I feel like preparing something for dinner. Not just any food, but a comfort one.  So there I was, Google-ing these and that and finally I decided to make black pepper steak out of scratch. It was easy and quick to prepare. I just took less than 45 minutes to get it done.  Here's the recipe.

Pan fry the marinated steak for 1 minute each side.  Pre-heat oven to 160 degree Celcius. Bake the steak for 15-20 minutes depending on how you want your steak to be (medium or well done). *you can either grill or ...

My first attempt of making pancake. Breakfast Second attempt. Quite successful but the pancake does not fluffy enough. Serve with ice cream. For supper.  Maybe I should try making it for the third time in order to get the perfect ones using these recipe.  Pancake Recipe 1 cup of flour 1 cup of fresh milk (I use HL) 1 egg 1 tbsp baking powder 1/4 tbsp baking soda (I do not use soda during my 1st and 2nd attempt) 2 tbsp brown sugar 1/4 tbsp salt 1 tbsp butter

Requested by someone.  Anyway, I got the recipe when watching the Dish with Vivien @AFC channel.  I was apparently looking for this recipe at the moment. What a coincidence.

Add in the salt and pepper to taste. Blend the ingredients together by mixing with hands. Divide the mixture into 4 and form into patties using your hands.  Brown the burgers on both sides and put into the oven on medium heat. Cook 160 degree Celsius in the oven for 8-15 minutes depending on personal taste for rare to well-doneness.

It is always a pleasure to preparing meal for my little girl. One of the reason is she loves to eat. Be it porridge, fruit stew, vegetables, you name it. She never refuses unless it is banana. Yup. My baby is not a big fan of banana. I don't know why. Sedap je kan pisang. Tapi bila dia makan terkulat-kulat muka dia nak menelan. Last2 after few spoons she refuse to open her mouth. Tak minat. I made her porridge everyday. Yes, I half-cook the porridge during night time and pre-heat it before off to work.  During the weekend, I start preparing for her food after having breakfast, which is around 10:30 a.m. Usually the porridge will take about 30-45 minutes to be cook. Hmm.. mmg berjanggut jugak la. I will do the house chores (while sara's taking a nap) while waiting for the porridge to be cook. Porridge with carrot, potato and fish - Basuh bersih segenggam beras (depends on how much your kid will eat). Tanak bersama carrot yang dihiris nipis dan kentang. - Bila bubur dah men...
