This Weekend

Hello,
Weekend is coming to the end,but fret not,because next week we're gonna have a long weekend.Wooho!
long weekend means more time for me to do DIY and go buying some stuff for the big day.

This weekend,I went to Jalan Tar everday to have the fitting session with my tailor and boy,not just the weather was freaking hot on Saturday,but there were also many people buying stuff for raya.
Since I am focusing more on my wedding preparation this year,I only got 2 baju kurung tailored,nothing fancy and extravaganza this year.Haha.

If you guys wanna know what preparation that I do for my big day,you guys can follow me on instagram at @hidayash since I'm not gonna update about it here,haha,too lazy I guess.

Have a nice day,everyone!!

Recipe 25:Sheperd Pie


Salam guys,
So,it's been rainy quite frequently these days,right?Well,of course the sun never tends to hide as well,but we got those chilly rainy days sometimes.
Well,what weather has to do with food?This Sheperd Pie has something to do with it.
It's famous as comfort food during fall or winter time,but since Malaysia doesn't have 4 seasons,chilly and rainy day would do good too ;-)

I was first introduced to this Sheperd Pie at my friend's house when she was holding a raya open house back in 2009.That time,I tasted the pie and instantly fell in love,though my friend's Sheperd pie is quite hot with black pepper.

In my recipe,I still use the Black Pepper,but I only use very little amount of it,and add some other mixed herbs instead of using black pepper alone.

So,here's the recipe for you guys,

Ingredients
Minced Meat filling
Minced meat
Mixed Veggies
Beef Broth
One red onion
Few garlics
Tomato paste
Black Pepper
Mixed herbs,I used Tyme and Oregano
Olive Oil
Salt

Mashed Potato Topping
Mashed Potato
1/2 cup Full cream milk
Few spoons of butter
Black pepper
Salt

Parsley flakes for garnish

Methods
1.For Mince Meat filling,first,heat the frying pan with olive oil
2.Cook the minced meat until pinkish color gone and later add the diced red onion
3.Cook for several minutes more and next add chopped garlic.
4.When the meat is tender,add beef broth and keep mixing
5.Add the tomato paste,mix some more,add the mixed herbs and lastly add salt and pepper.
6.For Mashed potato topping,first boil the potatoes until soft
7.Mash the potato,add few spoons of butter,milk,salt and pepper
8.In a caserole,grease it with butter,and then pour the minced meat filling on the bottom of the caserole.
9.Top the caserole with mashed potato,and using a fork,scratch the surface for a nicer presentation.
10.Lastly,garnish with parsley flakes and bake in the oven at 175 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.
11.Ready!!

Salam ladies, 
How have you been?
Believe it or not,this is my first entry of May,when it's almost middle of the month already.
Alhamdulillah,my wedding preparation goes smoothly,except some small hassle I have to get through.Don't really feel like writing it up here,but let's say,I seriously don't like to make business with people who don't know how to keep good reputation and professionalism of themselves.

Well,I practise "everyone needs a second chanc"e,but only if I can still hold on tight to my patience,I will give them what they deserve.

Oh,my,sorry for my babbling.If you notice clearly,I don'T feel like to dress up nicely these days,or wearing heels,the main reason why is because I need to walk in heat from one place to another to run errands.

It's not easy as most of the time,I have to do it all alone,considering my fiance is far far away,and there are times when I lost my mood to do all these things :(

Well,long distance isn't easy at all,but I hope at the end of the day there'll be a bright future for both of us.

Thank you for reading this!!
