Melamine Scandal Kills Pepero Day

Korean Beat Brings Us This

The Chosun Ilbo reports that Pepero Day sales at GS25 stores were down over 55% compared to last year, the worst Pepero Day in the company’s history. Sales at Family Mart were down a whopping 73.2%.
To be Honest the 20 or so packets of pepero I received and the unbelievable amount that was at my school. It really didn't look like my children were too worried.

" 'Mpignolata " Loaf with sausage from Agrigento

photos of Jean-Luc Moreau

For the feast of St. Martin around Agrigento is a specialty that we like a lot, the 'mpignolata which is also called' mpriulata or 'mmiscata (depending on the town of origin).


We known it thanks to our guests-friends Lillo, Teresa and Ilaria of Grotte, a small town in the province of Agrigento.

It is a soft bun stuffed with sausage, onion and black olives, and there is another version with spinach and olives.

This dish was originally made at home during the period in which they celebrated San Martino, but now can be found throughout the year.


I found the recipe, although there are several versions. I have not cooked by me, but I ate the 'mpignolate that our friends bring us directly from Grotte.

Ingredients:


1 Kg. of flour, 4 eggs, 50 gr. of yeast, 150 gr. of lard, sausage, black olives, onion, water or milk, oil, salt.

Recipe:
Pour the oil in the flour, mix well, add eggs, mix well, add enough salt, yeast, the lard dissolved and kneading it by adding little by little lukewarm water or milk. Mix well and allow to rise (the dough should be somewhat 'softer than the bread).

When the leavening will be reached, cut the dough into pieces of about 100-150 degrees; pave every piece with a rolling pin, making it take a rectangular shape and thin. Meanwhile in a pan cook the onion cut into slices in olive oil, to which you add the crumbled sausage. Put the sauce of sausage, onion and black olives fleshy and pitted on each rectangle of dough.

Wrap the dough over itself and then again in the shape of a spiral, put on an olives and place in hot oven. Cooking time: 30 minutes.

Now for vegetarians: with spinach.


Boil and then skip the spinach with olive oil in a pan, add the pitted black olives and season rectangles of pasta with this sauce, wrap the dough.


There are several versions in which you use minced beef, chunks of pecorino, Frittola pork, etc, to you the choice!

Eater.com does a nice thing

November 11

Given the economic hard times, Eater.com has declared a moratorium on its “Deathwatch” feature, in which it predicts restaurants that will fail.
Here in New York, that particular restaurant blog has become so influential that, so chefs and publicists tell me, Deathwatch can be a self-fulfilling prophecy, like when the popular 13-year-old girl declares that some other 13-year-old girl isn’t cool anymore.
Eater’s commenters are an unruly lot, and some have accused the people running the blog of wimping out. But I’ve always thought Deathwatch was unnecessarily mean and am glad to see the moratorium.

STRESSS!!!! He ask me to take this picture, but he does not want to smile... is he telling us something ?

He ask me to take this picture recently, but he does not want to smile... is he telling us something ?
two days ago,
he made great progress by moving around and stretching his legs and back. he even "tried" to eat more even if it was only one or two spoons. everyone was so happy to see improvements and gave hope that he will be out of the sick-house soon.
Yesterday and today,
he does not want to move, he keeps saying that we (me/mom/ aunt) do not listen and wait for his call when ever we move him. He focus on the points that he has pain and he cannot move. tell us he wants to walk to the toilet, but does not want to move his legs and when we "physically and verbally" push him, he will complain that we are over doing it and his not suppose to move. (this does this make any sense?)

even Bangsa auntie notice that he is not making any efforts to get well. but insist that he wants to go home, but how is he going to when he dint even want to sit-up. (we can get the ambulance to send him home, but then what? )
WHAT IS HAPPENING!!!!!
E+R=O.. i keep reminding myself that to focus on the positive side. i know that he is not himself and he of all time needs our help and support, & I must stay calm and find a way to get thought this as a family.

i when over to the Orthopaedic clinic to ask for advice from the Dr. that is suppose to take care of father, but the nurse advice me to ask from the WAD doctors in the morning...(not really a answer i want, but if that's what it takes then i must make sure it happens)
Then i when over to the psychiatric clinic to see if i can meet either Dr.Pang (refereed by Pow stew) and Datuk Dr. Abdul Aziz. but guess what???
Dr Pang is no longer in GH, and if i want to speak to Datuk Dr, Abdul Aziz, i must ask Mr Mehran to call him and arrange a meeting. sooooo i did not get to see any of them. but then the staff there was nice enough to ask me to refer to the psychiatrist that seeing him last time, it was Dr Chong.. guess i will make the time tomorrow to find him.

people on my wanted list; Dr. Azizah Dr. Chong

anyone who spots this two Dr's pls contact Webster (only alive, coz if they were dead then cannot ask them already).

that's all for now.
thanks and i believe that will be an rainbow coming soon. now it just a test to see how much i really want it.

Kuala Lumpur - Damai Laut Swiss Garden Resort and Spa Fun Quest.

On the first of November, a few friends and I were supposed to participate in a fun quest challenge cum treasure hunt competition by Katma, or catma or something like that. Basically it’s the Perodua Owner Association or something.

The race started from KL, Pandan Indah right to Damai Spa and Resort Lumut. The overall race took around 8 hours and 400 kilometers in distance to complete. We were given a tulips (a treasure hunt map, treasure hunters will know what tulip is), a list of activities to be done, RM57 for the activities among others.

Those who loves treasure hunting knows that treasure hunter competition or fun quest is the one of the best way to get almost free vacation, where everything else is prepared for you. For example, the fees for each contestant is RM90, and you’ll get shirts, caps and some other saguhati, comfortable hotel accommodations and 3 meals including breakfast lunch and dinner. But most treasure hunter enters a competition not really because of the cheap vacation, but for the thrill and exhilaration of the whole games and journey, but of course with one thing in mind, that is to win the competition.


So my highly competitive friends Kimi, and I, were ready to compete with his two other friends which I will call by their middle name Dumb and Dumber. Only that, dumb did not picked the phone until the night before the competition and said he is not going, and dumber sent an sms 6 hours before the competition that he had a family problem and could not make it.

Fuck!

So, I complacently agreed to go along with kimi. The only problem was, in one of the instruction, clearly stated that we need to go to Batu Caves and take pictures of “Gua”. And I reckoned that they will ask up to climb the Batu Caves. Both myself and Kimi are physically challenge although we are not OKU, because we will die of horrendous death due to lack of oxygen if we were to climb the stair. Because our stomach consume too much oxygen.

So around 2 am in the morning (just to stress the morning part) I went to a friends place and asked them to join us for the race which will be held around another 4 hours. None of them agreed to it, only until I used my ultimatum which is to beg and made up sad stories, how I would do anything for them even it will hurt me and how I will sacrificed anything for their well being.

It works.

Two of them, Naim and Zizi skinny ones agreed to join.

So we get back, had a little nap, and by 6.30 am we were all geared up for the competition. So our journey begins.

First task was to shop till you drop (literally) in Tesco Cheras. We had to buy few things from a list given. Being me, I had to do something funny so I decided to turn myself into a bowling ball and falls like an idiot face front and knocked a few flower vases. Luckily no one saw me falls, except I heard some loud giggling at the back, but I was so busy racing I did not turn to see who was laughing at me.

Fuck.

Second task, as I was expected, we went to Batu Caves and select of members to climb up the stairs and take pictures of himself.

Third task was to go to templer’s park. There we were given the traditional coconut grater and had to grate 100 grams of fresh coconut. That was kacang putih for me.

Then we shoot straight to Teluk intan for the next task, where each team had to eat 2 big bowls of ice kacang. I participated in this quest, because I thought I would be kacang putih too. But I was so wrong, I had a brain freeze and almost end up in a hospital.

Then from teluk intan, we went Swiss Garden Damai Laut Spa and Resort for a golf game (not the entire course, just on the green) and then after golf we went to the resort for the last game which was to put 3 pingpong balls blindfolded into a plastic container.

So each of us took turn to play the games, and it was fun. And I had a lot of great time.


So after the event, we rested for a while, went to the beach, attend the prize giving ceremony and then we went to lumut esplanade to eat Ice Kacang again. The very next day, some of us went to the Katma Annual general Meeting; while those did not attend the meeting plays some more beach activities and telematch.

My team, Kimi, Zizi, Naim and I, did not go to the AGM or join the telematch because we slept right until its time to check out.

So here are some of the pictures of the fun quest.
