Firstly, I would like to announce that 'Ely's Recipe Book' is up!
I have been bookmarking most of my recipes on my pc. Everytime when I felt like cooking something nice, I had to track down which computer I bookmarked the recipes. If you came to my house, you might also see recipes stuck on the kitchen cabinet doors! So I thought this blog would be helpful for myself and my friends. I'd love to share the simple ideas of cooking, and that cooking is really not hard to do. Like Yan says,'If Yan can cook, so can you!'. Just like when I cook beryani and friends say that beryani is so hard to cook, which honestly is not. Roti jala is also a breeze to make (my daughter's favorite thing to do!).
So Kak Teh, how about that 'Ayam Golek' recipe? Or Nazrah's Steak? I am sure AuntyN has some to share with us?
If you would like to share some recipes, please do email me and I shall put your name at the bottom of the recipe, pictures are not necessary tapi kalau ada lagi bagus! Experimental recipes are also welcome...but it has to be proven a succes tau. Kalau tak jadi, practice sampai jadi hehehe.
We can also give each other cooking tips. And ask among ourselves how come kek baulu tuh terbantut ker, nagasari tak kenyal lah, etc etc.
So let's main masak masak!

So here's my journal for the day...
I am the google-eyed lady today sitting up front at the office looking like Cikgu Bedah in the movie Anak Manja. My eye is still irritated but not as bad as when I had my contacts on, At least nothing in my eye to irritated the ketumbit (or tembel) in my eye. Nope, I have not become a bug eyed lady yet. Still a teeny bit swollen but you won't see it unless I tell u. So I put eyeshadow under my eyes but stopped somewhere in the center. Go imagine that…'the freeway stops here' hahaha…that’s what I've been telling myself!
Remember I promised to post a long blog? Forget it, I couldn’t get to finish it cos its too long! So lets forget about it as Ely has something else to talk about.
So my dad called yesterday (yes Pak, I am talking about you now!), he said that mak and him are coming either on the 15th or 18th of July. Coolies! At least I have a date to give my parents the surprise. Errr, what surprise? To book 2 nights stay in the city.
Coincidentally, my parents are buying promotional tickets and the catch...they need to have a hotel voucher showing that they will be staying at a hotel or they will not qualify for the promotion. Ok yeah so I told bapak,'Alamak orang baru nak surprise kan you all, habih lah tak payah nak surprise lagi!'. Bapak told me that he would so much love to bring the kids to the hotel for the 2 nights stay. Yerlah, tak kisah lah, at least that will give David and I some down time.
I know that grandparents always come to visit their grandkids and their kids are in the back burner. Tak kisahlah, I know that my parents do not love me any less. They just love the kids more! As long as I get to see my parents, I dah cukup bersyukur!
Time is flying fast today. Lots of happening at the office but we still have not found the milk thief!!!

Ely, recipe non-Malay boleh tak? Best juga, you are compiling Malay food recipes. Boleh juga I take a look and try. Also, you may want to consider sharing at allrecipes.com [if you don't already know about it] - the recipes there are rated by users, with feedback and nutritional info. They also have shopping list, bookmarks and photo upload. Membership is free. I'm sure your Asian food recipes there will be welcomed and praised! But I'm just suggesting - doesn't mean you gotta do it ;)
Hey, that's so nice of you to get your parents the "surprise" *hehehee* Dah tak surprise lagi, ha... :D
Sounds like the milk carton had legs and decided to walk out of the fridge. *teehee*
ely, you want the ayam golek resipi and pix as well as the sardine rolls - you can get it fr my blog lah.
Ely, let me know what recipe you want for me to contribute. I will try. I have thought of doing this as well so that my girls will be able to get the recipe at a click of a mouse. Insyaallah will do even just for private circulation.
can't agree with you more on how grandparents are like with their grandchildren. they could get away with murder!
maybe will contribute some recipes like : ikan goreng, keropok goreng, ayam goreng!
heheh! not much of a cook lah me!!
Dearest Ely...
first of all about the recipes. I'm not very domesticated so how about if you could directly cook me some recipes....
just trying my luck, yours innocently, susan
And dearest Ely,
Second of all. No, your parents don't love you any the less. Not all at. In fact, you have given them a compliment for their hearts. Because their grandchildren show your parents what a good job they did with family!
Hi Massy c/o Ely,
I promised to post you the Atkins Bikini diet. Masih ada lagi tapi dah lupa! I'll do it tomorrow *love*

Anyway... it's great that you do it online that way we all can look at it and try it...
