Happy Valentine's Day!

What a super duper busy day for me! Finally made sambal belachan, all because I was going to cook nasi lemak for you-know-who. Well, they say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, right? Soaked lots of dried chillies and de-seeded them (my hands are burning right now!!!) . Boiled pandan leaves with coconut milk. Pounded garlic and shallots. Seasoned chicken wings. After the girls came home from school, melted a bar of chocolate for them to make I-dunno-what-they-are-called chocolatey rice krispies. Basically just pour melted chocolate over rice krispies and mix well, then spoon into paper cases. That done, I began to cook the sambal. This is my second attempt. The first was a flop. Very happy I succeeded this time though my hands are really painful now. (Must remember to wear gloves the next time!) Had such a satisfied dinner. (To self: forget the calories consumed)

Hope you all had a lovely day spent with your loved ones!
