carrot cake and MAG for break fasting

Carrot cake BEN 10 for Danial's 8th birthday

and Sue ordered MAG together with the birthday cake

bakar siap2, ready for her berbuka

Ita and and Nas also ordered MAG, Ita wanted to try and so did Nas, after seeing MAG in my kitchen many many times, as in Nas's case, I think it's not just her who wanted to taste this MAG but it's more of the baby in her tummy talking, quite a last minute request, called in the morning and to pick up by noon, if not for the baby, I might have refused, but since I was also preparing for another order, I could just increase the ingredients and make one pregnant woman happy! and the baby too!!!

Thank you Sue, Ita and Nas who ordered these macaroni au gratin ( MAG) for berbuka puasa

a taste of Italian in this aluminium foil dish

She ordered macaroni au gratin with meat and seafood the last couple of days, and less than a week she ordered again, but this time with an additional smaller portion, to subtitute the meat with chicken instead.

if baked during fasting, really testing your patience, sungguh menggoda aroma keju mozarella berlegar legar di ruang dapur ku.....

Athira ordered both dishes to be eaten with her friends at the shop on the eve of Ramadhan.thank you dear and Selamat Berpuasa to you.

macaroni au gratin for lunch

For breakfast, I prepared toast with beef salami and egg sandwiched with a slice of cheese for the kids. Don't know if I should call it breakfast cos they had them at 12 noon! It was a weekend, last Friday, so a few hours late wouldn't hurt, I guess.

Therefore , since they had a late breakfast, I thot we might just skip rice today and since I still had the cheddar and mozarella in the freezer and a few more packets of macaroni in my larder, why don't I just prepare macaroni au gratin for them. they definitely wouldn't say no to this scrumptious dish.

I used whatever ingredients that I could find in my fridge, minced meat, minced chicken, fish fillet and a little bit of prawn only for the filling.The result never fail to impress my kids.

We had this meatycheesilicious macaroni at 3 pm. What did we have for dinner that night? Was it grilled BBQ sauce shoulder or Spanish omelette? I can't seem to recall.....One of these days I'd like to try spaghetti carbonara, that is if I could find the recipe. It's in my notebooks somewhere but which book? It's nice to change the dishes once in a while instead of just having the usual rice for our meal. Variety is the spice of Life!

Bon appetit!
