Macam kambing dah ni ...

... once in the united states i was in a university yang jauh dari halal meat source ... initially bersama malaysian students yang lain ... yang semuanya ikutlah usul imam di islamic centre tempat malaysian students berjamaah ... imam tu dari Jordan ... katanya boleh makan ayam dan daging yang beli kat supermarket tu because they are ayam daging slaughtered by ahli kitab ... so the arabs and the malaysian muslims kat universiti tu more or less makan ayam daging supermarket tulah ... halal kata imam so okay je tak payah sibuk nak ke another city about 90plus miles away to buy halal meat ...

the problem is i am orang kampung ulu ... konsep "geli" nya sangat mendalam ... ko cakaplah apa ... kalau tak sembelih macam mana orang kampung kito sembelih ... tak totolan (tertelan) kito do ...

so makan sayur jelah sepanjang almost one year ... tak susah juga sebab a lot of vegetarian options in the states ... i especially loved the vegetarian spaghetti ...

kadang kadang kakak seniors buat gathering masak lah sedap sedap ayam daging ... they knew i tak makan but one kakak friend said ... ambil lah kuahnya toksah ambil daging ... la cam mana tu ... daging tu berendam dalam kuah tu juga ... mana logiknye ni ... haiya ...

they said to me ... m.. ko ni dah macam kambing dah ni makan sayur je ... hahaha ... i said tak pe tak pe ... kalau makan termuntah karang lagilah susah ...

but by end of the year dah rasa semacam teringin sangat sangat sangat nak makan daging then i susahkan emak minta tolong hantar serunding daging ... alhamduliLLah hilang kempunan ... then tak lama lepas tu ada lah local muslim brother tu supply halal meat yang dia  bawa from that other city yang memang ramai muslims and muslim shops selling halal meat and supplies ...

kenapa pula terkenang kenang cerita lama ni ... alah sejak buah hati ni diserang gout ... apa lagi penuh lah dalam refrigerator tu sayur segala macam sayur dan ulam ... dah macam mini kedai sayur lah pula ...

sawi bunga, 

kailan

brocolli

bundles of lettuce

petola
bendi

red and green pepper

local parsley ... i am not sure why the label says local parsley ... nama sebenar not sure nak kena selidik ni ... i cakap to sidia tu, Prof Hasanah said coriander leaves good for detoxification ... so he bawalah this parsley ... but i am not sure if this is the same one ... tapi sedap je ... so hari hari lah makan ulam ni  ...

potato - bukan sayur - but dah macam part of sayur dah we all ...

lots of fresh young ginger

lots of fresh young turmeric thinly sliced je tak payah nak tumbuk tumbuk bila nak masak ... macam ulam lah kan ...
and oh yes ... asparagus ... he said mahalnya ... rm11.99 per small pack ... dalam 50 small stems tak tulis pun berapa gram kat pack tu ... sedap dan bagus khasiat okay lah ...  

begitulah ... dah macam kambing lah ni ... hahaha 

kalau suka kambing banyak lagi gambar di sini ... saya sangat suka kambing especially yang sudah mandi :)

update ...
i've found out that asparagus is rather high in purine that contributes to gout ... so tak beli dah ... although i love to eat it ... untuk saya sikit sikit je okay but not untuk Oghang Besar yang sakit ni ... ha bila cakap padanya about asparagus ni ... terus lah he said that's why i think the pain is not reducing ... la sikit je makan pun :)
