Public holidays are things that I usually look forward to especially if they fall in the middle of the week. It offers a break from the long week of work; a welcome intermission to rest.
Recently we have been doing quite a lot of travelling; and during those travels we stopped at quite a few eating places for lunch. One of the dishes that we never missed to order was anything related to 'goreng mamak'.
Woohoo! The first day of the new school year is finally here! Wait a minute! Am I the only one excited about going back to school! Huhu! Do remember that there are many things that a teacher can look forward to when returning to school on a new year; one of the reasons is being able to meet up with friends and gossip after one and a half month of hiatus!
There are some things I make only during special occasions. Some I make only when there is a special request by someone, especially when you only get to see that certain someone once in a while,say every six months or so.
A few weekends ago I was literally left alone to my own resources at home. My missus had gone to Tanjung Malim with her sisters, nieces and nephews to attend her brother's wedding reception. And on the day that she was supposed to come home, I got a call from her asking me to cook something.
As I have mentioned in my earlier entries, I have been inundated with courses for the past eight weeks or so, so much so that the food I ate at all the venues have caught up with me in more ways than one. Firstly, there is my increase waistline and secondly, there is that slight distaste for any dish that resembles hotel food. In short, I miss simple, home prepared food.
My wife had made a batch of currypuffs the other day and she purposely made the filling more than the pastry because one of our family members really love to snack on the curry filling. However, she made the filling a little bit too much because that family member of ours decided she had had too much of the filling to snack on.
