Monday Mayhem

I don’t know what I am feeling today. I am jaded, I am too numb, I have anxieties and worries. Azman has not been feeling well for 5 days already. Miki is super naughty and he bullies other kids at the babysitter’s. In fact he bullies me and his Dad too. At work I feel oppressed and underprivileged. I don’t have a permanent desk to sit at, and that makes me uneasy, I don’t know BECAUSE I AM NOT A NOMAD?

On the other hand my house renovation is doing great. Today they are working on my plaster ceilings of which the design I have chose to be very clean, modern and simple.

Thoughts of the house makes me happy. Thoughts of coming home to the singing Miki is also heartwarming.

If my feeling is a type of food I think it should be a rojak buah. Just like a plate of bursting flavor that makes you explode with the spiciness; cringe with the sourness and melt in its sweet splendor. One moment I want to burst out laughing the next I want to cry. But most of the time, I want to vomit blood.

Anyway, yesterday I made spaghetti and Azman finished off one whole serving. It was the first meal that he ate properly in days. As always I like to add lotsa vege in my cooking. I had some brinjal, red and yellow bell peppers that initially I wanted to mix the together in the pasta sauce but in the end I roasted them in the oven separately.

Tips on roasting chunky vegetables like this; for better flavor do not sprinkle the seasoning after you spread them on the tray. Instead, mix the olive oil, salt and pepper and your choice of herbs (yesterday I simply tossed Italian herbs mix) with the vegetables in a bowl before you throw them in the oven.

Mine is cooked a little on the soft side to suit Miki’s taste. Home cooked meal is always the best. The will power to get my butt up and start cooking is also the best. The best hidden treasure that can only be found lapan belas juta tahun sekali. hahahaha..
