Beautiful Jacinthes

Oh la la... Beautiful flower and beautiful girl...

My daughter was very happy when her Jacinthes became so so beautiful. "It smells very good too, Mama", she said. And we did not want to lose the moment.

La Neige

This is something that I missed. I forgot to post this page in Flair and in here. Better late than never... :)

The photos were taken during our visit to my parents-in-law for Easter Holiday. And, the day became very special for us because finally my daughter could see the snow. Oui, she never touched it before.

The snow on Easter Day, not on Christmas Day... The first snow we met during our stay here.

Boulangerie

I got an assignment from my language class to find out some breads, cakes and anything that are sold in the 'boulangerie and 'patisserie'..

What is the difference between a 'baguette' and a 'flûte'? Je ne sais pas... What is the 'pain complet'? The 'pain blanc'? Une ficelle? Oh la la...! Many things that I need to learn here... But it was interesting for me.

Herewith the boulangerie page to be shared with you...

Welcome Spring!

I can not express how much I love to see flowers everywhere now. Welcome spring!

I enjoyed the beautiful views when my family spent days at my parents'-in-law's city. My daughter? She could not wait to play around. Sunshine was nice, petite flowers were cute, green grass was beautiful...

My First Cab Pendant

I tried hard to create this pendant. Three hours of painful fingers...

I bought the materials from Wire Scuplture and I received the home business package 2 days after the order thru the internet. I watched the DVD to learn, after that I tried to wrap a cameo. But I failed! I tried again with a cab and with the technique from Tumbleweed Glass Studio. Hmm... I think it is better for me to wrap cabochon than cameo. See the result, not bad, right?

I want to try again and again. Will not give up!

Sisters

My daughter and my niece, they have a special relationship, similar like sisters. I found this foto and then I thought about making a nice scrapbook page.

Pinky Flowery

We had a good time during the winter holiday in my parents-in-law's house. Even though my daughter got a chicken pox (varicella), still we could enjoy the days and visit some nice places.

Turkey Rica-rica

Really wanted to eat Chicken Rica-rica, one traditional food from Sulawesi (Celebes). But since we followed Blood Type Diet (BTD), we had to avoid eating much chicken. Donc, we changed it with Turkey. Not bad...

Please find the recipe as follows:

Ingredients

• 500 g turkey (or, 4 medium pieces)
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 4 garlics, chopped and crushed
• 3 cm ginger, finely chopped
• 1 red paprika, crush and leave the seeds
• a half tea spoon of Chili powder
• 1 cube chicken broth
• 2 lemon grass, finely chopped
• 3 lime leaves
• 1 table spoon of tomato sauce
• 1 table spoon of chili sauce
• a half tea spoon of Kencur

But first, marinade the turkey for 30 minutes with:

• 1 tea spoon of salt
• 2 table spoons of lime juice
• 4 glasses of water

After you finish to marinade, put the turkey and all ingredients together in the pan, and then cook for around 1 hour. Voila! It is ready.

My friend put all ingredients (except the turkey) into a blender to make a paste before she cooked it together with the turkey. I think it is a better way. But too bad that I do not have a blender. So, I just chopped and chopped....

Usually, Rica-rica food is spicy and hot. Since I had to modify the recipe to follow my family taste, so I made it not too hot. And, for cooking, some people tend to put it into the oven than cook it in the pan. Hmm... how about mixing both ways? First, in the pan, then into the oven? I might try it someday.

Time for Crêpe

The first time my husband and I made crêpe. It was not too difficult but the crêpe was not perfect either... haha. Anyway, our daughter loved it so much.

Borobudur Temple

Indonesia has many wonderful places to see. One of them is Borobudur Temple, located in Central Java. It is the biggest Budhist Temple in the world. Even though its condition is not the same as previous years (especially after the earth quake in 2006), it is still magnificent.
