Cooking time with Sena…^^

pitachu — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 10:33:13 +0000

Selama winter vacation kemarin kami sekeluarga menghabiskan waktu di rumah saja. Suhu udara di luar lumayan dingin meskipun kadang matahari bersinar cerah. Sena masih batuk dan pilek. Jadi tiap hari Sena dan bunda maen balok, mobil-2an, baca-2 buku, nonton youtube, ngedance dan lari-2 puter-2 rumah, sedangkan ayah sibuk dengan dede ikan dan thesisnya. Kadang-2 bunda harus pergi ke kampus untuk experiment atau kami berjalan-2 ke perpustakaan kota Delft sambil belanja mingguan di supermarket.

Lalu bunda punya ide, bagaimana kalo Sena dan bunda berkolaborasi bikin kue, yang Sena suka dan tentu saja mudah murah meriah..;) Akhirnya bunda mencari resep membuat stick keju. Sena suka sekali keju, udah kayak orang Belanda yah hihi…:P

Setelah tau gambarannya membuat sick keju, bundapun menyiapkan bahan-2nya. Tepung terigu (200 gr), butter (50gr), keju (100 gr), baking powder (1/2 sendok teh) dan sebutir telur. Kami duduk di atas perlak (biar karpet rumah kami ga kotor dan mudah ngebersiinnya ). Awalnya tepung terigu butter dan keju di campur di dalam baskom. Di remas-2 pake tangan aja. Disini Sena ikutan bunda meremas-2 adonan..:P Dia memang senang sekali turut berpartisipasi dalam kegiatan sehari-2 ayah dan bunda.

Setelah adonan bercampur semua, masukkan baking powder dan telur. Adonan kembali di aduk dan diremas-2 hingga kalis. Siapkan selembar plastik dan bungkus adonan tepung itu lalu diamkan di dalam kulkas selama kurang lebih 20 menit. Kali ini bunda tidak menambahkan garam, karena rasa adonan sudah gurih, keju nya banyak hihi…:P

Setelah 20 menit, adonan di keluarkan dari pastik lalu di taruh di atas talenan. Karena bunda ga punya gilingan, bunda menggiling adonan hingga pipih (tebal 1cm) dengan botol kecap kkkk..:P Kemudian lembaran adonan tepung itu di potong-2 panjang-2. Pindahkan potongan-2 adonan tepung di atas loyang oven yang telah di lapisi baking paper. Jangan lupa oleskan kocokan telor di atas potongan-2 adonan itu. Masukkan ke dalam oven dan masak hingga golden brown hehe (sekitar 20menit). Setelah matang masukkan stick-2 keju itu kedalam toples.

Alhamdulillah Sena suka makan stick kejunya, rasa kejunya pas. Tapi ternyata sticknya terlalu tebal (kalo buat ayah dan bunda sih sudah pas). Jadi lain kali pipihkan adonan tepungnya hingga 1/2cm aja yah hehe..:). Bunda harus memotong dadu stick kejunya jadi Sena bisa makan. Dia lahap makan kue itu sambil nonton baby tv hihi..:P

My New Year 2012…

pitachu — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 10:15:26 +0000

Last night everybody celebrated new year eve. Fireworks in many colors, shapes and designs covered the sky beautifully. But my little family just stay at home. My son went to bed at 7 o’clock. But he managed to admire the fireworks which were burnt before midnight.

Our new year eve this year was nothing special. Bit quite, but that’s OK. Many friends went back to Indonesia already, so we can not celebrates the new year together like last year. I sat near the window with laptop on my lap. Sometimes I looked out side the window to enjoy my neighbors fireworks. With a glass of hot sweet tea and a bowl of home made batagor..it was just a perfect way to spend the remaining hours of 2011. But I decided to go to bed at 10pm, i was not feeling well. I’ve tried to sleep but the fireworks sound disturbed me a lot. Thanks God, my son sleep like a baby (yes, he is still a baby hehe…). He did not wake up at all.

Until the party started….it was 12 o’clock and everybody came out from their houses with their fireworks. I woke up and pick up my phone cell, taking some images and movie of the fireworks from my window.

I am happy, God gave me time to enjoy the life until this year. With all the troubles, tears, smile and laugh I went through the days on 2011. What will happened next year, only God knows. But I wish He can lead me to be a better person so that I can face my life better than before. So that I can be a better mom, wife, daughter, sister and friends. Thank you God for everything…amiiin

mumbling… PS: I love you

Everytime I saw you I never want to leave you.

But when I looked around I really want to leave.

I have no face to face it.

I have no guts to handle it.

Your smile is my strength.

Your touch is my joy.

I love you so much.

Forever…till death do us apart.

GOD, I’m sorry…I’m really sorry….

Toddler menu

pitachu — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 21:29:59 +0000

Semakin besar, Sena makin bisa merasakan mana makanan enak dan tidak enak. Dia suka makanan manis tapi juga suka makanan gurih/ asin. Dia suka keju (dan biskuit2 berasa keju/asin). Snack manis dia juga banyak mulai dari wafel, coklat, biskuit kelinci (bentuknya kelinci kkkk) dan biskuit marrie. Sebenarnya aku mulai khawatir Sena kebanyakan makan gula dan garam, tapi aku masih bingung seberapa banyakkah “kebanyakan” itu? Aku masih belum menemukan standar yang dapat di percaya.

Sebisa mungkin aku mencounter “kebanyakan” gula dan garam itu dengan memberikan buah2an dan sayuran. Di sekolah, makan berat Sena cuma 1 atau 2 lembar roti oles. Tidak ada asupan sayur sama sekali. Makanya di rumah sebisa mungkin aku memasak sayur/ makanan berserat untuk makan malam dan sarapannya. Salah dua menu cepat saji yang biasa aku bikin untuk Sena adalah Scrambled eggs dan Sop ayam. Cara memasaknya adalah sebagai berikut:

Scrambled eggs

-Pecahkan 3 butir telor di dalam panci (jangan di aduk). Tambahkan setengah sendok makan mentega.

-Panaskan (dengan api kecil) campuran itu sambil diaduk cepat.

-Sesekali angkat panci dari kompor dan aduk di tempat lain. Panas yang tersimpan di panci cukup untuk mematangkan telor2 itu. Setelah itu kembalikan panci ke atas kompor.

-Setelah telor menggumpal dan terlihat lembut, matikan api. Tuangkan 2 sendok makan susu sapi. Taburkan sedikit lada dan garam. Nah…. scrambled eggs siap dihidangkan. Bisa di oleskan di atas warm roasted bread.

Waktu memasak: 10 menit.

Sop ayam ala bunda Sena

-Potong tipis bawang merah dan bawang putih masing2 satu siung. Potong dadu kecil wortel, kentang dan brokoli. Siapkan satu sayap ayam, sebuah telur kocok dan semangkuk kecil nasi.

-Tumis bawang dengan oilve oil, setelah layu tambahkan air secukupnya. Masukkan ayam, wortel dan kentang. Masak hingga matang dan empuk. Tambahkan brokoli dan nasi, masak hingga brokoli matang dan nasi lembut. Tambahkan kocokan telur, gula, garam dan lada secukupnya. Naaah…sop siap dihidangkan…:)

Waktu memasak: 20 menit

Foto masakannya masih d HP, malas download kkk…tapi alhamdulillah Sena suka, apalagi kalo dia lagi malas makan nasi. Nasi di sop ayam di masak sampai lembut pake kuah ayam jadi rasanya gurih dan ga keliatan bentuk nasi…hihi..:P

Thirty…

pitachu — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 11:25:48 +0000

Someone I knew passed away last week when she was enjoying dinner with her friends, she was just 29. May she rest in peace….

How we never know what will happen to us in every day, minute even seconds of our lives…

How we only can make a plan without knowing how the results will be…

Only God knows…He is the Almighty, to Him we will come back, to Him we trust, to Him we ask, to Him we seek for help…to Him and only to Him.

I turned thirty last week…bless me, guide me, please don’t leave me…Thank you God, Alhamdulillah…

my little guy now..:)

Sena is 16 months old now. He is a toddler, not a baby anymore…:)
As per today, he is quite healthy. He’s still have some flu and cough but he looks active and eat a lot. So I do not worry too much on this.
What makes me worry is his personality. He starts to rebel and become a cry baby. He followed me everywhere. He start crying when he didn’t see me. But when I say NO to him (when he’s doing something dangerous, etc) he insisted to do that. Even when I yell at him or moved him from that things he wanted to touch. I wonder whether I did the right thing. Actually I don’t wanna yell at him, but sometimes I can’t help it. I googled this phenomena, they called it Temper Tantrum and it’s common for baby at his age. This website helps a lot: www.education.com
What Sena doesn’t like is when:
1. To be put on the stroller
2. Take a bath
3. To put him on clothes
4. To be put on high chair
5. His mother is out of sight
6. Go to bed.
We need an extra energy and patient to ask him to do all of this. Sometimes I need my husband to help me…fiuh..:(
I hope this situation won’t take long. As soon as he can talk, I think he can understand better. We can communicate each other, so that I know what actually he wants. I don’t want to be a strict parent, but I realize I also haven’t became a good parent yet.

one year left…

pitachu — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 09:09:51 +0000

I envy you, you and you..yes all of you..
but still I done nothing..

what a pathetic lazy stubborn person..:(

Homemade makanan bayi

pitachu — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 09:28:27 +0000

Semakin besar Sena semakin cepet bosen dengan makanannya. Ya iyalah, kita aja klo dsuruh makan dengan menu yang sama selama beberapa hari juga bosan hehe..:P Jadi bunda harus lebih kreatif bikin makanan Sena.
Contohnya beberapa hari lalu bunda bikin Puding Roti tawar dan siomay. Karena homemade, jadi lebih sehat, tanpa bahan pengawet dan bisa dikontrol berapa banyak penggunaan gula garamnya. Dan yang terpenting Alhamdulillah Sena suka hehe..:D
Untuk Puding Roti tawar ini resepnya:
Roti tawar d sobek-2 trus direndam sama susu sapi (plain) selama 30 menit. Meanwhile, siapkan mentega cair dan telur kocok. Setelah 30 menit, tuang mentega cair dan telur ke dalam rendama roti tawar. Aduk hingga rata. Lalu masukkan ke dalam microwave (bisa di kukus atau di oven, i don’t have both kukusan and oven so i used microwave) dan panaskan selama 2.5 menit. Keluarkan roti dan taburkan meses di atas roti (topping ini bisa dganti apa aja seperti keju parut, pisang atau buah lain). Masukkan lagi roti kedalam microwave dan panaskan selama 2.5 menit. Keluarkan roti lalu dinginkan d suhu ruang atau di kulkas. Setelah itu baru disajikan. Bisa saja disajikan hangat. Sena like both cold and warm puding…:)
Untuk siomay, ini resepnya: (semua bahan ukurannya pake ilmu kira2 dan tidak dicobain karena bunda lagi puasa hahaha..:P)
Ayam fillet dan udang di potong dadu kecil, lalu masukkan ke blender. Tambahkan bawang putih bubuk, merica, garam dan gula secukupnya lalu di blender hingga halus. Pindahkan adonan daging ini kedalam mangkok lalu tuang 1 butir telur dan beberapa sendok air es. Aduk rata lalu tambahkan cacahan daun bawang, tepung tapioka dan tepung terigu secukupnya. Aduk hingga kalis. Siapkan tahu biasa dan tahu goreng. Untuk tahu biasa potong, segitiga lalu bagian tengahnya d keruk agar jadi bolong. Tahu sisa kerukan bisa dicampurkan kedalam adonan daging. Untuk tagu goreng, gunting salah satu sisinya. Kemudian isikan adonan daging kedalam tahu2 bolong itu. Kukus hingga matang siomay2 ini bersama potongan kentang dan sayuran (brokoli, kol, dll). Tunggu hingga dingin baru dihidangkan. Nyaaaammms Sena suka Sekali makan dia bisa abis 2 buah tahu dan 2 buah kentang, Alhamdulillah.
Bunda senang bisa bikin snack mudah murah meriah yang sehat dan bergizi buat Sena..:D

Most beautiful places in the world

pitachu — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 14:01:15 +0000

I found this website: http://daddu.net/most-beautiful-places-in-the-world/3/
Huaaa…amazing places all around the world and I only have visited 4 of them…:(
When I was young-single, I still have traveling desire. I wanna travel everywhere. But after we have Sena, we always think twice or more to travel. Expenses, his safety and comfort during the journey are the most priority. It’s quite difficult to prepare everything for a baby journey. So, maybe we’ll wait for a couple more years to travel again. Hopefully we still have enough support (income) for it..hehe..:D
But I will shortened the list become my 10 most favorite places to visit (someday)
1. Mekkah (insyaAllah for Hajj/ umroh and sightseeing of course )
2. Lombok, Indonesia
3. Japan
4. China
5. Seoul, Korea (again??? yeah I love this city )
6. Petra, Jordan
7. London, UK
8. Istanbul, Turkey
9. Finland –> to see aurora
10. Sidney, Australia
Maybe I’ll add some places, but for now, 10 are enough..:D

Sena’s menu

pitachu — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 13:00:13 +0000

Lately Sena seems bored with his menu. Indeed I gave him almost the same menu since several months ago. I feel embarrassed..:(
So I dig into google and try to find an easy baby food recipes. I found some recipes, but I’m not confident making it (some of it needs oven, which I don’t have). So I asked my husband what we can do with chicken, tofu and vegetables in the fridge. He said let’s make udon soup. It’s easy though…hehe..:D
Boil some chicken lever. Then fry some shallots and garlic then pour the chicken stock. Put the udon (soft-thick noodle) and silk tofu then some choy sam. Spread a scrambled egg and little bit of salt. Cut the chicken lever into small dice and add to the soup. Nyamss…Sena like it a lot..:D
Then I realized I still have some potato in the kitchen. I steamed the potatoes together with brocoli and carrot. Then I blend them with additional of chicken wing and chicken stock. Add a bit of salt. Then placed them in a bowl. I should bake them in a oven to make like “schotel”, but unfortunately I don’t have oven…huhu..:( But in the end, it was nice, Sena like it..hehe..:D
So, what’s other menu I can try this week?…:D
