I hear those words from R2's lips every now and then LOL!!! You see, normally he eats a normal meal once a day. In the morning and evening he'd drink coffee with a sweet bun, a piece of sweet bread, or a slice of cake (depending on whichever I buy/make for him). During the night while watching TV together, though, sometimes he can't resist temptation, esp. if I've make him something that he likes. On the other hand, I'm someone who eats small portions of food MANY times a day (esp. when I'm working, I tend to eat more depending on what kind of shift it is - if I have to use more physical energy at work, then I'll eat more).
One thing that I like preparing for the both of us is chili tuna puff pastry. So I just have to buy a package of frozen puff pastry from the supermarket as well as Pirkka Tonnikalaa chilikastikkeessa (a can of chili tuna). Then I'll take out the frozen puff pastry and wait until they're soft, cut them into slices, and just spread the chili tuna on top of the slices, put them in the oven until they're brown. The chili tuna is already hot enough and delicious enough so that I don't even have to add any spices there. Easy peasy! So whenever I make something like this (or other types of snacks that we both like), he'd sometimes tell me, "Honey, you make me fat!" LOL!!!
The other day he joked to me that whenever we travel, he'd find this type of trouble: I tend to get hungry more easily ('coz of my eating habit), so we end up eating more often than he'd like to eat, BUT more often than not, he doesn't want to just sit there and drink something if I'm eating something in front of him.
So he said, "Let's say we travel somewhere, then as usual you'd get hungry more often than me and I'd have to eat, too. And then I'd try to tell myself that I'll compensate the eating with walking some more...BUUUUTTT then because of all the walk, you'll get hungry even more....ARRRGGHHH!!! Honey, you make me fat!!!"
ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL...what a vicious cycle! :-D :-D :-D I LOVE growing old with him! He makes me laugh! :-D

On Friday there'll be another birthday party to attend as I told you. Pirita's Mom is throwing her 40th birthday party. A few days ago Arttu just told me that it would be a kind of snack potluck party where guests could bring some snack. Gladly he had told me that early so that I could think about what to bring. I asked him if I should bring some sweet or salty snack or appetizer, and he replied that it would probably be better if I could bring something salty.
I thought that it'd be nice to introduce some Indonesian snack HA HA HA HA HA HA...There are several options in my mind: risoles or perkedel (potato cutlets). I've never made risoles before and I know it's a bit complicated to make since I have to prepare so many things, so potato cutlets would be the easier option. However, I'm not going to deep fry them in oil. The healthier version of making potato cutlets would be to bake them in the oven he he he he he...and Arttu LOVED my potato cutlets, so I think I'm going to bake them to bring to the party.
However, I'm also tempted to try making risoles. Risoles are small snacks filled with either beef or chicken fillings with cheese and sometimes a slice of boiled eggs and well, you can add anything you like ha ha ha ha...But what's tough about making it is that I have to make the wrappers first, then the filling, then put the filling in the middle of each wrapper, wrap them, then roll them on white eggs and then roll them on a pile of bread crumbs, THEN deep fry them. Phew!!!
I haven't tried making risoles yet, so I'm kinda craving for them he he he he...Hmmm...maybe I should try making risoles, as well, but only for us and my in-laws HUE HE HE HE HE HE HE HE...
Dang, I just made myself HUNGRY!!!! *drool* Anyway, I'd better have lunch first and then blog-hop before I go to the supermarket to buy the ingredients to make the potato cutlets. I wonder how many I should bring, though, since I don't know how many people will be coming to the party. Maybe I'd better send an email to ask them about it. However, I'm sure unlike Indonesian birthday parties, there would probably only be around 10 people max. in the party HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...
