Plenty of Brioche + Malaysian Curry + Mother's Soup: 14-20 March 2015

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful




this week, writing out my daily schedule on my phone and planner has helped me keep on track of everything.

also, i have learnt that it's not good to be afraid of trying new things. whether it's baking a loaf of brioche for the first time or stepping into the unknown world that is Malaysian cuisine, go for it and give it a go. you never know, you may end up baking better bread than anything in your local supermarket.

finally, more new spring lambs at the farm. omg - they are beyond adorable. always skipping after their mothers who unfortunately for them, seem to be more interested in food.
