Durian Denver - Mengidam punya pasal!

Ok..those who know me...knew that I'm Durian maniac. Mmg boleh hadap satu guni durian dan makan tanpa henti sampai habis ahaks! Oleh kerana skang musim durian kat Malaysia ...terus terang ckp mmg rasa nak balik kalo teringat kat Durian ahah! Tambah plak smlm telefon my sis, she did mentioned about it and officemates did upload gambo2 diorg melantak durian kat opis..ohhhh...saya sangat lah sakit hati.

Untuk mengubat luka hati yang lara tak dapat mkn durian makanya i do what i do best - find sources on the net! Asking Pakcik Google where can i get durian kat denver ni dan resultnyer sangat lah worth it! Ahahah! I found out that there's another Asian market that we never knew it exist in Denver that sell durian.

So tanpa berlengah mengajak my hubby pergi ricky kedai tu. Dengan bantuan Makcik Garmin, kitaorg dpt jumpa kedai tu, it;s about 15-20min  drive dari rumah. Masuk2 je kedai of cos lah durian yang di cari dahulu. Pergi kat tempat buah2..hemmm tade pon. Sure bukan musim n manelah nak tau musim durian bile kat US nih kan? Nangka ade lah. Takpe maybe tade rezeki. Next time kite cuba lagi.

Alang2 dah sampai kedai yg jual brg2 asian nih..beli lah groceries yg da nk abis kat umah. I beli Milo..kilang JB, pastu biskut Khong Guan and Julies bersepah tp tak beli pon sbb tak heran tgk biskut us lagi bes hahah! Pastu jumpa Ribena made in Malaysia too..beli sbb mimin suke tp mahal gk la $9.99. Sekali skali ok la, ribena dah tergolong dlm minuman exotic ahaks!  We found few other thing yg tak jual kat other asian mart we went before.

Iszad n mimin tour dengan shopping cart to the other aisle. Me jln2 sensorg sbb diorg tak kuasa nk tunggu i belek satu2 brg. As jalan2 from one aisle to another..sampailah the other side of kedai, frozen area, brg2 fishcake, fishball and few other things yang kaum2 che je mkn..termasuk kaki cik bab.  Tu dah biasa tgk dah. Da tade perasaan kalo tgk pon. Tgk2 lagi skali kan i saw something that soooooooooooo familiar to me, kale hijau2 tan, pastu ade duri2. Hemmm...takanlah mende alah ni duduk kat area frozen food? Or is it me having hallucination of durian sbb craving kan? Owhh tidak2! I said to myself, cuba pegang dulu mende tu..kalo tercucuk tgn dengan duri tu makanya bukan halusinasi ..tapi BENAR itu DURIAN hahahah! As i touch it yup..tidak syak lagi itu durian yang ku cari! Kesiankan kat I? Do i sound pathetic gile bile dpt jumpa durian? Owh pedulik lah apa org ckp, yg penting i got my durian!

I angkat pilih2 bau durian mmg tade langsung sbb it was frozen kat situ tak tau lah dh berapa bulan. From far i saw iszad n mimin...hahahah!  i angkat durian and show it to them ahaks! Iszad gelak ngn said..."papa ingat mama carik apa kat area ni...tadi papa dah lalu kat sini tapi tak perasan pon ada durian hahahaha!" See ketemu juga..ade jodoh hehe! Harga satu biji $8, mmg exotic sungguh. I bought 2 bijik, nanti kalo tak abih makan boleh buat bubur kacang durian...emmm sedap nyer. Sampai gk hajat. Ok enuf story. Layann pic. Walopon tak sefresh durian kat dusun but what do you expect? Better than takde langsung kan?

Tgk pada rupa mcm durian tembaga ..tak kisahlah tembaga ke perak..janjik durian!

Since it was frozen, we have to wait overnight baru boleh bukak dgn senang.

Hemmmm jom kite mkn durian! Rase cam eskrem sbb ade some part masih sejok!

I'm almost done! Hurry up!

I;ve been spending few days back try to complete my to-sew-list but end up adding more to-sew-item in that list and some item in the first batch has to be neglected due to it's priority. I believe it's a sign that my labor will begin soon hahah! It's the nesting urge that's what they call it. Let me share a bit what i've accomplished so far! Here's list  from previous entry:

• Convert all 6 bumGenius to snap button - Done!
• Jahit barut for baby - Almost there, kain dah potong into sizes tinggal jahit.
• Potong kaki seluar of few pants that I bought at Ross Pjg sgt dho.- Done!
• Jahit 2 baby pouch - Not yet. 
• Jahit baju kurung raya for Mimin - Kain da beli tp blom potong. Sempat ker?
• Make a receiving blanket for baby - Hah beli aje lah melor oi!
• One blanket spare blanket. (Papa nk pilih kain kat Joann) - Tangguh dulu tak penting sgt.
• DIY another 6 cloth diapers... (beli je kalo tak sempat haha!) - Dah selamat outsource kat GBW 10 cd!

 Converted to snap with Ooga Booga engraved cap.

Additional to-sew-list: 

Glider cushion makeover - Owh so inspired by this tutorial and lihatlah hasil cushion baru yang tak seberapa itu hahaha! First time on buat upholstery. Ni sume gara2 esok nk nursing sambil dok kat glider, insyaAllah!. Glider tu beli kat kids consignment store je.

Diaper bag - Dok survey diaper bag, jatuh hati betul dengan beg kat Etsy store - Watermelon Wishes, tp upah jahit nyer aje $82, see how ppl value their creativity and workmanship. Tabik spring beb. Now i wonder those yg. amik upah jahit bag tapi charges nyer murah, pls my dear sewist friend, you're producing one of a kind item and bukan buat massive production. Pls. don't under value your skills, time, energy and have a very strict QC with ur handmade. So this is my as is yg tak berapa as is hahah! Boleh lah utk pakai sendiri.

Lining for basket - Last month i bought 2 bakul kat thrift store, $1-$2 each. Thrift store ni kedai yg jual brg2 2nd hand yg ppl donate pastu hasil jualan disalurkan ke charity centre. So byk la brg2 dari baju, perabot, brg2 dapo, toys, electrical appliances n mcm2 lah. I found a fleece from Joann remnant section for $3.50 that just nice to go as lining for the basket. This project inspired from this tutorial at Sew! Mama! Sew! Boleh la isi cd, insert and baby stuff. Planned to get few more basket.

So yg penting dan perlu segera is barut baby and to make few baby wipes from leftover flannel that i bought utk buat barut. Skang try to be more green haha! re-usable baby wipes, cloth diaper..yada..yada. The rest think can wait. Nanti dah siap will upload pic here.

*Owh planning to add materials to make cloth diaper like PUL, Zorb, Cotton Velour, Organic Bambo stuff, cute cotton interlock print to my shop soon. Any takers? We'll see...
