Away for Lebaran

How time flew like blink of the eyes. We’re now only one week away from Lebaran. Oh, well. Will I see Ramadhan again next year?

I’m gonna be away from the internet world for about 2 weeks, to help my sister-in-law facing her last pregnancy days and continue with celebrating Idul Fitri with my big family at my eldest brother’s house.

Happy Idul Fitri to all muslim in the world.
Once again I pled guilty for all my mistakes, and asking for your apology for everything I did that might hurt any soul. The fault is mine and mine alone. May Allah purify our soul. May we reborn as a new human being. *sigh*

About the cookies in the jars:

Espresso Delight, recipe from Vania
I dissolved the coffee in 1 Tbsp of water, and added up 1-2 Tbsp flour to balance the moisture.
Kaasstengels, recipe from Sedap Sekejap
Used 100 g fresh salted butter and 25 gr margarine. Substituted edamer with parmesan.
Nastar (Pineapple Cookies), recipe from Fatmah Bahalwan, posted by Rita
Chocolate Surprise, recipe from Santap Magazine, posted by Anastasia
She doesn’t have the recipe on her post though, you might want to ask her to put it up on her blog

Irish Soda Bread for the World Bread Day

Isn’t it great there’s a day dedicated for bread? Zorra is hosting this event, go visit her blog for more about this day and –of course– the round up.

I love yeast bread. And for this special day, I decided to try an ancient recipe. So from this ancient book, I chose Buttermilk Rolls, which sounds simple but hearty. I started preparing the flour, milk, salt, then the disaster began. I was soooo sure I bought a box of instant yeast last week. But there was no yeast anywhere in my kitchen cupboard! It’s almost Maghrib time and I have to prepare for breaking (from fasting). So I told Agus, the helper, to go to the nearest grocery store after maghrib and buy a box of instant yeast. Phewh, so close.

Mixology Monday VIII: Exotic - Red Mystery

Exotic. To my husband, this word means “food or drink that is served in an extremely minimum amount of quantity”. LOL.

To me, exotic means “a journey to the unknown”. That’s why I love pure adventure game, which by the way, has nothing to do with food whatsoever

Anyhow, Meeta of What’s For Lunch Honey? is hosting this event called Mixology Monday, coming up to its 8th round already. So watch her blog for the round up.

When Meeta decided to chose Exotic as the theme, I suddenly remember the fruits I bought the other day. The unknown fruits.
