Yesterday, my husband invited his friends for dinner. I was down with flu over the weekend and had not much energy to prepare proper dinner course for them. I served them with tomato rice, 'ayam masak merah my mom's version', pickled carrot and cucumber, and my instant pumpkin pie. Yepp, instant because I only decided to make it 2 hours before our guests arrive, and it did not need any baking work. Hehe. The dinner went well, Nabilah was the center of everyone's attention since her baby sister went to bed earlier at 7.30, and we met Suri's new boyfriend-cum-fiance.
What I learnt most from yesterday was I need to focus and do things right once and for all. Okay, I may be cannot do things right at the very first time all the time. But I'm talking about slicing cucumber and carrot as thinly as possible, it took my time and I was exhausted from the flu. The night before I decided to use cheese grater to slice the carrot. I sliced the cucumber well, but the carrots are too fresh and hard to slice faster. I was completely out of my mind that time, and went ahead anyway. Took me only 15 minutes and I sat down for other work. The next morning, I looked at the freezed carrot and cucumber, my spinning head wondered whether those guys will actually eat them, and I don't want to let my husband down seeing them to thin! I sliced another batch of fresh carrots and cucumber when my babies napping, took me half an hour to finish them. If only I did it correctly last night, I can spend my rest-during-baby-naptime doing other work or finish my writing. Well, I made a mistake and learned from it. What else is better than that?
