The Pav*lova

We order the Sauteed Butter Mushroom Tapas for starters, Lamb Cutlets for main and Pavlova for dessert. Afraid the Pavlova would run out we ate the dessert first followed by the starter. Verdict? Mushroom tapas was superb, lamb was excellent and it came with a tasty helping of couscous so I'd recommend both of these dishes. Finally, the pavlova was heavenly. Compared to the meringue, pavlova is sweeter and you'll have to eat the cream first before getting to the pavlova where as the meringue is interleaved with cream so you get to eat both at the same time. So for me, between the two, number one is the meringue and second is the pavlova.

The ladybird is actually made from carnations. My mom's friend gave it to her after she made it in a flower arrangement class. I wish I could learn flower arrangement because I love flowers and have always tried to do some arrangment whenever I put the flowers I bought into a vase. During my sister's wedding, I made her hand bouquet and got lovely comments from people. Maybe I can start a business from flower arrangment? Hmmm...

Breakaway? Getaway? But Where?

The mid semester break has started. Shah and I want to go on a hotel breakaway next week but we're not sure where and when. If we do go, we would want a place with a big pool because we intend to let Maisarah swim as much as she can. I too want to have a splash in the pool. Gosh I can't remember when was the last time I got into a pool.

I also want to plan a getaway for us in April to celebrate our 8th anniversary. But again I don't have any idea where to. Last year we went to Langkawi. This time it would be great to go to the beach again. Hmm I've got to find time to search for some deals on the net.

I Love Mac N Cheese

We took Maisarah out today because she told us she wanted to get a Donald Duck top. We could'nt find one so we got her an Elmo top instead. She had a whale of a time playing with the toys in Park*son. Then we had lunch at Chil*lies. Maisarah had her usual Mac n C heese while we had our usual, the Southwestern grilled lamb. You can see how much Maisarah loves her Mac n Cheese.
