sunday at home

breakfast: pancakes, hot choco and hot tea. i remember this recipe, so i asked sami to make half of the pancake batter into crepes batter :P easy to do, just add (for example) one tablespoon of milk for one tablespoon of batter :) 

and this is how my ham and egg square crepes turned out to be.. 

geez looked awfully embarasing, no? compared to kate's here. lol. will try to make this again someday :)) picture taken from here.

lunch: fresh home-made pasta with garlic buttered prawn by sami :)

tea time: lemon crepes, recipe from MSL Indonesia January 2011.

tea party

invited the girls for a tea party yesterday afternoon at my place. unfortunately only 3 (including me) of 8 made it. while i prepared for at least 4-5 girls :) so in the end, we were really full having that many food ;) and they also managed to bring some home for their loved ones ;)

i did some baking and cooking with a little help of sami on the day before. sami helped with the cupcakes (using anna olson's recipe) and the chili garlic paste for the lumpiahs. i made the brownies with this recipe but i use less confectioners sugar on the frosting. and the strawberry frosting for the cupcakes was inspired by this. i didn't put any butter but cream, iced water and fresh blended strawberries instead. much lighter. both were good. the brownies was thick and chewy,  while the fresh strawberry frosting made the cupcakes a huge success ;)

the lumpiah was a creation of sami and i some time ago, while the sandwich recipe was taken from this previous post.

i also made chocolate pudding (my mom's recipe) layered with milk-biscuits and vanilla custard to pour over (both the biscuits and custard doesn't shown on the pic).

hello sunshine!

yup, it's been raining throughout a day for almost a week. but this morning the sun shows up! yay! perfect time for doing heavy laundry ;) 


breakfast at home together with nataya; i had grilled cheese sandwich ala Jeannette Ordas of Everybody likes Sandwiches (found at poppytalk), while nataya prefers them without tomatoes nor onion, only cheese and butter. goodies for starting the day :)
