Did I go to Italy over the weekends? I WISH…! Gosh, that’s my top 5 “must-visit” countries before I meet my Creator someday. A land full of passionate people. They give their best in everything they do…just look at their food, their fashion, their buildings…. the list goes on and on…. Hah!
I LOVE ITALY …I didn’t say Italians okey? That doesn’t mean I need to marry that Italian hunk yey! L’amico spiacente, il mio cuore appartiene in Malesia (pardon my Italian..) well, at least at the moment lar unless my Malaysian born boyfriend plans to leave this place for good…keke…
Well, since I can’t be there now, I might as well cook a two day Italian meal for my love ones right here in my very own kitchen on a rainy weekend…… nothing but the L’abeille way…….
Saturday - Pizza Fiesta Dinner for two
Iced organic green tea with a hint of lemon and sweeten with organic raw honey…When life gives you lemon, make lemonade out of it…
sweeten it with honey..after all, it’s good for you“Life is full of ups and downs….In order to be happy and in better control in life, a person needs to learn how to see things in a different prospective and at it’s brighter side in times of grief and difficulty”
~L’abeille on Secret to Happiness~
L’abeille’s extra crispy thin crust pizza (approx 30-32 cm)
(Crust made with extra virgin olive oil for the flavor, topped with all my dearie’s favorite toppings)
Life is like a pan of pizzaThe heavenly Father gave us life through our earthly parents…
All of us were born innocent, plain and bare like the base of a pizza
(comes in all shapes and sizes, thick and thin & different tones - but we’re just a piece of empty dough waiting to be filled)How to make it delicious and beautiful is all based on a big chunk of knowledge & common sense, unlimited quantity of love and a drizzle of creativity..If whatever you’ve combined tasted awful or it’s not up to your expectation, eat it (don’t worry…you won’t die eating) and try to improve on your next pan.
It’s just a medley of different ingredients combined to create a masterpiece learned through experiences….One should never ever give up trying ~L’abeille on Living A Positive Life~****************************************************************
Lasagna for a rainy Sunday brunch
Weight watcher’s Lasagna I had some left over pizza toppings the day before. Since I hate wasting food and never was my philosophy to lick my plate clean on a full stomach…. the very next day, I put all my leftovers in a pot, dazzle with more red wine (was it 1/4 of a bottle? I can’t remember… *hick*), herbs and ring-a-ting-ting….. I’ve created a small loaf of lasagna with minimal cheese, no ricotta and minimal grease.
A savory meal ain’t complete without a glass of Canadian Ice wine/Dessert wine…
…and a home made Tiramisu with Kahlua and a light dazzle of VSOP…
So, you’re planning on a little picnic for the two of you over the weekends? A quiet anniversary for two without having to leave your home? A wedding proposal at the comfort of your home? Drop me an email, I can help you make your dreams come true… erm…NO I can’t force her to say “I DO” but I can hide that diamond ring in her piece of cake but don’t say L’abeille didn’t warn you har… she might chocked or crushed her molars biting that big piece of “stone”………hehe… The chief’s not in a very romantic mood today….SUE ME!

Dearie and I often have mind bending & silly conversations …here are some of them in random order…
L’abeille: Honey, lets play a game…
*X-trail looks at me with big round eyes*
L’abeille: We’re gonna take turns to ask each other questions. Something about ourselves and see how much we know about each other…ok? You start first la..
X-trail: What’s my favourite colour?
L’abeille: *I can’t be wrong picking blue… but he said he likes green during our getting-to-know-you better sessions* Easy lar….you like GREEN
X-trail: Wrong…it’s Blue. Now let me guess, you like PINK
L’abeille: Oui…I don’t like pink!!! I like Lilac
X-trail: Well, that’s because the flowers I gave you was lilac isn’t it? Oh well…from now on…you shall like pink..pink…. nothing but pink *in a hypnotising tone*
L’abeille: Speechless

I was home alone last Monday. X-trail was working and so are the rest of my family & friends. The night before, a friend of mine who’s a working mom said I should “try” being a “tai tai a.k.a si lai” (homemaker) for a day because there are plenty of woman out there who’s dreaming to have such lifestyle…. sigh….
I drove to Village Grocer and Country Farm Organic shop @ Bangsar Village to get some food supplies for the week. Came home, boil some soup for dinner and I started to feel a little bored ;S
Wow…good! Half the day’s gone… now what’s next?
Wanted to go out shopping but unfortunately, it’s about to rain. Tried to surf the net but Steamyx was *#$_)#!#*$# slow-w-w-w…….. I read a little, did an hour of dance, 30 mins of stretching exercises, had a warm shower and started to feel sleepy.
I set the alarm to wake me up an hour later to cook dinner but hah…the moment I hit the bed, I was not able to wake up at all. I was practically snoozing my cellphone alarm every 9 minutes for a couple of times!! *That’s so NOT ME*
By the time I decided to wake up, I’ve only 35 mins left to cook before X-trail arrives for dinner. Panic? Nah….I’m used to cook in a hurry…NO SWEAT!
T-a-d-a-h!
Handmade extra lean pork burgers cooked in Worcester sauce sautéed with caramelized yellow onions and tomatoes
Stir fried spinach with garlic and wolf berries
Radish, pork bones and wolf berries *Mom said this soup will cool down a “heaty” body and the bones to strengthen our backbones wor… and she even remind me to throw in a chunk of wolf berries a 101 times because it’s for my EYES…. yadah yadah…i was blind before..I KNOW!!! * Don’t ask me, I’ve zero knowledge on Chinese Food Myth
Dinner’s served, X-trail’s back from work and we had a great time telling each other about our day. I realised that a typical stay at home lady don’t have much topic to talk about…only complains! *scratch head*
That night, I met the working mom again via MSN and she asked how was my “tai tai” day..
My reply to her “If I am so hung fook (blessed) to be married someday, Pleaseeeee give me a kid or two just to keep me annoyed..opps..i mean busy OR just let me rot in the corporate world out there. Tai tai’s not for me…blurks…”
Yay! I felt so happy to be able to go to work this morning…NO I am not faking it!
