♥ Open Houses
This is like the second week of raya and there are still many open houses to attend. Every single weekend is rather occupied attending open houses or being the host. Usually people just host one open house but my family's style is a bit different.
Last Friday, the whole office came to my house. We kind of made turns to visit the each houses. Almost every weekend there'll be houses to attend. So my menu for that particular day was - fried meehoon, nasi impit and kuah kacang, chocolate moist cake, agar-agar santan, nuggets, prune cake and Raya cookies. I took the day off to prepare the feast for my officemate and guess what - I was exhausted! But I only felt it after showering that night! I guess I stood the whole day and being me, I'd get cramps in my legs due to low level of salt in my blood and also for standing the whole day! Sometimes I feel like a pregnant lady because of the regular cramps I get at night. But what is it to be surprised, my upper half is large. Of course I get cramps.
I use to get cramps regularly in fasting months when the food intake is only once (since I skip sahur). But I usually take 100 Plus since it is full of minerals and can increase the salt level in my blood. But that night, I was out of 100 Plus. I got cramps on both legs and awoke in the middle of the night.
Anyway, I hope the food was okay and my friends enjoyed the dishes. All made by me - ehem ehem. A colleague commented that I can really win a man's heart by my cooking. Haha.. I know that she's just kidding because she wanted me to cook asam pedas for her the other day.
Today, my youngest brother invited his friends over. I made mee kari this time (actually my mom did the cooking since she wanted to cook mee kari. I just helped with the ingredients and the garnishing). Oh by the way, yesterday my uncle placed orders for the agar-agar santan. At first he wanted to ask me to cook kuah kacang for his open house, but I guess he thought that it was a late notice since he wanted it the next day and he informed me on Friday night.
So, next week there'll be more open houses to attend. And there goes my diet again. I had to skip my colleague's open house today since I was entertaining my brother's friends. And I heard that not many turned up. Who is to blame because this time of year and on weekends, people visit each other. I already planned to go but I couldn't get away. And I just heard that there will be my batch's Beserian gathering in Bangi next week. So, I invited them as well since they'll be in Bangi. But thinking back, I think I'd just invite my classmates. The others - I am a bit shy.
My mom joked around and said that I am better off as a cook. She said that with the size of me, people will have confidence to come and eat. Maybe I'd give it a thought. Who knows, I can get side income from that. But the problem is, I just know simple dishes for small quantity only.
Emm.. better think of the menu to cook this Sunday. What will it be eh?
