Upside Down Pizza

Mula2, malas sangat nak baking yesterday. Aku puasa ganti, so hajat hati, nak la jugak puasakan oven sekali. Pastu, tiba-tiba, Ju menggoda aku dengan suggestion to bake the upside down pizza. Kebetulan, dalam peti ada leftover bolognese sauce from Iffah's birthday party. Aku pun, terus la masuk dapur. Fifteen minutes later, Upside Down Pizza aku dah masuk dalam oven. *sigh*...

I had a good rest yesterday. With hubby in the east coast, the girls kat rumah K.Mei, I managed to catch some sleep. Aku keluar pun kejap je tengahari semalam, because nak bawak adik aku, Ayu, pegi klinik. Dia demam panas over the weekend, baru semalam nak pegi klinik. Tu pun sebab nak kena ambik MC.

Iman and Iffah went out the whole afternoon dengan K.Mei, pegi shopping with their Nena. Pukul 3pm baru K.Mei called for me to pick up the girls. Tapi aku keluar lepas asar sebab letih sangat. Bila exercise on hari yang berpuasa, badan rasa extra penat. And yesterday I did lower body exercises. Dahaga nya, Allah je la yang tahu.

I made a mistake of going out lepas asar. Dah tak pasal2 stuck dalam jam, caught in the rush hour traffic. Dah la area Bangsar tu, kalau jam, sangat la teruk. Luckily tak lama jam. Sampai rumah, dah nak dekat berbuka. Lepas berbuka, aku keluar dengan cousin aku, Wan, pegi makan kat Pak Kopitiam. I took protein during berbuka, so masa makan kat Pak Kopitiam, I couldnt finish my food. huhuhuhu.. sedih betul..

Balik rumah last nite, dah pukul 11pm. Iman and Iffah both tak tido lagi. They went out earlier with mak Shariff to buy me and hubby our anniversary present. Anniversary kita orang yg ke 12 will be this coming 30th July. Thank you Kakak and Adik for the gift! Sanggup simpan duit sekolah everyday just to belikan mama and abah hadiah.

  7. Question: "item 7....Whisk in flour and salt until well blended. Pour mixture over sauce in pan.". Doh ni texture dia soft ke? or macam doh pizza yang selalu kita buat. I tak berapa boleh nak imagine almaklum laaa..jarang2 masak.
