Chocolate!
I guess I am quite transparent to my close friends and family, or perhaps they just know me better.
I received this book last week, from a good friend of mine, Sarah.

You are not seeing double. I received the first book last 2 years from my brother. Thanks Abang! Goes without saying : Everybody knows I love chocolate. I mean come one, who doesn't? It is the best food discovery..after eggs (A friend told me, an egg is almost a complete meal on its own - it contains protein, fat, minerals and vitamins. It is delicious and can be eaten in more ways than one. This is just my interpretation of what she said, of course.)
Surprisingly though, I only have these two chocolate cooking books with me.

It made me think that since I have these books, perhaps I could cook based on these books and give my review of the recipes, ay? Maybe we can do it like 'Julie & Julia' sort of thing. I.AM.EXCITED! Watch out for a possible new tab on the website. We can call it 'Recipe Book Review'. How about that?
On a different note, yesterday I went to Mama Emma's (Rosemah Ibrahim) house, for a CAKNe (Cancer Associates & Kindred Network) - PPUKM programme of cooking class and lunch, hosted by Mama. Among the Masterchef Season 2 attenders yesterday were : Izyan (Masterchef Malaysia 2 Winner), Along (top 3), Eida (Top 12), Kak Arnee (Top 40), Bulan/Muhammad Ammar (Top 40) and myself.
This was my first time attending such programme. Mama showed a few recipes that are simple and time saving for the parents of children with cancer. On the menu were ; roasted chicken, butter rice, Mama's special baked potato and cupcakes. Eida, Along and Bulan showed these parents how to make pizza before which I overheard one one of the mothers said 'Yang ni kena salin betul-betul, semua orang suka ni'.
Unfortunately, I had to leave early but to me this was a good effort in bringing the parents and children together. I was surprised at how easy going these parents are. Before this I only stood on the medical side of the situation and I always imagined how difficult it would be for the family to learn that one of their family members has cancer. However seeing how things were yesterday, I knew that parents and Malaysians in general nowadays know how to live with this fact.
Of course, they know what cancerous illness is and they know what possible scenario could happen in the future but as for now, these children should be treated like every other children. To me it is important to make the children feel part of the society, not just as a 'cancer patient'.
Once again I would like to applause this beautiful network on their effort, and Mama for being such a generous host. May all your kind efforts be rewarded by Him. InsyaAllah.
