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.

Tag by Citra

I'm honoured when Citra dropped by and told me that I've been tagged. I've always love Citra's blog because of the simple and yummylicious dish that she featured. It's fool proof too! And through Citra, I found Pide! Been in love with Pide ever since :)

Here goes.. I copy this from Citra's..

This tag is all about your own stuff. I think it's a great idea to highlight some long forgotten posts or some lonely, neglected, uncommented recipe ... especially during one's early days of blogging. I'm happy to be tagged by Citra to take part in this 7 - Link Challenge. That's 7 of your own posts in relation to the categories and then to nominate 5 victims bloggers to join in. No extra cooking or baking required. (I'll tag my food blogger friends). 

2 simple rules:

1) publish links for the categories below (1 link per category)

2) nominate up to 5 bloggers to take part.

1. The most beautiful post:

Wow! This is hard.. Let me think..  It will be the Kek Batik Jawa. The memory of one of the earliest cooking classes that I attended with mok. Dulu, masa aku still kat PPP/ITM, mok selalu pegi kelas memasak. And aku la yang jadi mangsa kena temankan dia. Mok tulis in classic melayu rumi. Maka, aku la yang jadi tukang dengar, tukang tulis, tukang explain to mok. And because of those cooking classes too, aku jadi hook on cooking. Thank you mok. I heart you. 

2. The most popular post :

With almost 20,000 hit from Kongsiresepi.com, I'd say Buttermilk Pancake post is the most popular post. And it's a hit with the girls too. They love this pancake and their classmates adore it. Siap berebut among them bila bawak pegi sekolah.

3. The most controversial post. 

Why is  Lompat Tikam post so controversial? Actually, takde la controversial sangat. Cuma it's more of sakit hati when someone made a comment about the possibility that aku bagi recipe salah sebab taknak orang buat lompat tikam menjadi. I was like... WT... you can read it here. 

4. The most helpful post

I'd say, this Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread Step by Step is the most helpful. I actually took the time to take photos with the help of Iffah because many bloggers thought I weaved the bread to make it look like that. It's a beautiful bread :)

5. The post that was suprisingly successful

Alamak!! What post?? Haiyo! Wait! Lemme think.. It has to be the Upside Down Pizza. I wasnt planning on baking that day. But Ju made a suggestion for me to bake this pizza. It took me 15 minutes to prepare this and voila! It was ready in less than 1 hour. Suprisingly, it's also in the top 10 post. LOL.. 

6. The post that did not get the attention it deserved

I made this Banana Cake many many times over the years. I did post the photo aeons ago but of course it didnt get any attention it deserved. I'm telling you, the recipe is a keeper. Once you taste the banana cake, you wouldnt want any other banana cake. Tak caya? Cuba la buat :P

7. The post that I'm most proud of

It's beautiful, it's breathtaking and it's perfect!! Iman and Iffah were very excited with the cake. I was estatic with the result too. It's one of the most talked about cake in the bloggersphere, The Rainbow Cake.
