It’s a beautiful day and my mood isnt as screwed as it was a few days back. I was pretty down but decided to let things pass. Moreover, Malcolm wasnt feeling well and he’s so clingy till i cant really do much with him around. As usual, i left him with hubby yesterday since he doesnt want his Mama. To make him happy, hubby gave him the remainder of the ice-cream we bought from Cold Storage on our last trip there.

It’s all gone and hubby reminded me to go get more. He was surprised when i told him i’ll make some Greentea Ice-cream today after lunch. And so, after our meal, he drove me to Wah Seng, Ipoh’s largest baking supplies store to buy all the ingredients needed for my Greentea Ice-cream recipe. See, my mood must be really good till i want to make Greentea Ice-cream, lol. Something i’ve NOT done before!!!!

So, here’s what i bought. Caster Sugar, non-dairy whipping cream and greentea powder from the baking store. Fresh Milk from the grocery store as the baking store doesnt have any, weird. Eggs came from the kitchen, haha. Ingredients for Greentea Ice-cream cost came to Rm23.40 + Eggs at Rm1.08 = Rm24.48. Not that bad after all.

Ingredients for Greentea Ice-cream Recipe from bottom left to right clockwise:

130g fresh milk
70g caster sugar
2 tbsp greentea powder
250g non-dairy whipping cream
3 egg yolks

Since i dont have an egg whisk, i used my Philips Cucina handheld mixer to do the job for me.

Method:

1) Mix egg yolk and caster together thoroughly. Add in the greentea powder and mix well.

2) Add fresh milk to the mixture and mix it well.

3) Double-boil mixture at low heat until it thickens. Just keep stirring and stirring slowly, k. See the froth. Wouldnt have turned out like this if i’ve used an egg whisk.

4) I then poured the Greentea mixture into a bowl and left it to cool on the kitchen table. The froth disappeared on its own when i went to check on it later on.

5) Pour the non-dairy whipping cream into a separate container.

6) And whisk it till it’s stiff.

7) Pour the cooled Greentea mixture into the non-dairy whipping cream.

Mix it well.

9) Transfer the Greentea ice-cream mixture into a container/containers.

10) Freeze overnight. Yields around 800ml of homemade Greentea Ice-cream.

So now that i’ve shown you how to make Greentea Ice-cream, why not make some for yourself, your kids, your hubby, your boyfriend/girlfriend, neighbor lol. I still have a lot of greentea-ice-cream ingredients left inside the fridge. If this homemade Greentea Ice-cream recipe turns out well (IT WILL, IT WILL, IT WILL), i’ll make more in different tastes!!!!

In a way, i love instant noodles simply because they fill my stomach whenever i’m hungry. I do buy instant noodles once in a while. This Ibumie Har Mee caught my attention when i was out the other day.

Looks good, eh. Well, we wont know until we try them for ourselves.

What a wonderful sight. Eh… do you know i had a really hard time waiting for the right moment to snap this. The vapor keeps blurring my lens, lol.

Here are the contents of the thick soy sauce, palm oil and fried onion bits.

I’m sure you’ve been waiting to see how my Maxim 12cm egg frying pan performs, right…..

I did not add any oil to the egg frying pan. So far so good. What a wonderful sight. I love eggs, do you?

Here’s how the Ibumie Har Mee with egg looks like. I sprinkled the packet of chilli powder that came with it over the egg. The taste? PERFECT!!!!

I stock a lot of pasta and pasta sauce at home. I’m not too particular over which type of pasta i buy. I’ve tried spirals, ribbons, shells, penne, everything, lol. As for pasta sauce, i have a preference for Prego, especially their Roasted Garlic Parmesan. I always forget to buy Parmesan cheese. And even if i do, chances are i forget to finish it before the expiry date.

And here’s a plate of spaghetti which i made this afternoon. Too lazy to go out as the sky’s all dark and i dont want to get caught in the rain with two kids in tow. They can be a real handful if we were to be stuck at a restaurant, unable to leave for home.

Bought this bottle of Laleli Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Jaya Jusco. Dribble lots of it over the spaghetti with Prego pasta sauce and yummmmm. I drink from it straight from the bottle at times. This is NOT for cooking. I have another bottle which can be used for both cooking and as a dressing. And if you have constipation, a tablespoon of this three times a day will help ease your sufferings, lol. Believe you me, it works. And the same goes for Virgin Coconut Oil.

Lovely, isnt it. I made a few plates of these spaghetti with Prego pasta sauce for my hubby and kids. Too bad i’m out of McCormick’s parsley . If not, i’ll sprinkle some over the plate of spaghetti.

Mmmmm…… have a bite. Happy weekend, all
