SAUCE: BLACK PEPPER



MY THOUGHTS
  I feel rather sad for what has happened at the office. I cannot simply blame anyone for this. The sicko is simply sick while the victim...the victim will definitely be in trauma for quite sometime. 

  One thing I know, life must go on. Things like this should not pull down my spirit but one thing for sure my spirit is no longer for the department. I am tired...I want to look into my own development rather than others. I need to move on. People get what they dream for. I am a human too. I too have a dream and I am going to make sure that it will come my way. 

God, please help me make my dream comes true. 

THE INGREDIENTS
  Still have technical problem. I cannot attach the photo.

Pot (heat it)

Cooking oil (About two tablespoons.)

One Onion (medium-sized. Cut it into cubes. Put it into the pot and stir it until limb.)

Chilli Boh (You need only one tablespoon. Stir it well. Make sure it is properly fried.)

Two tomatoes (cut them into cubes. Small cubes. Once the chilli is ready, pour them in.)


Black pepper (I prefer to have them pound. You need one mount full teaspoon. Pour it into the hot mixture.)


Vegetable broth (a bowl of it)

Corn Flour (one tablespoon. Mix it well with the broth and then pour it into the hot mixture.)

Soya Sauce (If it straights from the bottle, as the hole is rather small, 15 dashes)


Ayah loves the sauce. He thought I bought it from the supermarket. Cheh...I can cook!


Pumpkin: Baked with Custard

 
 
MY THOUGHTS
 I have not been cooking for quite sometime now due to perhaps laziness and complacency. Two days ago, I was going back memory lane, thinking about how my own mother was behaving during my confinement periods. If I am to go on being lazy and expecting everything to be done by my maid (she might be gone at the end of this year though), I might turn out to be just like my mother...whom my daughter calls 'Princess'.

Therefore, whoever is following this blog of mine, you can expect a frequent updating from me....I am praying hard to God now...please God, do get rid this lazy attitude of mine and replace it with an outstanding energy which will not only drive me to carry out my household chores as I used to but also to achieve the dream that I have set for.

THE INGREDIENTS
  Long and I tried to make Baked Custard Pumpkin but, unfortunately, I got a bit baffled with the ingredients. Now I understand why people usually lay out the ingredients first before they start cooking. I thought I was an expert. Apparently, not. Instead of using custard, I added in Corn Flour...Nonetheless, my hubby likes it. Thank God.

(picture will be attached later. technical problem)

1 pumpkin (cut the top part to make in which will be used as the cover. Clean out the seeds. Remember to was the pumpkin thoroughly inside and outside but not with soap. Darling sons, you know what I mean yeah. Scoop out a bit of the pumpkin flesh in which you need to cut them up into small pieces.)

Fresh Milk (the amount of milk depending on the size of the pumpkin in which it should 1/4 less. Pour the milk into a baking bowl.)

Eggs (For half of Ayah's centung milk,  I used three eggs. The centung is actually referring to Ayah's favourite drinking cup that I abhor. It is the Indian aluminum cup.)

Sugar (I put in four scoop of sugar. The tool that I use to scoop is the formula scoop....baby scoop.)

Custard /Corn Flour (The mistake that I made was to put in the Corn Flour, In actual fact, it should have been custard, I believe it would be sweeter but Ayah likes it. Surprise! Surprise!)

Aluminum Foil (to make it easier for you to take out the pumpkin, use this to make a basket in which you place your pumpkin in. The basket should have handles. Thus, you need quite a big piece of foil.)

Fresh milk, eggs, sugar, custard / corn flour and pieces of pumpkin are mixed in the bowl thoroughly. Then pour the mixture into the pumpkin. Steam it for 45 minutes.
