPERATE.

oh oh before i forget.. i also made my version of the Spaghettini Agli-Oglio recipe, with the left over mushrooms,olive oil, parsely, black pepper and lots and lots of garlic ..and ofcourse chicken stock. The mushrooms turned the dish a little bit black..huhu it resembled squid ink pasta (siasapun) ..but just like everything else, the oglio was lovely pun..huhuhu..awu angkat bakul sendiri, baik tah puji diri sendiri, menunggu urang memuji DOI LAMA LAGI.

kiss me.

trey songz rock my world right now.

i’ve got home made pizzas cooking in the oven..topped with lots and lots of mozarella, chilli flakes & basil huhuhu..

ive also made spags oglio on the side..

contradictory to trey songz’s song huhuh..

I CANT WAIT TO SINK MY TEETH IN TO IT.

kiss me.

“Ngah..ada kueh??”

which is exactly what im going to do.

hahaha.

Apparently Americans spend 40% of their time online deleting spam. and i’m ONE of them. hahaha..nda paham.

I was spring cleaning my comment box again. Spam Karma 2’s working like magic now, but i did made a mistake of deleting a few more ‘human’ comments. argh. annoying. and i’m sorry guys. but rest assured i wont be accidentally deleting comments after this cause ive finally figured out what was wrong with the anti-spam plugin. I wasn’t able to install it properly earlier. heh. turns out i ONLY had to do ONE simple thing for it to load. talor.

Belated birthday wish going out to my little cousin Naqiyyah who turned 3 yesterday!!! Happy birthday little one love kisses and hugs Kaka Siti. huhu.

i was planning on joining Nadz, Jats and Nad G. for lunch at Happy Dean. but the house nada be-elektrik this morning hence depriving me of a hot shower and outgoing calls on the house’s cordless phone. Not only i couldn’t mandi but i also couldn’t tell Nad to tell her that i can’t make it. oh sama PS: AKU INDA BE CREDIT. lol. The electricity only came back at 12.. and it’s pretty late to go now.. it’s pretty late to rush even. hahah so nda apa next time saja. sorry girls.

oh and in memory of Heath Ledger,

this scene right here is how i fell in love with him. i loved this scene so much that at one point i kept on rewinding it and playing it balik2 mcm orang geelz. goodbye heath, you will be missed.

kiss me.

LOL. egdegedeng.. edegedengdeng..edegendeng deng maaaaaaaaaaa…

Spent the morning watching Dirty Sexy Money on my mac and i spent the last half an hour drooling over the new macintosh airbook. Now im wishing that i had all the dirty sexy money in the world.

Waiting for mummy to come for lunch.

bored bored bored bored bored bored.

All this time,I dint think that the writer’s guild strike would or could effect me in any way. That was until i started watching season 2 of heroes. The season ended at episode 11.. mcm alang2..they may as well didnt have a season 2. to begin with..egh..the downside of globalisation and capitalism and strikes and unions. blah.

But i’m over that. So long project runway & gossip girl are still on its happy days!

i’ve also started watching “Cashmere Mafia”. loving the whole career women + (now cliched) sex & the city scene but totally HATING, LUCY LIU.

Itu amoi ah, wa tatak suka sama lia.

In episode 2, there was this one scene where she had (what i think) was the end of her pony tail pulled over to the front of her head making her look like she has a shorter fringe in between LONGER ones..to me her forehead looked like a mouth with two front teeth missing. i just didnt know what to make of it. she looked like she had friends over at the Alan Inspiration salon in MIRI. She was also wearing what MASHA AF wore in URTV 3 years ago..oh u know, that fake fur all around the shoulders look .

Are they trying to make her the next Carrie bradshaw kah? Inda lawa wah. I see her carrying these over the top looks.. bits and pieces of it are okay, like the vintage/retro chandelier earrings she wears (the kinds that starts off as studs and then flows all the way down to the neckline..NYUMMY) but so far mcm i think its all too much. thats the thing, she has that “mcm lawa jua, mcm bida jua” effect on me. confuse jua ku tu. i mean who wants to be confused watching a pretty straight forward tv show? and that really adds to my annoyance.

as you can see in the photo below, her top is fabuloussss and her earrings are hot.. its just the belt im worried about…ITS SO HONGKONG.. its that bad that they might as well dub the show as HONGKONG MAFIA..starring Lucy Liu as Chan Honam’s wife.

kiss me.
