My take…

The other day STP posted his ‘tuna toast on his blog’. And it occurred to me that before my oven goes KABOOM on me for baking too much, I made such toasts, or rather,pizza bread quite often too as my snack. Nothing much to be proud of, but it keeps me satisfied nevertheless. It’s some sort of a comfort food for me when I’m feeling down or too busy to cook elaborate meals for myself and my family.

Ingredients:

4 slices of bread

Some tomato sauce/pasta sauce

Shredded chicken breasts

4 slices of cheddar cheese

First of all, spread some tomato sauce on each of the bread slices generously.

Top the bread with cheddar cheese and shredded chicken breast, and bake it in the oven for around 5 minutes at a medium heat.

And you’ll get this…mine usually turned out to be quite disgusting looking, but they serve their purpose as comfort food pretty well. Don’t let their looks fooled you.

Anyway, you can be creative with this. Instead of using shredded chicken, you can use ham, sliced sausages, tuna chunks or even crab-sticks as the topping.

My personal favourite got to be the ones with crab-sticks with tomato sauce and a bit of thousand Island sauce along with melted cheese as the topping.


Cleffairy: It’s all about chemistry. I treat my kitchen like a chemistry lab. Therefore, my food always turned out weird and the equipments KABOOM pretty often.

Fried tumeric squids/ Sotong goreng kunyit

I’ve always love fried tumeric squids, or locally, known as sotong goreng kunyit. My mum used to make them for me when I was a little girl, and I could eat them with plain rice over and over again.

Allow me to share the recipe with you. Sorry for the blurred picture though. I don’t quite give a damn about pictures and presentation. As long as the stuff is edible… Plus, my family was hungry, and I forgot to turn on the lights.

LOL…I assure you, the thing is not poisonous. LOL… I’ve been cooking this stuff ever since I was 10. 😛

Ingredients:

200-300 grams of squids, cleaned and cut

Shallots

Tumeric powder

Long beans

Salt

Some cooking oil

Here’s how you do it:

Mix tumeric powder with the squids that has been cleaned and cut in a bowl. Add some salt, and leave it aside for 5 minutes. Cut up some long beans and shallots.

Pour some cooking oil into the wok/pan. Sauté the shallots, and toss in the squids. Let it cook for about 5 minutes before adding the long beans. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, take out and serve with plain rice.

Yield: 2 servings

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cleffairy: Simple, eh? Maybe you can feed this stuff to your family when you’re up to it. 😀
