Ticket to Ride

A game to snooze the rain away..
Ticket to ride - Card game
I found it at a costume shop at $20. It's great fun. Hubby is determined, again, to get the original board game. hee
PicPickNic - Card agme
Its a kids game but it was more to luck and gamble of sorts, we disnt fancy it and went back to another round of Ticket to Ride..!

Cake P0P mania

Our Jihad

Mengaji with Zameer and Fadhli. Trying to learn and read the Qur'an is our Jihad..!
I will try to put some food on the table for my guests.. basic courtesy
Seen here is Betty Crocker's Cornbread that Elisya loves
Also Pizza! home made crust was my first attempt and it did quite rise to the occasion. Buying Pizza topping cheese instead of Mozzarella was also another mistake as it doesn't melt nicely or taste as good. Also the Master's black pepper bacon also gave a funky taste instead of Zac's segar bacon. Next time i will stick to just Pepperoni and cheese only!

Fondant fun

A visit to my mom's house got me excited to try something new. It was my first hand at fondant. I let the kids had a go at their 'play dough'. To me it was a nightmare! Haha...

The girls ate their creation delightfully. Honestly, it looks very UN-appetizing so I discard the fondant and slap my beautiful Butterscotch cream cheese instead..! Beautifully done by sweet Hadirah.

Fiesta

It was a great day for me.
Started the day with a jog in the neighborhood. Then went snooping around at an RC event of Tree Planting Day. Best of all, I won a bid on eBay for my very own Kenwood Major! It was delivered within in 2 hours.
So I was whipping away in kitchen the whole day. Made ourselves Pizza, Jello, Tacos and Cheesecake...

AlhamduliLLah
