It's in the jeans! *fashion alert*

Every girl needs at least a pair of perfect-fitting jeans in their closet to be worn casually. Jeans are very comfortable and trendy in mysterious ways. The latest designs might excite you but you have to constantly remind yourself to choose one that would fit you just right.

Thanks to the modern technology now we have a plethora of denim jeans out there in the market.However, going out for shopping at the mall can be exhausting as trying on jeans might sound fun but can be awfully tedious! 

The best jeans fashion styles for me would be anything that is comfy and of course compliment my whole look. As a hijabi, I prefer jeans that is not too tight, oftenly straightcut. These are some jeans fashion that I would go for:

Perfect Pavlova

Dulu pernah kongsi resepi pavlova kat sini. Tapi bila buat #throwback, masyaAllah rasa nak delete je blog. Nampak bebeno pavlova nye tak jadi..melepek je.. *sorok muka bawah laptop*.

Berbalik pada tajuk post. Tajuk tu perfect pavlova bukan sebab pavlovanya perfect sangat tapi teringat beberapa tahun lalu pernah dijemput mengajar membuat pavlova di Kolej Pendeta Zaaba UKM dan program tu dinamakan perfect pavlova.

Masa tu memang terjojol bijik mata tengok. Ye la kita pun ikut pengalaman sendiri je buat. Entahkan jadi entah tidak tiba-tiba dibaginya nama perfect pavlova untuk program tu!

Jadi, untuk mengenangkan pavlova yang konon-konon perfect tu saya kongsikan resepinya di sini. 

Perfect Pavlova

Alat-alat yang diperlukan:

Parchment paper (tak boleh guna kertas lain seperti aluminium foil etc melainkan alas silikon sahaja dibenarkan)
Mangkuk pengadun
Mixer
Spatula
Piping Bag
Cutter berbentuk bulat berdiameter 4inci

Bahan untuk pavlova:

4 biji putih telur / 167-170g

1 cawan gula kastor / 194 g

2 sudu besar tepung jagung / 13g

2 sudu kecil cuka / 8ml

Bahan untuk krim:

1 cawan dairy whipping cream (suka jenama Shani lebih berkrimmm~)

1 sudu kecil esen vanila

1 sudu kecil gula aising

Bahan hiasan (boleh ditukar mengikut selera masing-masing):

Buah strawberry

Buah kiwi

Coklat ganache

Cara-cara membuat pavlova:

1. Panaskan oven pada suhu 150 C. Kalau nak senang guna convection oven (oven yang berkipas). Tapi saya guna oven gas berjaya pun menjadi. 

2. Pastikan semua alat-alat bersih, tidak basah dan bebas minyak (kalau terdapat kesan minyak atau air lagi sila lap). Untuk mendapat putih telur pun pastikan telur dan tangan kering.
3. Mulakan dengan memukul telur menggunakan mixer dalam mangkuk pengadun. Gunakan kelajuan yang sederhana dahulu (takut putih telur terpercik-percik). Bila dah mula berbuih boleh lajukan mixer. Masukkan gula sedikit demi sedikit sambil pukul dan pukul sehingga stiff peak forms dan apabila mangkuk diterbalikkan putih telur tak jatuh.
4. Masukkan tepung jagung dan kaup balik menggunakan spatula. Disambung dengan cuka. Pastikan bahan semua digaul sebati dan mesra.
5. Sediakan parchment paper di atas loyang. Menggunakan teknik capan (haaa bukak balik buku pendidikan seni darjah satu dulu), terapkan sedikit cutter ke atas putih telur dan capkan atas parchment paper tadi. Menggunakan teknik ni, anda tak perlu susah-susah lukis bulat satu-satu guna pensil. (Teknik ni juga boleh digunakan untuk membuat macaroon)
6. Setelah selesai mengacap (betul ke perkataan ni?), masukkan baki adunan ke dalam piping bag dan pipe adunan ke atas bentuk-bentuk bulat tadi.
7. Masukkan ke dalam oven. Setelah 10 minit, turunkan suhu kepada 110 C. Teruskan membakar lagi 20 minit sehingga pavlova nampak kembang, kering dan rangup. Tutup oven dan biarkan pavlova menyejuk di dalam oven.
8. Langkah yang ke-7 ni sangat teknikal di mana oven tidak semuanya sama. Kalau boleh cuba dahulu satu biji. Kalau jadi baru bakar yang lain. Yang penting, jangan buka oven selagi pavlova tak sejuk.

Cara-cara membuat krim:

Campurkan semua bahan, pukul sehingga kental. Kalau dah nampak kental jangan teruskan pukul nanti krim pecah.

Hiaskan mengikut cita rasa anda.

Selamat mencuba! Kalau nak buat sikit, boleh guna sebiji sahaja putih telur dan bahan lain bahagi empat.

Tribute to Spotty

Letter #3

A wheedling meow approached Papa on the night of 26th July and Papa couldn't bear the thought of leaving poor little kitty alone. What with all the stray dogs and tomcats. So, Papa decided to welcome little kitty in.

I thought I tell you baby this story because it is such a brief moment in our lives but impacted us a whole lot (and I also don't know what else to write).

The kitten, a she, meow loudly as she entered the house. Papa and me are really hoping that that is the sound of excitement of exploring the house. We called her, Spotty.

In Mama's life, I've been keeping a lot of cats but this is the first time for Papa. Honestly, Mama's first thought was okay, here we go, another one to take care of. But I kept the thought to myself. But apparently Mama was totally wrong!

Papa was so loving. He let Spotty playfully scratch him head to toe even if it really bothers his sleep.

The next day, we put Spotty on boarding because we are going on a 3 days trip to JB. Spotty looks so stressful after we picked her up and unfortunately she had diarrhea. We were worried and brought her to the vet the very next morning.

Spotty was diagnosed with FPV and the vet doesn't let me handle Spotty as her stool can affect my pregnancy and worst you. The vet asked me to keep a distant with Spotty as it can risk my pregnancy.

Papa handled everything greatly. Never miss to feed and give medicine to Spotty and always remind me not to handle any of Spotty's waste.

I can already see Papa will be a great dad for you (not that I ever question that before) and this makes me really happy and looking forward for your birthing.

Spotty looks thinner yet healthier day by day. However on the evening of 8th of August, Spotty was breathing bizarrely. We blanketed her and she started to meow but very very weakly. I know Papa wanted to stay and take care of Spotty but we really need to settle something urgently that night.

When we got back home, Papa rush to see Spotty and Spotty looks so dry. He thought Spotty was thirsty so he gave Spotty 3 water shots of  syringe. After the 3rd shot, Spotty just stopped breathing.

Then we knew that Spotty is no longer here. I can see from the look of Papa's face he is really sad. But I assured him that we had done everything that we could to make Spotty stay. We buried Spotty at the playground that night with the help of Pak Cik Shukri and Pak Ya who are both coincidentally cat lovers.

From the way Papa took care of Spotty, I just can't wait for you to meet your Papa. You will love him! He puts you first in everything we do even now that you were not born yet. He will love you more than anything and you will instantly love him as well.

Keep kicking baby, Mama & Papa love you :)
