This is suitable for those who are in a hurry (like me, always) and also when you already ran out of cooking ideas or you have a surprise visitor for dinner and lunch and the chicken or fish are still frozen. By the way, I have this entry in here before, but no harm posting it again, correct? (sorry for the blur image, as I said earlier, in a hurry) What you need: 2 eggs beaten (add pinch of salt & black pepper) 1 potato (peel & sliced thinly) Cooking oil Spring onion How to: 1. Heat your non-stick frying pan (I used the small one - enough for two eggs) 2. Fry your potato (I arranged it nicely onto the pan and let it fry. 3. Pour in the egg mixture. And let the center of the egg set. Make sure a your stove is on a low medium heat, Or you will burn the bottom of your egg before the center is properly set. 4. Garnish with spring onion before the egg set completely. (You may put a lid on the frying pan for a fast cooking) And ... it's ready

Running out of ideas to cook, I thought of making sandwiches. The kids used to like it during last Ramadhan. And, Alhamdulillah it's proven to be their choice of food to begin their iftar with. Just to make sure the kids get a balance diet, I add sliced tomato and cucumber to the sandwich. What you need: 1 can of sardine Some cucumber and tomato (sliced thinly) Onion (diced finely) Salt to taste Lime juice How to: Just mix all the ingredient together. Sandwich the sardines, tomato and cucumber in between two slices of white loaf. (You may add mayonaise if you like, I did not because my lovely Sabrina is allergic to egg). Sometimes, simpler is the choice!!!

(Source of info: Wikipedia) (Source of photo: http://www.womansday.com) Not satisfied and not happy with the earlier findings about cooking oil, I stop by at Mr Wiki's place on Cooking oil and found this: Oils that are suitable for high-temperature frying (above 230 °C/446 °F) because of their high smoke point include[citation needed]: Avocado oil Rapeseed oil (marketed Canola oil or, sometimes, simply "vegetable oil" in the UK) Corn oil Mustard oil Palm oil Peanut oil (marketed as "groundnut oil" in the UK) Rice bran oil Safflower oil Sesame oil (semi-refined) Soybean oil Sunflower oil Alhamdulillah, at least the sunflower oil is listed. However, corn oil is a better choice for frying. But, remember never use olive oil for high temperature cooking. It is only for medium temperature (above 190 °C/374 °F) cooking. Hopefully, our family are eating healthy and HALAL.

For day 13 of break fast, I made some vege fritters for the family (that is the side dish). The main dish was Nasi Lemak Bebas Santan (which I will share in the next entry). I am the only one who loves the fritters. Hubby will have some, but MUST have it with the groundnut sauce or sugar. Since the rest of the family member can enjoy their Nasi Lemak Bebas Santan, I can enjoy my fritters. To me, it has some nutritional value except that it is a bit oily ( but I use the sunflower oil for frying ma... ) A search on the internet about sunflower oil landed me with this interesting facts ( http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0860/is_n1_v52/ai_8252703/ ): Sunflower oil is very high in polyunsaturated fat. Next to sunflower, it is the highest -- its fatty acid composition ranges between 64 and 68 percent. From a nutritional standpoint, this is desirable, because as mentioned earlier, polyunsaturates are the source of essential fatty acids necessary for the production of prostaglandins. But...

For the 9th Ramadhan, the kids opt for a western break fast. They wanted a home made burger, Well, Alhamdulillah , simple task for me. But as usual, Atikah will not be satisfied with my ordinary burger recipe, so she made some modification to the recipe. This is the burger in making. If you look closely, you can see that the burger is going to be wrapped in the egg which has been mixed with evaporated milk, black pepper and sliced cheese. The finish product? Had not enough time to take a shot of it as I was too busy with other preparation. And after azan call for maghrib prayer, it was all too late as the burger peacefully rest in her intestine. Atikah is most of the time creative with food, if she has the mood for cooking (which is very seldom).

Yes we had fried grouper@garoupa for break fast yesterday. It looks something similar to the one you can see on the left side. But, that's not the one that entered our digestion system. I got the photo from the internet. But, I never knew that it can be VERY big. Some facts about grouper@garoupa that I gather from the internet (Wikipedia). ==================================== The word "grouper" comes from the word for the fish, most widely believed to be from the Portuguese name, garoupa . The origin of this name in Portuguese is believed to be from an indigenous South American language. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In Australia, the name "groper" is used instead of "grouper" for several species, such as the Queensland groper ( Epinephelus lanceolatus ). In the Philippines , it is named lapu-lapu in Luzon , while in the Visayas and Mindanao it goes by the name pugapo . In New Zealand, "groper" refers ...

Aha! Cooking again. Alhamdulillah, I am finally cooking again in my home sweet home, in my newly uplift kitchen. Alhamdulillah again. Last Sunday(15th August 2010) was my first day doing a 'real' cooking for the family, especially for the berbuka. Since moving back into the house, there are so many things happened. Moved back-in in a flash, kenduri, I fell sick for almost 2 weeks (as usual, especially when I am very tired), went to Dungun for the Programming and Multimedia Competition, and followed by taking care of Sabrina who was admitted to a medical center. Fuhhh! What a hapenings. Sabrina was discharged on Friday (13th August), not enough time for cooking, Saturday, the cabinet team was busy installing the kitchen cabinet (stove off again...), only Sunday I started a 'real' cooking for the break fast. But, chicken black pepper wasn't the menu for Sunday (I forgot what I cooked that day, getting old already - hey! its my birthday today, memang da...
