Menu Sihat ke?




Alhamdulillah, dah sepuluh hari kita berpuasa kan... ntah nape ntah...puasa tahun nie rasa bess sket.. hari 1st puasa, siyes perut lapar giler.. dalam kol 10pagi camtu dah pening kepala, rasa loya dan perut berbunyi2..tapi dah masuk hari ke-4 , ke-5, dah okay... pastu makan sket pun dah kenyang. Makanan walaupun dah masak sket atau beli sket jer, punyer la susah utk kami laki bini habiskan. Hehe.. ada chance turun beratla nie kan nanti... :p



Disebabkan Mr Hubby nyer kolestrol naik, (berat pun naik jugak.. hehe), aku try la nak kontrol diet dia, (diet aku jugak la). Sebolehnya, nak bagi menu2 sihat jerr.. tapi susah juga tao nak sediakan menu sihat. Masakan melayu tahu-tahu jelah, tak bersantan, mesti berminyak, bergoreng... yang berlemak dan berminyak tu lah yang sedap.



Ingredient utama adalah oat. Baru aku tahu rupanya oat nie boleh masak banyak benda. Kata orang, masak apa pun, campak je masuk oat. Asam pedas, sup sayur, bubur nasi, lempeng, cucur, dan banyak2 lagi la... tapi kata nak sihat, so kalo makan oat tapi asyik bergoreng je, dah jadik tak sihat... kena yang berebus la kan.



Pilihan pula terhad, sebab Mr Hubby nyer luka operation kat ibu jari kaki belum heal lagi. Jahitan pun belum buka, so xleh la nak masukkan seafood or ayam. Asyik2 ikan.. takpelah.. ikan kan baik untuk kesihatan. Rehatkan sikit perut nie dari bekerja keras. :D



Tak de ape pun nak cerita sebenarnyer. hehe ..tengah malas nak buat keje, sebab otak blur.. buntu takde idea.. so rehat kejap..



back to work now!!

Bluefin jerky

August 8

Not everything I learned about bluefin tuna could fit into the feature aboout that fish that appear's in this week's issue of Nation's Restaurant News. Feel free to e-mail me if you'd like to talk more about the different bluefin fisheries or the different farms and ranches that are raising the fish.

One thing I wanted to share was what Troy Guard, chef-owner of TAG in Denver, learned to do in Hawaii, where he trained under chef and restaurateur Roy Yamaguchi.

There the chefs would save the blood line of the tuna that runs along the fish's spine.

They'd sprinke it with local salt and dry it in the sun. They's serve it as a type of jerky.

"We called it something coo and crazy, like 'sun-dried tuna blood,'" Guard told me.

Guard orders a ranched bluefin tuna to cook at TAG most weeks, but he hasn't tried serving the bloodline there yet.
