pleasing myself never got so easy
There is this domestic streak in me that is screaming to let loose this raya but all factors are against this idea:
1) the oven is not working. the oven!
2) schoolwork seems to be a alot alot more!
3) i have MS matters to attend to quite frequently
4) my mum is not planning to cook any grand/typical raya dish, she's going with simple and delish chicken rice (undomesticity is hereditary i tell you)
...some great conspiracy theory i must say
to make light of it, my sister and I have found nonbake recipes for cheesecakes and cornflakes cookies (first time making cornflakes cookies hahaha) and we're willing to give them a try just because they're our favourites. i do feel sad seeing my friends and A getting excited baking and cleaning their houses for raya (we were this close to getting a weekend maid to do the cleaning, yes that kind of sloths we are) while my house looks pretty much the same and doesn't waft of cookies this year. looking on the positive side and what i learned from the tazkirah session yesterday, some things you can do without and i don't think i need all the hassle at all. there are no screaming at each other in the house this year, because no one is frustrated her cookies turned out wrong or her rendang is burnt, and no one is tired from cleaning the house FULL of junk we didn't even notice.
okay, i'm appeased (:
