Weekend is here
Happy Friday y’all!
I still have half day of work tomorrow. No work tomorrow! I’m getting used to coming on Saturdays (sometimes I don’t need to come). I only hate the traveling part … 1 hr to work and another 1 hr back … kind of a waste of time. Plus of course, I can’t do some weekend AM household chores …
Anyway, nothing much over here. On Wednesday I made chocolate granola bars but I didn’t quite enjoy the chocolaty taste. It was a little too sweet (I added both cocoa and semi-sweet chocolate chips) and the cocoa was a little too overpowering. I could hardly taste the roasted almonds. I wasn’t satisfied, so yesterday I made more bars (original version), plus added some puffed rice to them. Ahhhh … puffed rice = crunchiness! I know you must be getting sick of seeing my granola bars haha.
Yesterday the husband brought back some otak-otak. It is a fish cake wrapped inside banana leaf. They are made by mixing fish paste (usually mackerel) with a mixture of spices including chillies, garlic, shallots, turmeric, lemon grass and coconut milk. The mixture is then wrapped in a banana leaf that has been softened by steaming, then grilled – Wiki
I used to have an aversion to these. I can eat them now, though not a big fan. Some are not too bad.
As far as working out is concerned, I’ve been doing elliptical and stationary bike. Today is resting day. Fitness First just called and asked if I wanted to be a FF member again. Pay $137 monthly (for everyday use at all branches) or $97 monthly (for weekend use at all branches). I kindly declined. The reason I stopped my membership was because I wasn’t making full use of it.
Weekend Agenda: visit my sister, body massage (maybe), DVD (we have two movies to watch), rest, relax … oh and take down the christmas tree!!! Have a good weekend!
