The Good And The Bad

the good thing about weekends is i can indulge in my (very amatuer) cooking. this weekend, the main dish that i planned to make was chicken chop. hubby wanted baked pasta was the second week running and have been bugging me to make a fish dish. i'm so not a fish person and wouldnt know which fish to buy. i took amir with me to the nearby supermarket and got amir to choose for me...he chose the wrong one, according to hubby. amir also chose so many other things that were not in my grocery list.

so for lunch on saturday, i made baked pasta. i made enough for two meals. saturday night's dinner was yummy but so, so simple. i made rice and kubis masak lemak while hubby fried the fish. between the four of us, we finished all the rice in the cooker and the fish and veggie. and someone said he wasnt hungry! sunday breakfast was little bit of the pasta to go with the french toast hubby requested. amir had his usual corn flakes.



















lunch on sunday was my chicken chop. making the mashed potato and accompanying veggies were easy enough. even the chicken was easy to make...thanks to my deep fryer. but i was a bit sceptical about making the gravy. looks easy enough but i havent made any kind of gravy before.


















sunday dinner is to finish up whatever that's left in the kitchen.

the bad part about this particular weekend is the boys' noses. asyraf & ariff are having really bad flu. we took them to the nearby clinic saturday night. asyraf was easy enough...he was given phenergen.


















ariff's turn. first the doctor asked why was his chest red. i said, i guess its because we were carrying him. she said maybe its something else. she checked his arms...nothing, his cheeks...red too, she was a bit worried when she checked his back. ariff has some sort of a pimple just below his right shoulder. her diagnose was...it could be chicken pox. she said to monitor him closely. if there's more pimply-dots on his body then its confirmed, chicken pox. oh god nooooo!! not ariff! when she was checking his temperature and listening to his chest, she said...nebuliser. oh poor baby. he's never been sick his 4 and a half months and now, both wheezing and chicken pox.


















today we monitored him. he seems ok. his chest and back werent red anymore and the pimple has dried up. i know i would prefer the boys to get the pox early on but i really wasnt prepared for that yesterday. not now, not yet...

the boys put on a fashion show before going to bed...
