Oven Roasted "Sun-dried" Tomatoes


Hey hey hey. Yes, that Robin Thicke song ("Blurred Lines") is stuck in my head.

After a morning selecting colour themes for this little blog of mine I got hungry. I wanted something to eat like now, now NOW. I made some sun-dried tomatoes and pesto last week and they were sitting in the fridge for a moment such as this! ;) Huge thanks to my friend Cheryl for introducing me to this fabulous way of cooking tomatoes.

Here we go - home made bread, pesto and sun-dried tomatoes. The vegetables are from Asda. ;) I don't think I am quite ready for a vegetable patch in the garden just yet.

Hey hey hey!

Meet Peanut!

Give me a treat!

Happy Hump Day!

Say hello to my hamster Peanut! She has been with me since August last year. We were supposed to get a pair, the idea being to name one hamster "Peanut" and the other "Butter" (Yes, we have an obsession with Peanut Butter - I like Whole Earth unsweetened Peanut Butter). Alas, it was not to be, so we just have Peanut.

What is your favourite Peanut Butter?

May the Kitchen Gods Bless this Blog

Welcome all to this little blog of mine.

Having just moved to the North East of England, I find myself craving for Malaysian food from time to time. Most times it is my mother's cooking I long for. As I cannot simply turn up at mama's house, I have to get cooking! I am blessed that we have a Chinatown in Newcastle and quite a few Oriental supermarkets to enable me to recreate my Malaysian favourites.


Since I have always enjoyed cooking and writing, I hope to share my experiences in the kitchen here. I hope it will bring some enhancement to your world as it has done to mine.
