Baked Eggs
waktu gue dapat ide resep ini, jam 10 pagi, perut gue berteriak dengan kecepatan maksimum. food quotation by me.
"i'm not a fan of breakfast. i'm a fan of brunch,lunch,afternoon tea, dinner, supper and snacks time"
perut gue berteriak it's brunch time! B-R-U-N-C-H time! chew something!
dan secara impulsif pun gue mengangkat my lazy butt from the sofa and sprint to the kitchen.
gue demen nih masakan kaya gini, yang cuman tinggal cemplung-cemplung, enggak pake repot.
you will need :
4 eggs
1 buah daun bawang
1/2 bawang bombay
1 buah tomat
keju ( gue pake quickmelt, tp pake keju apa aja juga ok)
ramekins
mentega
* preheat oven dalam 160 drjt celcius
* potong bawang bombay,tomat, daun bawang dan keju kotak-kotak
* break 2 eggs dan campur semua!
*jangan lupa-oles ramekins dengan mentega agar tidak lengket, dan masukkan egg mixture
* break the other two eggs, hati-hati supaya kuningnya utuh
* dan pajang dipaling atas! jgn lupa sprinkle sum salt and pepper :)
* bake for 20 minutes or till done
enjoy fellas!

Bukunya Pak Bara
note ini dibuat dengan gue duduk di kursi tunggu dokter esp paru. ceritanya asma gue kemaren kumat, dan resep buat inhaler gue hilang. (i'm well trained to lose things)
sekarang jam 9.30, ada 26 pasien dan sekarang baru nomor 10. saya nomor 15, sudah datang dari jam 6.
bosen kuadrat, jangan tanya deh.
akhirnya gue beli buku digramed mall seberang. salah satunya adalah catatan dari balik dapur si tukang masak oleh Pak Bara Pattirawadjawane ( suer gue gak bisa nyebutnya)
aih, menghibur banget. bongkar aib nih, gue jarang banget nonton tipi indonesia. dimanjakan dengan adanya fasilitas kabel, tontonan tv gue cuman discovery channel and living, AFC, dan AXN ( i have a HUGE crush for House,M.D )
gue gak nonton berita, kecuali bokap yang nyetel ( follow kompasdotcom di twitter udah cukup, HAIL technology!)
sindrom ini diawali dengan kebencian gue sama shitnetron ( mind the language) yang enggak mutu dan enggak mendidik. sama bejibunnya acara gossip yang lagi,lagi, enggak mutu.
jadi, gue buta sama acara kuliner indonesia yang mutu, spt gula-gula,mak nyuss,ala chef dan lain-lain.
taunya nama gula-gula jg krn temen dulu suka nyebut, gue mah he-eh he-eh aja, hehehe
apalagi acara masak biasa pagi, sementara gue pagi sekolah, kuliah ( sebentar lagi! yay) dan weekend ga pernah bangun pagi.
kenapa gue beli buku ini? karena penasaran. malu dengan kebutaan gue sm wara-wirinya kuliner indonesia. dan buku ini, as i mentioned before, menghibur banget!
Pak Bara dengan lincah menceritakan kesehariannya memasak, makan. hari-hari demo masaknya di kota-kota seluruh indonesia, dari tidak ada fasilitas hotel pada non-office hour sampai pemandangan bromo yang indah
tapi yang paling penting, dalam buku ini kita bisa mengenal segelimpas dari kpribadian beliau yang rendah hati. beliau menolak dipanggil chef, dia hanya ingin dikenal sebagai tukang masak.
motivasi memasaknya murni dan tulus : membahagiakan orang lain
worth to buy, worth to read, worth to keep.
baca buku ini bisa jadi refreshing lalu semangat lagi masak dan tentu saja, mendokumentasikanyaa dong! :)
happy reading!

There She Goes...
the other half of PandA Cupcakes...
i wish you the very best M! :)
this is for you, from me, by E.E Cummings
i carry ur heart with me
i carry it in my heart, I am never without it.
anywhere i go, you go my dear
and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling.
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
here is the root of the root, and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life
which grows higher than a soul can hope or mind can hide
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart.
I carry your heart ( i carry it in my heart)
Out and About
for those who wonders, gmn sih ceritanya PandA Cupcakes?
well, maybe around two years ago, cupcake craze gets me and miss putri matahari.
we baked together, our friends love them so we started to sell the cupcake.
the name of PandA Cupcakes which stand for Putri and Andra Cupcakes udah didapet dari dulu-dulu, tapi tidak pernah diresmikan. terus, datanglah badai-badai yang naanya UAN, SAT, dan tes2 masuk universitas lainnya.
cupcake craze pun diput on hold.
satu juni kemarin, both of us need some extra cash for the holiday ( :p)
so we decided to sell some more cupcake! dan kita resmikan lah nama PandA Cupcakes :)
tapi apa mau dikata, an "i'll see you later" ( both of us refused to say goodbye) harus dikatakan, karena untuk mengejar cita-citanya miss putri matahari akan kuliah di luar Indonesia.
tapi PandA Cupcake akan terus ada, walaupun melangkah dalam baby step. and i promised miss putri matahari and myself untuk ngembangin PandA Cupcake jadi bigger, better :)
dalam kesempatan ini juga gue ingin berterima kasih buat yang selama ini jadi pendukung PandA Cupcakes, semuaaa teman teman costumerku yang baik baik, semua saran dan kritiknya :) we wouldn't be able to last without you all!
saran dan kritik yang membangun sangat diterima mengingat umur PandA Cupcake masih sangat muda.
please email ke panda.cupcake@windowslive.com
bunch of thanks!

Cupcake Class
duh, kelas udah lebih dari seminggu baru diblog skrg -.- lazyness get over me this week, keterlaluan banget,
doesn't look like panda at all. ahaha
kitchen udah manggil manggil, but my butt stayed on lazy couch in front of tv, or wander around with friends @ mall.
anyway, last week gue ikut kelas lg, kelas cupcake diloyang.
pertamanya kita nonton chef wijaya demo masak, dan setelah cupcakenya matang, kita praktek dekorasi ( the FUN PART!!
chef wijaya ngajarin dekorasinya dengan buttercream, chocolate ganache,and fondant. this was my false attempt bikin panda dr fondant.
doesn't look like panda at all. ahaha
ibu-ibu temen les (i'm the youngest, again. duh)
