A Homemaker’s Diary

I have started my edible garden but nothing beats the satisfaction of seeing the flowers bloom.

Like today, it has been raining non stop since morning. Some states like Pahang even get flood problem. I was out in the garden when I see that this pot of rose of mine has bloomed.

Wonderful, isn’t it..the power of Allah’s creation 🙂

Same as the first pregnancy, I have this tendency to try new recipes at home. I told Hubby that I want to make Roti John at home when we bought groceries at Tesco last night. It turned out that the recipe is quite simple.

You just have to fry the minced chicken or beef with some onion, garlic, ginger and curry powder. I always have blended paste of onion, garlic and ginger in the fridge so it was not a hassle at all. Then if you like daun bawang or daun sup, you can chop them finely and put in the fried minced meat. Add seasoning like black or white pepper and salt.

Take out the cooked meat. Put a bit of butter in the non stick pan, put the minced meat the size of the bread. Pour the egg which you must beat earlier. Put the bread on top of the egg. Wait till the egg turn brown and flip the bread.

Garnish your Roti John with any condiment you like. My favorite will be chili sauce and mayonaise. Add on vegetable like butterhead lettuce, thin slices of cucumber and tomato. Eat your bread hot.

Last year I was all into rose gardening. I have about 30 different type of roses in my garden. Gradually some died and I was left with 15-20 pots. But after 4 months of pregnancy sickness, only 3 pots survive..huhu!

But the good thing is all the pandan plants given by a friend live well. At the moment I have 3 big pandan plants which I plan to use during my confinement.

I think for 2014, I’m going to stop planting new flowering plants (unless it has some medicinal value). My gardening plan for next year is to plant more edible plants, vegetables or herbs.

To those who are interested to decorate their own kitchen with handmade craft, you are welcome to learn the art of decoupage for a minimal fee of RM60. I will conduct a class on 17 November 2013, Sunday, 2pm. The duration of the class is usually around 2 1/2 hour.

You will learn the basic technique of decoupage using paper napkin/serviette, how to color the background, do some shading on the frame/ceramic plate and how to write the wordings on your craft work.
