today, me and papa hasif had planned to spend our sunday at home since we had been out the whole day for the past weekends.. so many things to do before.. bought things for the house etc.. maybe now it's time to simply rest and relax at home..
we had also planned to cook a special meal today.. home made pizza.. yummy.. thanks dandelion for sharing the receipe and the tips.. very useful info since mama hasif doesn't even know how to knead the dough.. ehehe.. :P
we started at 12:30pm.. i'm feeling very confident since i had memorize the receipe well and even watched the videos on the net on how to knead the dough.. punye la semangat.. eheheh we were both sooooo excited.. first time ever ni.. so 12:30pm i started mixing and kneading the dough, while papa hasif prepared the ingredients for the pizza sauce.. chopping onion n garlic.. prepare chicken cubes n slice the mushroom.. luckily baby hasif was sleeping soundly.. adoiii i never knew that it's so hard to knead with your own bare hands.. punye la lenguh rasa.. from time to time i keeps on calling papa hasif asking whether the dough is ready yet or not.. haii macam mana nak meniaga pizza ni..
however the end product was very tasty.. seriously.. the dough was soft.. the topping was full with chicken (my favourite) and mushrooms (papa hasif's favourite).. i think we can simply beat pizza hut or our latest addiction, dominos pizza.. ;) :D
