Up & About

yesterday's blood test

yaya passed her final blood test with flying colours. seems that her platelet counts picking up very fast since the last one on sunday. though throughout the 3 days ordeal the doctors keep on telling us that nothing much can be done to help boost her platelet count, i don't think any parents would be able to just sit and wait, especially when your child's life is at stake. ni yang kekadang rasa frust consult doctor. at least tell us lah yang protein is a good/reliable source to help build antibodi ke kan? well, anyway it's over now. syukur alhamdulillah.

my prayer goes to few of my colleagues whom wife & children & self were admitted since last monday for fear of dengue while one heavily pregnant mom due to deliver anytime confirmed infected by dengue.

on another note, my kitchen is back in operation sebab no. 1 yaya dah sihat and no. 2 hubby dah balik from his outstation trip petang tadi. apapun semalam oven dah mula membakar the best ever brownie made of rice flour! i thought rice flour is used to coat banana fritters jer. actually this is a special recipe sesuai untuk orang yang alah pada gluten. tak sempat nak snap pics coz hubby sudah kidnap camera bawa pegi outstation so i'll just pinjam paste pic ni. the brownie that i made last night looks exactly like this... harap maaf pinjam pic... credit goes to taste.com

1/2 cup rice flour
1/2 cup gluten free flour
150g melted butter
1 1/4 cup caster sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/4 tsp baking powder
2 eggs, lightly beaten

... is all you need to make this brownie. i made it a little bit different, i topped the brownie with chocolate chips that melted in the oven. 15mins to prepare & 20-25mins to bake. now everyone can bake. no regrets, seriously.
