Hi Friends!

I hope your morning didn't start with a jump scare. Mine did. My youngest called me up to his room and said he'd like to show me something, and I wasnt thinking. Yep. We were watching a nice clip of scenery, and suddenly a zombie jumped on the screen. Scared the crap out of me 😅 He said and I quote, how could you fall into one of the oldest tricks there ever was, and I said, my motherly brain when it's morning time, is filled with chores and don't forget this, and don't forget that, of important things to do for throughout the day 😅

Silly boy

For today's recipe. It's a fried bread from East Borneo, Wadai Untuk-Untuk. A mouthful I know, like literally 😍
