Baby sitting lagi

Ari ni hari kedua baby sitting, yesterday evening, Shakir, Iffa's eldest boy fell down at my backyard and injured his knee quite badly. Got a rather deep laceration wound of about 3 cm in length and 0.8 cm in depth. Dalam tu..luckily I kept some bandage at home and managed to stop the bleeding by bandaging. Pakkal jer tak de jarum, local anasthesia and catgut, kalu tak Mama jahit je sendiri. Told Saiful to bring Shakir to Children's Hospital for suturing. Today he came at 11 am with a smile telling us that he received 6 sutures on his knee. Nasib baik bukan kat muka.

Menu ari ni breakfast mee goreng mamak jer...pas tu buat koleh kacang but without taik minyak sebab tak de santan kelapa ori, kalu tak ori tak jadi taik minyak dia, dah test dah.. Pas buat koleh kacang, sat with Aiman, drilling and grilling him for his SAT exam which is due on the 12th May 2009. By 12 noon, perut dah main muzik balik sebab ari nih hujan satu hari, so tersangatlah sejuknya.

Lunch, rice with labu air masak air with su hun, daging masak sambal with a tinge of kicap and telur goreng.

Dinner, made garlic Naan with lamb jalfrezi. As usual helped by Madeehah and Maisarah. Used Patak's Jalfrezi, sedap jugak. Actually rempah Jalfrezi ni boleh buat sendiri..saja jer try Patak punya as a bench mark, to make sure yg home made punya is of the same taste.

Madeehah sibuk mencanai Naan, kalau Tok Bak tengok ni he will say hey..tak makan la Tok Bak....Amir tengah santap burger yg dia goreng sendiri. My kids are all very independent I tell you...dah pandai goreng roti canai and burger sendiri Mr Amir kita ni...but supervised of course.

Maisarah applying some butter on the naan before putting them into the oven.

Naan, after 15-20 min of baking.

Garlic naan served with lamb Jalfrezi, lamb pun dah naik harga nak masuk summer ni..dulu 2.20 jer sekilo (kalau beli half sheep), now ni dah 3.50 sekilo. Half sheep beli last week cost me 40 pounds. Biasanya around 30 jer..hopefully tahan sebulan tu.
