Masterchef..NOT!

I am not a great cook. Ok, i am not a cook..i seldom cook! That is why you won't find any cooking recipes or homecook pictures on my blog.Eventhough i love to eat i don't like to cook as much. I find cooking very tedious and too much hassle with all the preparations and tidy up all the mess after that is even worse. But......i do try to cook now and then simply because of my motherly/wifey instinct to provide homecook dish for my husband & children.  Usually i just cook up something simple and well-liked by all. I am not adventurous when come to coking, not the kind who cook up plenty of dishes or a complete course (appetizer,main dish, dessert). I respect those who capable of that..i envy you for your great effort!

I know most of you women especially married ones love to cook and try new dishes and recipes every now and then. I tried to be that woman as well but i gave up easily. Both my husband & son are fussy eater. They hardly accept or appreciate any creative dish. To make it even worse, my husband does not eat fish and avoid any seafood if possible. So i am left with chicken & eggs. My son still appreciates seafood so i do cook them for him occasionally. Family's favourite or i can safely claim, my best dishes are my nasi goreng, mi goreng, maggie goreng (not the instant ones ya!), spaghetti bolognese. See, only simple food, kacau gaul dah siap! hahaha..

Lately i have this cravings for Itallian food especially pasta. I only know how to cook bolognese. The cream ones i just use 'Prego in a can' and add some sliced hotdogs & mushrooms. After i ate Aglio Olio Spicy Seafood Spaghetti at Delicious cafe, i secretly wish i can cook like that. So recently i tried to cook it. Bought all the expensive herbs and also first time buying the expensive olive oil. Alas, my humble spicy seafood aglio olio menjadi but need a lil' bit improvement. The most important thing was that the whole family love it!

Lepas ni i want to dig more pasta recipes and try each one of them. Kalau tak, rugi olive oil and herbs yang masih banyak stock. Any good Itallian food recipes wanna share? Make sure it is simple and not too much hassle like most malay dishes! LOL!

From Delicious cafe. Very delicious!

From my kitchen. Picture not appetizing at all but it tastes good. Very spicy and very yummy!

Fat Mama! Pt.2

As promised from this post, here come part 2 of my body weight adventure. Ceh, cakap macam ada orang kisah sangat nak baca. Well, as you've known i successfully slim down my flabby body after my first born. Remarkable achievement and i was proud of myself. But i it was temporarily as i start to eat normally (makan banyak) and also because i was pregnant again.

During second pregnancy i was back to old weight. Mana taknya makan macam hantu raya! Again, i gained about 25kgs. After delivered my daughter i stucked around 88kgs. Unlike first born, this time i only lost 3kgs right after delivery. So i left with even more weight to shed off during confinement. Susah hati betul time tu! My belly still look pregnant and i couldn't even fit into my t-shirt. During 'pantang' period i memang control makan and weighing myself everyday. The first month i lost about 7kgs and i was happy with the progress. Another 1 month to go sure can lose atleast another 5kgs. Unfortunately it won't shed anymore, i was devastated! I was enticed by the newspaper ads about Jus Mate 5. Desperate at that time, i made decision to try it and my husband sponsored me (mahal tau!) because dia pun kesian tengok wife dia susah hati..hahaha! Habis 2 kotak, 2 minggu i only managed to lose another 5kgs. So if you do the math i weigh around 75kgs after that.

Now up to date, not so much different. I am still heavy, still far away from my old-slim-self. I am now around 70kgs. My goal is 65kg (even still fat but i look better with that weight). Masih pasang angan i will lose few kgs during puasa (amiinn!). Eventhough i am about the same weight before my slim down success, i feel that i look better now. Not sure la kalau i just syok sendiri but i do feel that i look better and fit into my clothes well now, compare to after delivered my first born. Maybe because of my confidence level or maybe because i don't give a damn about my body as much. My husband told me that, if i want to get pregnant again don't waste your effort to go on diet like last time. Betul jugak kan? Well, as long i am happy, healthy and my husband loves me..why let this body weight bothers me right? I am still fabulous by the way! Hahahahaha!

Below are some of my fat picture. Enjoy!

Big, fat, ugly & proud pregnant lady!
