blueberry cheese tart

Dah lama nak update blog yang dah semakin berabuk ni.. Baru la boleh buat dengan jayanya. Reason being is the adaptor gave way. And i can only go online when my little sister is home. Yesterday, dad went to Lowyat to buy new laptops for his company. I got him to buy me a new adaptor. Syukuur. So yes.. kita teruskan??

Hari tu teringin nak makan blueberry cheese tart. So, i searched for the recipe, and found this. I persuaded husband to take me to G*iant to get the ingredients and there you go. I spent the whole of saturday morning making blueberry cheese tart. Alhamdulillah, it turned out well. Husband and all the others loved it. I managed to take some to the office for my staff. Its very easy to make. Eventhough i have never baked any tarts/pies before, but i watch alot of baking and cooking programmes especially on AFC. And thus. I rasa nak tepek pulak recipe tu. Tapi, it's not my recipe ya.. Here goes:

Pastry Dough
125gm Unsalted butter (cut in cubes)
40gm Icing sugar
1 egg (medium and beaten)
220g plain flour
1/2 tsp Vanilla essence

To prepare;
a) Add in all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix and blend until a smooth dough is formed. *u may use your hands or you may use a food processor/mixer.
b) Put the dough in a cling wrap and let to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
c) Roll out pastry, cut out circles to fit tart mould. *I just pressed the dough into the tart moulds.
d) Prick the base with a fork
d) Bake in oven for 8-10mins at 175deg C.

Filling
250gm Cream Cheese (I used spreadable cream cheese)
3/4 cup Icing Sugar
1 egg (medium and beaten)
1/2 cup Whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla essence
Blueberry filling

Note: You may want to half the filling ingredients or double the pastry dough ingredients because the pastry dough requires more or less 1/2 of the cream cheese filling.

To prepare;
a) Beat cream cheese and beaten egg until well incorporated
b) Add in vanilla essence, sugar and whipping cream. beat until creamy and well blended.
c) Spoon/pipe the mixture into the pre-baked tart shells.
d) Add in the blueberry filling. use a satay skewer/wooden tooth pick to swirl it to create marble effect.
e) Bake tart in oven for 15 mins at 175 deg. C. Remove from the oven to cool a while before serving

New Ride...

... Not ours, but Hamza's

Heh.. We've been searching for the perfect stroller for our little guy eversince i was pregnant. Well, basically we wanted something that could be used for a few years at least. We surveyed high and low for the right one. We even thought of buying it in the UK, since they are alot cheaper there. From day 1, i've always wanted a good one. In other words, i didnt really mind the price. As long as it is within our affordability. We went to this shop in One Utama, Planet Enfante, and saw the Peg Perego, Pliko P3 Travel System. Husband liked it immediately. I liked it too.. But, somehow we were contemplating whether to buy a travel system or to buy just the stroller. In my opinion, we do not use strollers like in the Uk for example. We travel alot by car. So, the strollers will only be used at the malls, and parks. *we dont push our child everywhere do we?? hehehe.. Apart from that, we'll have to invest in carseats later when the child has outgrow his baby carrier. So, we finally decided to make do with a baby sling/carrier and a stroller that can be used from Newborn right up till his big enough to walk on his own.

So, there goes the Pliko P3 Travel system, even we had to pass on its sibling, Mamas and Papas. We bought husband a Chicco baby sling for 15GBP, and it was good enough.. Now that my little one weighs 5kg or even more, his baba thinks that it is time to get him his own ride. *baba xdaya nak carry lama-lama. Sakit belakang? huhu. So yeah, we went high and low looking for the right stroller that suits mine and husband's taste. I've always liked strollers from Mclaren. But i thought, XT was a tad bit too expensive. so, yeah.. we looked around, and we went into the Planet Enfante shop again, and husband spotted the stroller of our dream.

...Peg Perego Si...



Hamza, his new ride and his mobile..

We both loved it immediately, and decided to buy it for Hamza. It is suitable for newborn, it can be reclined, and it looked HOT as well, and its just not common just yet. hahaha. Since we've bought Hamza a car seat, the stroller is just perfect. :) It is lightweight. Not too bulky, and easy to fold. So its all good. Alhamdulillah. Murah rezeki anak. So, yeah.. Now, we are happy to take him out to the mall. Hehehe. We even bought him a pram mobile from playgro. For the price we paid, we are very satisfied and happy

still sakit hati

YES! AKU MASIH SAKIT HATI YANG TERAMAT SANGAT!!!

I tried to find someone who could swap with me. She gave me a YES.. at first. and then suddenly she changed her mind. Effing shit!! It is either i dont show up for my shift, which i believe i'll be screamed at by my bosses. Or bargain cuti ujung taun ni, nama aku dikeluarkan. I couldnt believe that my boss wouldnt do anything about it! Damn Her and her!! I am so freaking frustrated with the way we are being managed.

I am on leave for a month... Yes, it feels so good to stay home with this little Simba. At least i get to breastfeed him throughout the day. And i know he's a happy boy. The only thing that worries me is this little simba refuse to be put to sleep. He wants to sleep on me. Looks like i have to be strict about his nap- time and bed time. Hep! anak mama ni..

Tupper-news

(1) Microwaveable Rice Cooker & (2) Rice Dispenser

Baru-baru ni, pegi Tupperware. Membeli perkara-perkara yang dikirim oleh kawan-kawan ku. Bila ke Tupperware, xsah la kalau xbeli untuk diri sendiri kan? Since we'll be moving into our own house soon, i decided to buy a microwaveable rice cooker for our house. *kitorang masak nasi dalam microwave. I let my mother use it instead. So, here are the good things about the Tupperware microwaveable Rice Cooker.

1. It is microwaveable. *definitely la kan. But that is the most important fact.
2. It can cook 3cup (3pot) of rice without/minimal spillage (usually on the lid only)
3. It is easy to use. No hassle.
4. Cooking time, average 15 mins. Ye, kami masak nasi 15 minit shj
   
5. It has a lifetime warranty. *terms and conditions apply

The offer is open until 7/11. Since it is a limited release item i am not sure if it will be available next month or after. As for now, it comes free with a tupperware rice scoop. I use it especially when i want to make nasi goreng or when there's only 4 /5 people in the house. Kadang-kadang terkurang masak nasi, so this rice cooker is the best solution. Kalau nak tau lebih, boleh check disini or msg me.

sekian, berita tupperware dari saya.

Senang Hati kerana...

...Saya sudah nappy change, and i am a happy boy!!!

Hamza and his playgym

Yes. I have mentioned earlier that Hamza has a playgym. We bought it at Toys R us warehouse sale and Hamza loves it. at least thats what we think. huhuhu.. We wanted something that could stimulate him to focus (his eyes), grab and kick. as well as to listen to th sounds. It is never too soon to start, right?? Btw, a FP playgym would cost us a few hundred ringgit. Not cheap i tell you. So, we think, this is good enough. It's colourful, and adequate for this little precious of ours. hehehehe. Enjoy!!

All excited in his new Playgym.

mummy.. i think i am done playing.. :)

till then. :)
