It's Ramadhan again. Alhamdulillah things are looking good this year. I feel more energetic, more relaxed as compared to last year. All the people I love are healthy and happy, that's the most important thing.
Last year I was still fully breastfeeding my boy. So it's a bit of a challenge when you want to cook and your baby wants to nurse for a few times in between. And if I remember correctly things were busy at work and I did not have the opportunity to be back home early at all. Plus hubby was still working far at that time. I remember us coming back just before buka puasa and it was always tapau-ing the food on the way back for most of the puasa days. And the idea of cooking felt like such a huge commitment.
But this year, I think I have much more energy. And I have this one azam that I want to cook this year. And as usual, when you put your mind to it, things can become easy. You can cook some sensational combo meals within 1 hour, 2 hours tops.
And I really want to show my appreciation to hubby by cooking for him. He's been such a great hubby and he's my biggest fan where my cooking is concerned :) so since my boy is all big now, hubby can easily entertain him while I cook. Plus next year, who knows, maybe I'll have another baby in tow, insyaAllah. So this year is the year to cook!!! *wink wink*
Semoga puasa kali ini membawa keberkatan kepada kita semua, insyaAllah.
