Aktiviti pagi

I've started running the neighbourhood route again since AH started her partime job at the kindy.  theres usually nasi goreng & hot tea on the table (AH & her abah likes their breakfast heavy) before i leave for a half hour of huffing & puffing.  then its a quick shower & change before i drop the missy off and head straight to work.

But late last nite AI told me, in his 'suave' & 'nonchalantly' way,  "Ma esok ada jamuan kat fakulti.. can make brownies ah for potluck?"

Haisshh, these kids always cakap last minute n expect mama to make things happen.  lucky thing so far  they've escaped major disappointment and in this case, lucky thing also there's spare stuff stocked up in the larder & fridge.

So this morning, instead of running i ended up making cheesecake brownies!!

And bcos of the time constraint (and bcos i'm not a purist) i took the easy way out by taking a major shortcut hehehe. i used betty crocker's ready mix.. just add water, oil & eggs and the brownie part is done ;p

That left me with just the topping. but thats not a problem bcos my mixer would be doing all the hard work lol

Once the topping is ready & spread evenly, all thats needed is a little swirling of the chopstick and thats the  marble effect  all done.

And with that, i left the baking to the man himself lol.... tak sempat nak buat and part of the price to pay for giving mama such short notice & making her miss her run ;p

AI - happy baking darling hehehe :D

Update: On a more sober note, i was told by the hubs that there'd been an unexpected death of a colleague's aunt and  he'd just come back from helping out with the necessary arrangements.  she was involved in a car accident but the postmortem results revealed that she'd had a stroke before crashing. she was 55.

Al-Fatihah to the deceased.. and condolences to the family & friends.  semoga rohnya ditempatkan bersama mereka yang solehah & beriman.
