test blogging via phone.... golden herbs

herbs was use as precious trading tools a long time ago. if I hadnt almost failed my sejarah, I would have more to say about significance of herbs during ancient history. But, nonetheless herbs are like jewels in my kitchen. On display with its full glory in coloring my cuisine with delicate, or major strong head on taste. But the most interesting herb I recently discovered and using not so generously for reasons I shall tell u shortly, is saffron. Apa nama melayu dia..ya? The taste on its own is... Nothing. I put it in a cup of hot water to test it out. Maybe it does taste slightly payau after a while. But that was it. So, yhen I incorporate it in its typical use for making nasi biryani. I omitted the rose water, yoghurt, evaporated milk and even the curry based, just to find out what this saffron tastes like. Much to my surprise, my nasi tastes rich, full bodied although a lot of ingredients were omitted. I can't detect other taste except that the rice tasted better than usual.
And the saffron price tag is......
Rm20,000 per kilo.
I bought it at rm10 for 0.5gm.
One flower yields 3 thin strands of reddish orange saffron. I would like to.plant one.of.my one.

Is it worth it?
I would say, yes.

Jadual Kerja Seorang Mummy

Saya tgh emo....

Selalu saya bangun pagi2, mandi, clear dapor, basoh apa paatut, terus kemas rumah, tgk garden buat apa patot... then prepare breakfast bila bebudak dah bangun. Kemudian saya prepare apa nak masak for lunch, monitor budak2 mandi....main pirate ship, main fishing. Dah mandi... saya pergi bersilat kat dapor...

Sambil masak, sous chef saya akan bertanya 1001 soklan..... dgn membantu menyepahkan dapoq supaya lebih mencabar skill kemas n masak saya. Saya rasa anak2 saya mmg terror bab mengenal jenis bawang & sayor. Mungkin juga akan pandai masak di umur 5 tahun.

Saya suka masak sambil mengemas terus. Dah brapa kali masakan saya hampir hangus. Tapi still saya tak leh tahan melihat kulit bawang, batang sayor dlm sink... pinggan kotor..... mesti nak clear. Padahal ikan dlm minyak hangat dak panggei bomba....

Pas tu saya layan budak main kat garden rumah jap..... Sambil tu, baju kering kena angkat. Baju baru basoh kena sidai. Agak2 time lunch.... maka makan ramai kat dapor....
Sofea makan nasi kena tunggu 2 jam. Sampai kering kuah... nasi pon tak rupa nasi lagi. Saya tak suap anak2 saya lagi.... Saya mahu depa berdikari...... Jadi saya tunggu dgn rasa penoh 'kelembutan'.

Then, masa utk TV, ABC, bergadoh, menangis. Dah letih bebudak bergasak.... tiba masa utk tido....

Kadang saya pon tido. Kadang2 saya con't with my work on the laptop. Sambil tu, con't lipat baju.

Sedar2 dah pukol 6pm. Laki saya dah balik. Lega rasa.

Di antara waktu2 terluang, saya akan jenguk laptop saya.... sebab itu saya mampu berFB sambil masak.
Giler kan....

Seingat saya, masa kerja di opis.... Masa kadang2 bergerak lambat..... Dah habis ofis hour, kita bergelumang sejam dua di dalam jam pula. Masa terbuang gitu ajer.

Harap saya dapat adapt berkerja di opis kembali dgn penuh jaya.

Update yang tak updated.....

Tiap kali waktu mlm nak tidor, mesti aku dah draft karangan dlm pala... apa nak luah yg terbuku dlm hati, jiwa kat blog aku.... But, akibat byk bende nak ku buat.... maka satu menda pon tak terbuat. But, antara misi 2012 aku is.... nak kerja balik. Anak2 dah nak masok tadika.... Nanti aku melangut kat rumah, sedih pilu sorang2 plak..... Pastu, nnt tertambah adik plak.... So, baik aku cari kerja dekat umah aku nih.... Isi masa terluang.... Kerja makeup2 ni, usually weekend.

Kemudian... aku look forward nak berjalan jaoh.... Maybe France or Rio...... mari la kita kumpoi info & duit utk berjalan.... Kalo ada terjumpa flight murah ke sana, habaq mai kat Lin yer....

Aku sebenarnya sayu.... how my kids will be kat tadika... ada sapa peduli depa makan abis ke tak.... kena buli ke tak.... ada rasa kena pulau ke tak.... you know how it is when we were little..... friendship is everything..... Will they find good frens? Will they be good friends too?
