Busy Monday!

This week, hubby is working morning shift. I woke up @ 7am, 15mins earlier than hubby, to prepare breakfast for him, butter toast bread with coffee. Simple! We always make it a point to have our breakfast together. Hubby always says "having his first meal with his beloved wife always makes his day and definitely is a blessing to him". HAHA! So mushy rite!

While hubby is @ work, I started to prepare the ingredients for Sambal Belacan paste (recipe here).Bought a large piece of belacan (shrimp paste) from Yuei mei,cut and mashed into pieces before pan fried it. In moments, my whole house was filled with the pungent smell of belacan and it can be extremely repulsive. It took me almost 2.5 hours (include preparation) to get the paste done. But unexpectedly, it came out great. Hubby tasted it and says is good too! Hooray!

Tonight's dinner & tmr packed lunch is spaghetti in tomatoes sauce and cheese. Is been a long time since we had spaghetti. Hubby requested this dish to be included in this week menu de.

After cooking, I boiled a pot of water and squeeze some limes in. Heard from Angel that limes are very useful to remove the oily smell. Very soon, the whole house is filled with Lime aroma instead of the pungent Belacan smell le. Thank you!

Now is already 1.30am. Going to dreamland now. Will have to wake up @ 6.45am to prepare breakfast for hubby.
