Make it ourselves…

Last Sunday, my girl said she wanted to make a pizza for Mother’s Day. “But that’s a week away,” I told her. “Next Sunday!” However, her mind was made up and she decided to go ahead with her plan.

She made her own pizza base – the bread dough type even though I know that actually, she likes thin crust. She opted for seafood topping so she used my stock of those giant prawns that I bought and was keeping in the freezer and there was a packet of mussels that had been there for a while now so she took that and used as well. Of course, she added a whole lot of cheese – mozzarella and parmesan and maybe, there was cheddar too along with some pesto that she made and she also added a whole lot of herbs and lastly, a generous sprinkling of chili flakes…

It turned out really great…

…with the variety of flavours from all the ingredients added and the bread crust was good too, soft and nice. There was enough for lunch and dinner so we did not bother to cook anything else that day.

In the meantime, my good friend/ex-classmate, Robert and his wife, Angela, dropped by my house and they gave me this…

…flour-free chiu chu koi (tapioca cake) that the latter made. Oooo…I have a weakness for these nyonya kuehs but right now, I need to watch my sugar intake!

I tried a bit and found that it was not sweet so I was able to nibble one whole slice…

…at one go and save the rest for another time, bit by bit.

Thank you so much, Angela and Robert!
