Syameel The Knight


Made this Mike the knight cake for Aida's son, Syameel some time ago. I got to know her from a friend, kak Rozie who had introduced my cake to her. Those figurines caused me few sleep less nights. Hheheheh... Enjoy the pixs...

voila...it is a rainbow cake
 I was so excited when I make this cake. Actually she wanted a plain butter cake with chocolate cream. I did bake as per requested but my two boys had totally finished it before the cake has a chance to cool down. Feeling guilty towards her caused me the reason to bake this rainbow cake. Lucky her....

Baked potato with meat/poultry filling

Dah.. Stop being sad and useless for a while. Put aside this negative feeling coz God knows what is best for us.

...............


I long to share one of my favourite dish which was from my mom. She called it Baked Potato but I think it is more to a pie, Shepherd pie may be.


Filling
(actually I don't have any specific recipe for the filling. I just use whatever stored in the frigde) 
Ayam/Beef  ( dipotong dadu atau minced)- kekadang saya guna jer leftovers
Mixed veggie (carrot, pea, corn)
Celery  (dipotong dadu)
Onions
Garlics
Curry powder 
Salt

Masak mengikut citarasa sendiri atau seperti inti karipap. Pendek kata.. IKUT SUKA HATI.....


Topping (mashed potato)

3-6 Potatoes (boil and mash)
1 egg
1/2 cup milk/cream
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt and blackpepper

Once the mashed potato cold, add in egg. 
Then pour in the milk little by little and beat until fluffy. Finally the flour. No need to use hand mixer just a wooden spatula will do.
Strain the mixture to avoid a lumpy texture (kalau rajin la.., if not, make use the blender.. senang cerita)
Add salt and black pepper to taste.

Methods:
1. Preheat oven to 180C
2. Slightly grease the baking pan with butter.
3. Pour half of the mashed potato into the baking pan.
4. Then pour all the meat filling on top of the mashed potato.
5. Lastly cover the meat filling with the mashed potato remain.
6. For a nice appearance garnish the top layer with egg or milk.

Tip: Nak lagi sedap, spread some cheese in between the layers.... yummy..yummy..

Semangat yang hilang..

 (this isn't Coles promotion..kay)
 
Pernah tak rasa DOWN (bukan sindrom down tu yer)... yang amat sangat..?

It has been sooo longgg since I got this kinda of mixed feeling. Lama dah.. but clueless, truly I am.
Makin lama simpan makin parah.. tapi tak buat apa-apa pun, just hanging on the air. Macam teratai..
naik ke atas tak sampai ke langit, turun ke bawah tak sampai ke dasar..

Conclusion : Bersabar and pray to Him for a better tomorrow..
