The Day of Being Domestic

I have a day off today. And it's been spent being domestic. First thing in my mind when I woke up was to try the bread machine I just borrowed from my mom. Unfortunately, the manual was not in the box. So I decided to come over to my parents' to find it. Also of course to see little Ryan. He's so adorable. The first thing I said when I saw him this morning: Hello Ryan! Oh I got a little fan for you! But forgot to bring it.
He enthusiastically answered: Where?
Me: In my house.
Ryan: (change the topic) Let's see the biopori hole! Pus Meong! Kedongdong! (While dragging my hand with his little hand)
So off we went out to see them. It's been a ritual for us, something that's just us. And never bored of it.

Long story short, I was back at home in the afternoon. We tried making basic white loaf. It turned out ok, but not as good as I wanted. I think the flour was not the good one. It's a multi purpose one. Will try bread flour next time. And perhaps I put too much yeast in there. Mixed up the ml and gram.

The next thing we did was trimming the garden. We've been thinking of remodeling it to make it more spacious and clean looking. Sort of zen garden. So we discussed that and reached a conclusion about how we want it done.

After that, I rearranged the kitchen, tidying up, trying to find a nice space for the bread maker Whoa - it's quite a cleaning. And as my spirit was still high, I went straight cleaning the bathroom. I love baking soda! It is so bright!

Finishing my cleaning phase - it's then time to clean myself. What a glorious feeling! A cup of hot tea accompanied my next activity - watching Britain's Got Talents on Youtube - Susan Boyle, Diversity, Connie Talbot, Paul Potts, George Sampson.. Love them. And I got companion, wonderful!

Now, nearing the end of the day, I'm currently waiting for my lentils to cook up. And turn it into meatball for tommorrow's lunch.

But before that, let's have dinner first - delicious ayam panggang slametan and urapan! Yumm..
And I think this book will be my bed time companion.
