Books & Buns!

Aku rasa aku dah mabuk roti. Hari-hari rasa nak buat roti. Tomorrow I wanna make wholemeal buns but maybe letak inti lamb coz hubby loves anything kambing. Today I made some sausage buns for the girls's lunch boxes tomorrow. Now, baking in the oven are cuppies for Iman's birthday on Tuesday. The chocolate cake cuppies kena kept in the fridge for at least 1 day. So, kiranya ok la aku buat 2 days in advance.

I was super busy today. Pagi2 lagi aku dah bawak the girls including Zuleika (she sleptover here last nite coz her parents were busy) pegi swimming. Lepas swimming, aku terus pegi Bagus to buy some baking stuff. Then balik rumah, terus buat hotdog buns for the girls and Apple Crisp (I'll upload the photo tomorrow). Lepas Zohor, aku pegi ambik my cousin, Wan, kat rumah dia and terus ke Amcorp Mall.

Going to Amcorp Mall was a mistake coz it made me poorer by few hundred ringgit. No.. No.. I didnt buy any handbags or shoes! I bought books! lots of it kat BookXcess!! huhuhu.. Tengah mereka script ni nak bagitau hubby kejap lagi the damage done to his Maybank account. Me and books, ibarat mee siam with kuah, or laksa kuoh meroh with hubby, tak dapat dipisahkan. *sigh*..

Anyway, masa bayar parking kat Amcorp Mall tadi, Achi attendant parking tu bagitau, few minutes before aku bayar parking tu, bumbung kat booth bayar parking runtuh, kena another car yang tengah queue nak bayar parking. which resulted in the windscreen pecah berderai. Masa tu hujan lebat. Phew! alhamdulillah tak terjadi pada aku. Sayang weh nak tukar windscreen kete aku. Mau susah nak dapat original windscreen macam yang aku guna.

Lepas balik from Amcorp Mall, aku pegi ke PWTC pulak. Hajat hati nak singgah kat Pesta Buku. Nasib baik la takde parking, kalau tak, mau rabak lagi poket aku. Tapi, tadi my eldest sister called. Dia datang KL, ada rombongan budak2 sekolah dia from Kluang. She's coming with her son, Muaz. She wants to have lunch dengan aku esok.. Erm.. should I or should I not? Kang habis lagi few hundreds... :(

Now, back to my wholemeal buns. I used happyflour recipe still, but I tweak the recipe a bit.The result is a soft and delicious wholemeal buns! Lepas ni memang takmau dah beli wholemeal bread kat kedai mamak.

 I love the grainy looks :D

Nampak tak how beautiful the texture is?
