Resepi Mak Sebagai Penyelamat

Baru-baru ni masa dok cari resepi Beef Chillies, terjumpa resepi tulisan tangan mak dalam buku resepi masa saya di US dulu.

 Haaaa... tudia!

Dulu zaman sekolah menengah memang saya pelajar jurusan Sains Rumah Tangga dari Tingkatan 1 sampai 3. Tapi truth be told, tak reti masak langsung.

Bila saya masuk PPP/ITM (now INTEC), saya hanya reti masak sup ayam dan ayam masak merah saja. Nasib baik roommates ok dan since masak ikut giliran, depa tak la jemu makan sup ayam dan ayam masak merah.

Bila sampai masa nak fly ke US, mak pun bagi bekal resepi. Banyak jugak la. So boleh la tahan dan survive masa di sana.

Sambil-sambil tu baru lah belajaq masak termasuk masakan-masakan di sana. So, la ni after balik Malaysia dah twenty-odd years, memang dah cekap la masak.

Ada jugak yang saya buat jual 😃😃😃

Lasagna for sale. 

Saya tak la serious sangat meniaga makanan.. Saja syok-syok. Kalau masak untuk anak-anak dan ada lebih, barulah saya offer kat buyers.

Walaupun dah berniaga makanan, masakan mak jugak yang paling sedap!

Dental Hygiene Is VERY Important!

Yesterday i had to endure 5 hours of meeting sitting next to a person with a foul-smelling mouth! It was the most horrific meeting experience i've ever had.

I'm not condemning the person here but we all must be aware of at least our appearance especially in a new environment because the first impression does make the difference.

I'm pretty sure she (ya, SHE!) takes good care of her appearance because she dressed well yesterday. She must have a problem with the gums or teeth.

When you work in an office:
● Floss your teeth always
● Brush tour teeth (and tongue) after lunch
● Suck on breath mints before meeting people
● Always check the smell of your breath - exhale into your hands and smell your breath
● Visit the dentist and have those cavities filled, if you have any
● Gargle with oral antiseptic solution

These are some of the things that i can advise you (and remind myself!). I was literally gagging the whole 5 hours.

I tried looking the other way but she kept trying to say something to me and i had to turn and face her.

I had to cup my chin and use my fingers to cover my nose as if i was bored with the meeting.

I had to appear as if i was thinking half of the time by putting my thumb on the side of my chin and use my index finger to cover my nostrils.

I didn't enjoy the meeting yesterday as i always did. I didn't know what's going on. I couldn't watch and enjoy people's antics during the meeting. It was pretty awful!

I am not one to criticise God's creation but being hygienic is OUR responsibility to take good care of what God has given us.

Urgh!

Keep and use them in the office!
