Ayra

Today, we officially launched  ayratm cosmeceutic range. The choice of the name was done after much deliberation by Hubby & I. Yelah kan, when the princesses are old enough to understand, nanti diorang ingat pilih kasih le pulak...:-). One of the reasons we chose the name was because it's simple & Adik pulak mmg jenis suka melawa. Kalau lepas mandi, Cik jun akan siapkan dia & sanggul rambut dia, nanti her favourite phrase is " Adik suka cantik.." So, we decided on her name for the cosmeceutic range. Kalau ada rezeki may be we'll use Alysa & Adalia in other ranges..:-). This is considered an advance birthday present for her where she'll turn 4 y.o on 13 November 2010. The range will expand soon, insyaAllah.

Masih Mood Raya

 Hubby tiap2 malam ada jemputan open house. Normally, open house kat taman we all ni. Kalau weekend baru kitaorang pegi 1 family. Yesterday ada buat open house kat Bertam Perdana. Meriah betul! Macam2 stalls which served different kind of food eg. murtabak, satay, cendol, roti jala, mee goreng, lemang ketupat, laksa, mee kuah, rojak etc. Sampaikan tak termakan semua tu.. Kalau try gak semua stalls tu maunya pecah perut kekenyangan. I really love the murtabak Sg Dua tu. Tak menang tangan dia menggoreng murtabak tu.
 Hari ni lak Zuraida wat open house tp wat kat Damiral's Grill coz bibik dia tak de. So, tak leh le wat kat rumah dia, nnt tak de org nak mengemas..:-) So, this year tak de kambing golek as usual. But, the food prepared by Ely as usual mmg sedap. Hubby 7 I je yang beriye makan. Tp the princesses jamah sikit2 je.
 Bebaru ni masa Sumai & Liza beraya kat rumah I, sempat le prepare bihun soto & puding suji. Puding Suji ni resepi Ila. Normally dia wat kat dlm loyang. Tp I letak kat bekas2 kecik. Senang nak hidang.

Raya Sakan

 Raya tahun ni mmg jalan sakan. The 1st week of raya kitaorang raya Kedah & Penang. Masuk 2nd week kitaorang raya Johor , NS & KL. Sampai bengkak2 kaki I bcoz of the long distance travelling & asyik duduk dalam keta je.
 But it was fun meeting with family & friends. Kitaorang sempat buat mini x-perth gathering in Sg Petani & Kajang. Dapat le jumpa kawan2 yang dah berubah shapes & sizes..haha..Theme kat Sg Petani was western food. Thanks Liza for the yummy spread. Sempat lagi tu masak macam2 dengan bukak klinik lagi pagi tu. Kat rumah Kanan @ Kajang pulak masakan malaysia.. Tp kitaorang mmg pulun the marvelous mee kuah prepared by Zuha. Alysa siap bertambah sambil memuji masakan auntie Zuha.
 The 1st day raya kitaorang jln kat area kg tu je. Tu pun semua rumah served heavy food eg bihun sup, soto, nasi tomato, bihun goreng, bihun soto etc besides the usual raya spread like ketupat & kuih muih. Kat rumah mak cik konsyah mmg compulsary dia served tapai pulut utk kitaorg..
 Masa kat Batu Pahat lak, 1st time I pegi beraya kat sedara- mara sebelah MIL. Selalunya beraya dekat rmh sedara2 area rmh MIL, mostly sedara sebelah arwah FIL. Kat Parit Warijo ni ( sedara sebelah MIL ) mmg neat & cantik je rumah2 kat situ. Diorang siap ada pertandingan laman tercantik. Tapi since banyak rumah nak kena pegi, we only spent around 10 to 15 mins in each house.

Separuh dari family di Jitra. Both abang , bang cik & their families masing2 beraya di Beijing & Jelai.

Alysa's 1st attempt at fasting

 Now ni sume orang mesti tgh sibuk buat kuih raya. Yang tak buat sendiri, mesti dok buat kuih tunjuk2..:-) I haven't really finished my Raya shopping. But, everything's ready for the princesses except for their baju kurung which are to be collected tomorow. They even had their new bracelets. Mahal mak oi..gold now ni. The price almost tripled from the one we bought for Alysa 5 years ago which was of about the same weight. I'm not really into jewelleries. Tapi dah ada anak2 dara ni kena le bagi gak sorang satu as penyeri..chewah!
 Today konon2nya Alysa nak belajar puasa. Dah nak raya baru nak puasa..:D So, last nite she refused her usual bottle before going to sleep. She requested a glass of milk instead. Pagi tadi I kejutkan dia for sahur. Since she doesn't like rice, I offered to make her toasts. Orang tak pernah sahur, so mmg slow je la nak makan. At last, she said she'd eat in the morning. Lepas explained that she couldn't eat in the morning, she finished off a bottle of milk.
 Pagi tadi masa I siap nak pegi keja at after 10am, I tgk dia tgh minum susu. Cik Jun buatkan coz dia tak tau Alysa puasa. So, on & off le puasa dia today..hehe..Masa lunch ( according to Cik Jun ), memula dia tak nak makan. Then, tak tahan godaan Adik & Baby, dia p le nganga mulut suruh Cik Jun suapkan! Lepas lunch dia bagitau Cik Jun, Mama suruh puasa..So, resume puasa balik..hikhik..
 Yesterday I dah start mengukis. Managed to do 2 cookies. Biskut Bunga Cina & Biskut Badam rangup. Senang le buat. May be I'll do 2 or 3 more cookies.

Biskut Badam Rangup

Bahan-bahan:
150 g mentega
100 g gula aising
1 biji telur gred A (berat kurang lebih 60 g sebiji)
1/2 camca teh esen vanilla
100 g tepung gandum*
100 g tepung kastard*
75 g tepung jagung (cornstarch)*(*disatukan dan diayak)
50 g serbuk badam
50 g tepung gandum (extra)

Untuk Hiasan:
1 kuning telur
Badam cincang secukupnya

Cara:
1. Pukul mentega dan gula aising hingga berkrim. Masukkan telur dan esen vanilla. Terus memukul hingga gebu.
2. Sementara itu gaul serbuk badam bersama tepung yang telah diayak, kemudian masukkan tepung tadi sedikit demi sedikit ke dalam adunan mentega, gunakan speed perlahan. Jika adunan kelihatan terlalu lembik, masukkan sedikit lagi tepung (50 g, extra), hingga adunan tidak melekit. (Biar kan sekejap adunan...)
3. Ambil 1/3 doh tadi dan canai 1/2 cm tebal, terap dengan acuan kegemaran dan susun atas dulang pembakar, sapu kuning telur dan tabur badam cincang, tekan sedikit supaya badam melekat. Bakar dalam oven yang telah dipanaskan pada suhu 175C selama 15 - 20 minit. Sejukkan atas jaringan sebelum disimpan dalam bekas kedap udara...

Note: Mmg senang nak buat & sedap. Adik suka. Thanks CMG  for sharing.
