constantly craving..

..the quarter pounder!
its john clayton mayers birthday a few days ago and somebody was too damn persuasive, i just had to say yes! uh huh..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN..
telling you the same, good loving is on her way..  ;-)

theres just 'something' about john that i cant quite point a finger at..  cheeky lol

thats johnny on my SKIN!
(god, my hands are muscular)
AND THANK YOU FOR DINNER  :-) AND EVERYTHING  ELSE  ;-)

 

i thought...(lol i better not 'think' too much)

well anyway, i posted on facebook that on tuesday i missed my mother so much, god rest her soul, i started reminiscing my childhood  :-) yeah i was hungry too. alright before we argue on whose mom is the best cook..i agree that we all love our moms cook, as i love mine. i love to eat..(huh, no wonder!) so food to me is somewhat a journey and every journey is an experience..just like the article i shared on facebook about turkey (http://travel.nytimes.com/2011/10/02/travel/tasting-humble-and-high-cuisine-in-istanbul.html?smid=fb-nytimes) and its legendary, mouth-watering, tongue-waking (????  haha) cuisine, desserts and it seemed to me, everything thats edible in turkey, fits to be fed to the kings anywhere in the world. well at least  LIESL SCHILLINGER wrote it in such a beautiful way, she really got me!!!

ooooo.k back to my moms humble kitchen! when shes at home, shed cook for us with all the love in her heart. even if she didnt have to 'cook' it...like the ikan bilis & air asam (dried anchovies in tamarind juice) i absolutely love it that even as i type, i swallowed my saliva  a few times!

how to?

get  the smalllest sized anchovies, about a handful of onion, slice thinly, chilli, slice

tamarind paste, depends on how sour you want it

and mix together.. add salt to taste, voila!!!

ohhh.. of course you know, this is for those who dont!! macam buat sambal budu! or even the famous cincalok.

:-)

p/s: i have two more new posts that i decided to put on hold and let this go..
