The Crappy (or crabby) Story

Monday morning.

Still feeling crappy after saying goodbye to my family last nite (I forgot to wear a waterproof mascara and ended up looking like panda yang cacat, much to the amusement of a Menteri who couldn’t stop starring at me with kesian smile). Found nothing on astro dat is worth watching, so I feel like cooking something just to ease my mind. Went to the market and bought groceries and a pair of live crab! Tis is to balas dendam since I didn’t get to eat fresh crab during my stay in KK coz all the pilaks pun sibuk mau beraya juga.

Then hubs called and said his golf gonna be draggy sebab ujan and won’t be able to make it for lunch. So I decided to cook 1 crab only for myself and cook another 1 for him later.

A steam crab with ginger n sesame oil, in superior soy sauce. Mmmmmmmm…. so yummy

When he returned I asked him if he wants to eat a fat, fresh crab and excitedly drag him to the kitchen to show my new live ‘pet’.

And its GONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE………….

Demmit demmit demmit…

Ok la my fault also. Should have closed the container. I would have run for my life also kalau tau akan masuk dalam cooking pot any time soon.

We both just laugh and I asked “how la, kena cari ka?”

He was to tired to play hide and seek with the crab and said “nanti dia kluar la bila dia lapar”

Which takes about 2 days, finally found right smack under our sofa… dead

There goes my RM9.00!

Wei, nda bebauk ka ketam tu. Still bulih makan lagi ba evento suda dead. Sadap tu. Anyway, bila lagi mau buat open house ni??? And don try to serve us ketam aaa. BTW, aku tau kenapa ketam tu mati bawah sofa? Sebab kau sudah himpit dia masa kau duduk atas sofa tu a.k.a crash to death. At least the crab died under a 'comfortable situation'. Next time, gantung dia supaya nda bulih lari...gitix!!!

Guxxy: Aku rasa ketam tu baru mati, atau ntawa2 ikan kelemasan dihimpit bontotku yang gigantic ini. Open house? bulih baa... as long as u don't mind eating basung sama kicap jak!

Ayoi: Beb, kt US takkan takde exotic seafood? Nak try dat Atlantic giant crab.. seminggu x habis

Riq: Ini adalah akibat kempunan coz SOMEONE didn't buy me dat petunia pickle bottom diaper bag coz dat SOMEONE got lost in NYC which he claimed to be his kampong. If d baby ask why mummy use ugly, non-fashionable diaper bag... I'll blame u

Giti : i dont mind eating basung with kicap. Ala-ala pilax, well my kampung dakat jak ngan semporna. Banyak Exotic food. Don forget putu', ok.

Ayoi : You can come to my kampung whenever u drop by ke Sabah nanti to enjoy the exotic seafoods. Mau makan telur belangkas??? (What's that???)

Qirzah : I bet NYC takda exotic food tapi ada exotic dance jak (which i bet will fulfil your appetite). Maaf zahir batin...Hehehe.

"Gambit" (uwek), kat Buenos Aires pun ada exotic dancing. Dah muak dah tengok semua tu. Macam2 ada.

so much so, aku sendiri dah mengajar . . . jeng jeng jeng. NO COMMENTS!

Tapi exotic foods kat negara Amerika Selatan ni haram nak jumpa.

Putu'... hahahaha... fav food bekas 'big boss'. Sememangnya ambal. Btw, hari raya bapaku terjumpa di open house, tersipu2 malu dia... tu la, banyak dosa sama aku kan!

Qirzah : I don believe kat sana takde exotic seafood sedangkan melambak exotic dance(r)(s)(rs)..or whatever. Zip my mouth.

Gitix : Tu la, banyak dosa sama urang Kunak jugak. Ambal na kapehek.

DG: kat sini mmg la ada seafood, nama pun area New England yg terkenal dgn seafood, esp lobster yg aku dan eriq tak sempat mau makan. Tapi nothing beats local taste buds.

gambit: nanti kalau ada plan mau pegi Sabah, mesti aku bagitau. aku ni kau letak apa saja, abis ke bedal. Membujur lale, melintang patah. Budak Boy la katakan..
