~~Yummy Banana WORM Bread ~~

Tired of gardenia bread roll every morning???
Why not change into a unique and healthier diet ?
Banana worm bread for breakfast , anyone?
(calls for 1/4 cup dry-roasted army worms - yum!),
Eating insects or worms may not be a taboo anymore in many parts of the world as a lot of country practice this eating habit ( eg : Thailand , Philippines ...) as insects contain protein and other nutrients that are good for us.

Unfortunately, i do not think i will be frying any worms ( or insects ) in my frying pan or bake 'em in my oven for anytime soon ...(.more likely...never?!)
For those brave-soul out there, check the 'special' recipes below :

Mealworm Chocolate Chip Cookies

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup oats

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1/4 cup mealworm flour

Cream butter well, then mix in sugar, egg, vanilla flour, salt, baking soda, chocolate chips, oats, and mealworm flour. Drop batter by the teaspoonful on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees farenheit. This recipe doesn't have much in the way of palpable insect content, but is an excellent way to introduce others (or yourself!) to entomophagy. Even many rather squeamish people will try mealworm cookies, since the cookie format doesn't look "gross" to most people, and since it is rather difficult to actually taste the mealworms, though they enrich the cookie with a somewhat nutty flavor and extra protein.

Ant Brood Tacos

2 tablespoons butter or peanut oil

1/2 pound ant larvae and pupae

3 serrano chilies, raw, finely chopped
1 tomato, finely chopped
Pepper and Cumin, to taste
Oregano, to taste
1 handful cilantro, chopped
Taco shells, to serve

Heat the butter or oil in a frying pan and fry the larvae or pupae. Add the chopped onions, chilies, and tomato, and season with salt. Sprinkle with ground pepper, cumin, and oregano, to taste. Serve in tacos and garnish with cilantro. (Not living in an area exceptionally prolific with ants, I have never been able to try this recipe. But it sounds perfectly delicious!

Some most be wondering, where can we get all those 'custom-made' ingredient? Do we have to go dig 'em up the the back yard ? Well, since we can get like EVERYTHING online, i found a list of places to buy edible insects online. You can buy everything from Roasted Pregnant Crickets to Cheddar Cheese-Flavored Worms to Scorpion Vodka ("this special triple distilled vodka is infused with a real farm raised Heterometrus Spinifer scorpion").



Here i quote one the famous line from a friend :
' an ordinary life is a crime'



so guys , Bon appetit!

The Day the Cars Stood Still

Toppled Crane Causes Traffic Nightmare in Penang

GEORGE TOWN: A 30-tonne hydraulic crane toppled over at the 3rd kilometre of the Penang Bridge, causing one of the bridge’s worst traffic snarls.

Roads leading to the bridge on the island and mainland were choked with traffic as thousands of motorists reported late for work while many missed their flights.....

The Star Newspaper

Behold Malaysia's most expensive, latest movie blockbuster, and also the most anticipated disaster movie ever filmed right here in Malaysia, " The Day The Cars Stood Still, the obliterating crane at the bridge "... 100% locally made!

"We spent approximately RM50 million to produce this movie, and you may ask where we get the money from? Its from your taxes!" says the producing director, Mr. Samad.

Superb stunts and effects of the toppled crane on the bridge. Special scenes include bridge tremor, earthquake, shaky bridges and cars, and many more!

"We are definitely not interested in conventional ideas, so we love to try something different... we did not use any CGI for the action scene, but we used actual models which only those lucky ones get to witness it this morning." says the effect director, Mr. Beng.

The story..... Bakar a village boy who has completed his high school studies in Kampung Berang and intended to migrate to George Town, Penang's Capital City for a job in order to support his family. While he was on the bus on the way to George Town via the Penang Bridge, a giant crane toppled in the middle of the bridge. As the cars stood still and the bridge began to divide itself, survivals struggle to escape the havoc. So, can Bakar cross the bridge, cheat death and reach GeorgeTown safely and become the next millionaire? Or return back to the mainland and suffer!

"We assembled the best scriptwriter for this movie.... errrmm we got it from Cicakman... ermmmm we got it from ehhh Scenario... we also got one supporting character from "The Day The Earth Stood Still" so he can tell us his experience... That's how we get inspired to come up with that great plot!" says Chief Scriptwriter, Mr. Danny.

"I actually came out with the logical idea, what if Bakar took the ferry? And Mr. Danny fired me right after that...." says Ex-Assistant Scriptwriter, Mr. Oliver.

Meet the Jumpers

BN : We Have the Majority
PUTRAJAYA: Barisan Nasional said it commands the majority needed to form the government in Perak while Pakatan Rakyat persisted in its attempts to dissolve the state assembly and call for fresh elections to stave off a Barisan take-over.

At a press conference here Wednesday, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said he would be seeking an audience with Sultan Azlan Shah in a day or two to inform him of Barisan’s ability to form the new state government.

(The Star Newspaper)

The situation is bad, a mass amount of Proton Perdana Executives are on their way towards the Perak Fortress, and it is only a matter of time, matter of action, on what the Perak Chief Minister can do to defend!

Secretary : Sir Sir!!! Urgent news... they seized our state gate and they are on their way...! They are going to siege through our fortress!
Minister : What?! How is that even possible?
Secretary : Possible sir! Some of our MPs have crossed over to our enemies! This is bad!!!
Minister : Oh yeah... lets see about that! Bring out the bucks and buy them back, and buy an additional 3 more MPs from them!

1 hour later, the transaction passes on

Secretary : It is working! It's working!!! They are falling back!
Minister : You see... i know some day our tin mine at Kinta will come in handy..

1 hour later, the transaction passes on again!

Secretary : This is bad... the enemy has bought all the MPs we bought together with additional of 20 more MPs, they have the federal government backing up! This is not fair!
Minister : Well yeah! Use up all resources, from Kinta, Taiping, Pasir Salak, and anything at all, channel them into buying all possible MPs from the whole Malaysia... i ain't gonna lose this game!

3 hours later, the huge transaction passes on!

MPs : We are all here to support you to continue governing Perak... we didnt have confident with our former party.
Minister : Yes i know that very well.. go on make a press conference, tell them what you feel! your aspiration in this new party!

1 hour later
another transaction went by...
then at the press conference...
Today, the Barisan government has reported that they had the majority, a spur 1 hour just after the Pakatan Rakyat announced that they had more MPs than what they initially had to sustain the power in Perak.

The Jumper! Special beings elected as Member of Parliament who possesses the power to appear in any party at all... and we got some comments from the public!

Professor Harold : I am not too sure how the Jumpers appear in different different party.. perhaps their genes were genetically modified.
Uncle near Masjid Jamek : Aiyah.. the Jumpers are surely motivated by money.. nothing more than that.. look at me i am rushing to meet my client... don't you think i am motivated by money?
Auntie in KLCC : The Jumpers are the supreme being, they have to be caught, tortured, until they spit out their capability to teleport between parties!
School Boy : I wanna be a Jumper some day! They are so cool...
and of course... we made it on time for the press conference. This are what the Jumper capable MPs that were said to have hopped to the Pakatan Rakyat have to say...with their moniker of course!

Jumping MP :
I think i regret joining the other party, i mean what benefit i get... and i know my heart will always be with the former party..
Hopping MP :
I didn't like the toilet here.. so... uh huh... i am going back.. tataz!
Swapping MP :
I will serve the people for money... and i think my decision is clearly rationale.
Skipping MP :
I attended the Chinese New Year open house for this party quite recently, didn't quite like it... their food is not my forte... i am going back.
Teleporting MP :
Who said i jumped to this party? Who said? I was merely strolling around the building appreciating the wonderful architecture... i am so disappointed with those accusations.
Burrowing MP :
Ahh.. the Pakatan Rakyat got free food or not? No... got free petrol or not? No... Then i am sure i made it clear... i didn't intend to jump at all.. it was merely a mistake. I am with my party now! And i mean it!
Dreamy MP :
"I was paid to switch to Pakatan Rakyat" (I was also paid to switch back, but not telling =P)
Switching MP :
Party hopping reminds me of Counterstrike, where you can switch between Counter Terrorist and Terrorist. Obviously you wanna join the winning team right?
Portalling MP :
At the very hour i hopped to the Pakatan, i felt something strange in me, sort of like a sense of duty for the people (in mind: my house, my car, my luxuries, will they be secured?) , i felt a sense of going back to my home party... and now i am.. i am really grateful!
Dimension MP :
Don't get me wrong... but my photo on the Pakatan website is horrible.. so i switch back.. fair enough?
MPs in unison against Pakatan : We are the Jumper MPs.. leave the office at once!

The state of Perak is in bad shape, anything can happen any minute.... who is the legitimate Chief Minister? Who is the one actually having the say or decide who should serve the people? Time will tell...

KLIA Chain North South East West Plan Extension

Decision on Labu LCCT Plan Soon
KUALA LUMPUR: The decision on AirAsia’s proposal to build a new low-cost carrier terminal (LCCT) costing RM1.6bil in Labu, Negri Sembilan will be known in two to three weeks’ time, said Transport Minister Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat.

“Actually, the Government has not made a decision on the matter. What is important is that all the fact-finding and details arising will be scrutinised,” he told Bernama after attending a Chinese New Year dinner function organised by the MCA, here, last night......

(The Star Newspaper)

Assistant : Sir! Air Asia has proposed for an airport at the East of our main airport which is at Labu, and they call it KLIA East @ Labu! They are using our KLIA name when it is 7km away, this is a breach of our brand name! What should we do?! This is a threat to our main airport and also Malaysia Airlines! It will bring doom to our revenue flow!

Transport Minister : Huh really?! This is bad! Air Asia is getting cheeky nowadays with their statistical prediction, what makes them think that they can beat our Malaysia Airlines?! Anyhow e have to do something... what if one day they request for more airports like KLIA WEST @ Banting? KLIA NORTH @ Putrajaya? KLIA SOUTH @ Sungai Pelek? or worse... south east, south west, north east, north west?! and..and... they will propose for another KLIA EAST on the new KLIA EAST if it's really built, then we might even have KLIA EAST NORTH, KLIA EAST SOUTH, and so on!! This is terrible... it's going to be a chain effect! Then our KLIA Central will become another tourist destination!!!

Assistant : Not only that sir! I can forsee the future that more and more airports will be built in Malaysia and it will also jeopardize all of our other transport industries. Then we will all travel around using planes and copters! This has got to stop!

Transport Minister : But isn'tthat a good idea? It is a public transport right? At least less people will opt for cars and instead use this air transport! Then we won't have to crack our head on building those trains around Klang Valley right?!

Assistant : No Sir...have you forgetten? If we do not allow Proton to grow. Master Dr.M will chew our asses! And if we don't put trains moving around Klang Valley, foreigners will think that our city is undeveloped!

Transport Minister : Oh yeah.. i almost forgot about that... what should we do now?!

Assistant : Relax sir, i have actually came out with a solution at the minute i listened to that press conference. What we have to do right now is that we allow them to build KLIA East @ Labu. Let it grow, and as you know our Malaysia Airports' staff are professionals, i am pretty sure they can stage accidents around. Then we just flock in 4-5 staffs for some rating evaluation or stuff like that, at that time we set up the trap and sabotage their facilities! From then onwards, i will leave it to you sir! You are the boss!

KLIA Complete Master Plan by 2020, "An airport in every city"

"Traveling via road will be a thing of history when every city in Malaysia have an airport with the North South East West Plan Extension of KLIA"

"Now everyone can fly anywhere!" - Datuk Tony Fernandes

What is KLIA East @ Labu? It is a proposed international airport to handle Air Asia's future capacity. Should it be built or not?
