fishhh


Bismillah

I've started to miss the smell of smoke( I think it's not really a smoke, probably the steam gave off from the cooking fish) filling in the air creating a very fascinating atmosphere around hehe.  tho I know whatever I made, mrs sister who is still in her confinement period would prefer to have just a grilled fish with turmeric powder and lil salt. that's all! she is so simple and easy to be taken care of, isn't her? <3 p="">

if you've got to know her, you'll agree with me that she is the simplest among us, the 5 ladies in the house( for the time being, lol. coz mr brothers have to finish their study first and must get a proper job before getting married in order for me to get another sisters-in-law hehe. insha Allah He knows best and of course His plan is superb).


1)
fish with orange, carrot, cheddar cheese and small amout of butter. instead of smash the carrot with fish, I put them into separated slices and let the cheese to melt and cover up the fish. yummy when it's still hot ;)


 2)
fish with blended garlic, ginger and coarsely ground black pepper

ready to be served :D


3) yesterday, my cooking partner and I tried a new recipe( so overconfident ;D). seriously it was super easy, energy and time-saving recipe. I considered it's a failure coz we might put too much turmeric powder but since the rest of the girls in the house convinced us that the dish was very delicious and they wanted even more, apakahhh?!( n some even asked for the recipe hewhew). so I think I should change the 'failure' to 'a good trial' hehe. it's better to be this way and seems more positive right? :D

do you know what it was? it was just a fillet with turmeric powder and salt( my sis fav dish, remember?) ;). in order to make it more western lollll, we spread a cream cheese on its top and left it in the oven until cook for about 30-40min, 200 degree. don't forget to remove the juice comes out from the cooking fish after about 20min of baking, so that it wouldn't make you nausea :p. ready to serve after maghrib prayer. :-)

*sorry no pix available for this coz we were in rush and simply used anything present in the fridge. instead of using mozarella cheese( sort of cheese), we used just a cream cheese coz it's the only cheese-based ingredient found at that time. remember, wasting is not good and hence we supposed to encourage ourselves to use up whatever present in the kitchen!! isn't it easier? ;p

I think I have fallen in love with it


Bismillah

today let me show you a very useful, compact and portable grill in the world( throughout my journey of life so far). I have just realized that it is so interesting and easy to use. furthermore, it is very fast to cook and to clean! these are the most important. I swear you guys( so confident isn't it? that is kauthar hehe) ;-). I saw mom used it quite sometimes during my last 3-month-holiday on June last year, which was the longest holiday I have ever had so far( praying that I will have another long-break during my duty as a doctor next few years insha Allah ameen ya rabb. a holiday and food lover she is, no more doubt. let's be futuristic everyone!) ;-). anyway, recently I have just noticed its beneficial uses which is a bit late from others but no worries people, better late than never. to be more specific, it started on Monday, March 4th 2013. why? 

because it was the day I started to be a half housemaid and housewife in the houseee *krik krik*. at least while I am still here in Malaysia for a week and more. everyone in the house is on duty, no school break or chinese new year or even taipusam break whatever. yes I made the decision to spend my hols here and this' what I am facing with, and I enjoy it! *insert big grin here* ;). to serve our family to the best is one of the great things ones must do and experience, especially for those who are studying or working abroad( including yuh kusa!!). certainly we( those who live far from their loved ones) seldom seeing each other, hanging out together, pleasing one another etc, and that's why it is a good idea to use our time wisely. some might say I am exactly like an unemployed maid but for me it is kinda practice babeh! a proper practice makes perfect, am I right?? "yes you are" ^____^. 

I take care of the house, tidy up the living room and kitchen, hanging all clothes from the washing machine, sweeping the floor; this is only be done when I do not feel lazy or it is too dusty everywhere around haha. yes sometimes we might feel so tired and as we put things into priority, we prone to put it on the least rank. preparing meals for the whole family is what I wanted to speak out here( scroll up to the first line), haisshhh I am so easily disrupted person. poor me T.T on the first day of task, mom prepared the ingredients and stuff for me( just on the first day okeh? afterwards mom or my eldest sis would only prepare fish that I should cook coz I couldn't recognize what type of fish it is!!! hahaha booo kauthar booo! I really need to work harder for this hadoii B-)). I think mom did not really believe in me since she had just few times tasted my own meals before. and if i am not mistaken they were all arab foods! no wonder!!! haha. she did not have the gut to allow me to cook malay meals for them lol. in fact, we have a newly mommy and newborn in the house, and for sure they would need a strict, proper and nutritious meals everyday. the baby is done( coz she is just breastfeeding! hehe easy to aunty but tiring for the mommy coz she needs to wake up in the middle of the night just to breasfeed or change her diaper, hehe. good luck sistah!!), so now left the mother to be handled!! ;-)


# ok let me show you the pix of the portable grill that you can use to broil anything that you want. spell it out; chicken, fish, vege, meat etc etc as long as you wanna grill it up. it is healthy by the way, because it cut down the use of oil( coz it is a grill remember?) ;-). of course I will not show you our own grill, because the carbon and smoke from the cooking fire has blackened it up. so I googled for a better pix hehe and found few but not that fascinating as if you see it by yourself. later I will tell you what I have done with it insha Allah, since now is the baby bath time!! go go aunty stop being lazy with the internettt. bye* (",)!



I think this' the best pix I could find -.-'

selamat hari ini semua


Bismillah


allah lah panjaga yg terbaik


alhamdulillah summa alhamdulillah.. :-)

sungguh, tiadalah ketenangan, kegembiraan, kesabaran, keikhlasan atau kekuataan dalam melalui detik2 kehidupan, cabaran dan ujian melainkan dengan rahmat dan kasih sayang Allah yang saaaaangat luas kpd kita. :))

selamat mengisi masa dengan sebaik2nya. semoga hari ini dan yg mendatang lebih baik drpd hari2 yg telah berlalu, insha Allah. :)

SELAMAT HARI INI SEMUA!! ;)


 فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلۡعُسۡرِ يُسۡرًا (٥) إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلۡعُسۡرِ يُسۡرً۬ا (٦) فَإِذَا فَرَغۡتَ فَٱنصَبۡ (٧)
" maka sesunggunya bersama kesulitan ada kemudahan(5) sesungguhnya bersama kesulitan ada kemudahan(6) maka apabila engkau telah selesai( dr sesuatu urusan), tetaplah bekerja keras( utk urusan yg lain)(7) "
[Asy-Syarh, 94:5-7]

*mesti ada benda punya utk dilakukan, percaya lah kauthar! selain tidur makan dan berangan* ;)


kita takkan pernah sempurna, takkan pernah terhebat. tapi kita tahu kita akan/telah buat yang terbaik, semata2 kerana Allah. sebagai tanda syukur dan sangat berterima kasihnya kita kpd Dia.(namun untuk mencapai ke tahap ini juga memerlukan latihan dan penyucian diri yang panjang, beserta doa dan pengharapan yang sungguh2 kpd Allah. sangat. isn't a proper practice makes perfect?). 


semoga kita dijauhkan drpd menjadi seperti mereka yang merasa diri sangat agung, hingga bisa mengatasi tuhan secara terus atau tidak terus.

secara terus
fir'aun( atau mana2 individu di dunia ini) yg merasa dirinya adalah tuhan. menyuruh rakyat dan pengikut menyembahnya umpama dialah yg maha esa.

tidak terus :
sesiapa saja yang merasa dirinya adalah yang terkuat dan terhebat( sedangkan kita tahu yang maha hebat/esa/agung hanya lah Dia, Allah yg esa). sehinggakan berkurang atau hilang terus rasa kebergantungan diri kpd Allah. malas atau enggan berdoa kpd Dia. hanya bergantung pada usaha dan kemampuan diri yang dirasakan hebat itu sahaja( dalam sedar ataupun tidak). ini sangatlah merugikan. kerna kita tahu, setiap manusia punya batasan. banyak. cuma terkadang kita tertipu dengan kemewahan/ ke'gah'an/ ketahanan diri yang kita ada. kita lupa bahawa semua itu hanyalah pinjaman Dia kpd kita..

umpama ayat2 Dia yang sangat banyak membicarakan berkenaan hal ini, semoga menjadi muhasabah dan peringatan buat diri yang menulis dan sesiapa saja yang membaca. sama2 kita ingat-mengingatkan...


أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ (٥ )
 " adapun orang2 yang merasa dirinya serba cukup( pembesar2 quraisy)(5) "
[abasa, 80:5]

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ (٨) وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ (٩) فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ ۥ لِلۡعُسۡرَىٰ (١٠) وَمَا يُغۡنِى عَنۡهُ مَالُهُ ۥۤ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ (١١) إِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا لَلۡهُدَىٰ (١٢) وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلۡأَخِرَةَ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰ١٣ ()
" Dan adapun orang yang kikir dan merasa dirinya cukup( tidak perlu pertolongan Allah), (8) Serta mendustakan( pahala) yang terbaik(9) Maka akan kami mudahkan baginya jalan menuju kesukaran( kesengsaraan)(10) Dan hartanya tidak bermanfaat baginya apabila dia telah binasa(11) Sesungguhnya Kamilah yang memberi petunjuk(12) Dan sesungguhnya milik Kamilah akhirat dan dunia itu "
[al-lail, 92:8-13]


كَلَّآ إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ لَيَطۡغَىٰٓ (٦) أَن رَّءَاهُ ٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰٓ (٧) إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلرُّجۡعَىٰٓ (٨)
 " Sekali-kali tidak! sungguh manusia itu benar-benar melampaui batas(6) Apabila melihat dirinya serba cukup(7) Sungguh, hanya kepada Tuhanmulah tempat kembali(8) "
[Al-'alaq, 96:6-8]
