Kitchen stories/Pregnancy cravings -cucur udang

Ever since I've been pregnant, my food wants have decreased to a point where BF complains that he doesn't get fed anymore.

Don't get me wrong, I still cook but my appetite has gone down so much that I can't even spicy food anymore, leaving BF to eat what I've cooked - leftovers that could last days. I have been fortunate not to get any morning sickness at all, it's just that I don't feel like eating anymore.

Now that I am in my 2nd trimester, I find my appetite slowly making a comeback but it's more towards my mum's cooking. Unfortunately, living a whole continent away doesn't help which means I have no option but try to replicate her dishes, with her recipes. My mum however has never been one to stick to recipes - preferring to dabble with a lil bit of this and a lil bit of that. Never a good thing for a novice like yours truly.

I have been pretty successful in my attempts tho - apparently I am also quite handy with adjusting recipes on the fly so the kitchen stories has grown.

Today's attempt was cucur udang :)

I am - in the family way!

I have been keeping this news quiet for some time. Perhaps because it is still something am getting my head around but also because it it's going to impact how things fare for the rest of my/our lives. 

It was a bit of shall I or shall I not blog about this but it will be good to have a diary of sorts to jot down my up and downs as I get used to the fact that I have something growing in me for the next 5 months - yes - I am 4 months pregnant!
