Good Luck, Dear

Anyway... good luck, Tlu and Vice...

It Is Indeed, Sir

Interesting, last nite I was trying to reason why I am staying here and not moving to different places, while Mr. Allen, in this article, took the words out of my mouth.

"It's (Ireland) an isolated and kind of misty place and you'd really have to have the right story for it, but it's a great atmosphere. You know right away you are going to get a beautiful film - those grey skies and the terrain."

It is indeed sir... indeed.... and I haven't finish with you Eire.

I *suddenly* feel SOOO old

Blame the ads!

In a peaceful night (where I suppose not to feel peaceful at all since tomorrow will be my first *serious* meeting with my research supervisor--ok a bit exaggerating here), i saw this CD ads. Well, it's just a usual ads actually... 101 hits in 5 CDs. Nothing unusual right?

Some of the songs that appear in the ads were (in order of appearance):

1. ... Baby One More Time-Britney Spears

2. Genie in the Bottle - Christina Aguilera

3. Everybody - BSB

4. Stop - Spice Girls

5. Torn - Natalie Imbruglia

6. When the Lights Go Out - Five

.... errrr... does it suddenly ring a bell for you?

yeah... the ads was about 101 Hits of the 90s.

Oh MY... it make it sound 90s was more than a century ago, instead of just less than 9 years... hell 1999 was still in the 90s if i recall ^_^

and what made me suddenly wanted to hit my head with a pan was... my first impression of the ads was I thought I want to buy those CDs. Nah gitu dong, jual CD tuh yang bisa aku nikmati gitu loh....

Oooooh... 

sup tahu

Ada toko asia baru di Cork. Dan berhubung 3 weekend terakhir aku selalu ber-weekend ria ke Cork (kurang kerjaan banget!) jadilah kunjungan ke Malay Mama nggak terlewatkan. What so special about this new small shop? Nope, dia selalu kehabisan stock indomie, nope dia nggak jual tempe, naaaaaah dia nggak jual kerupuk... tapi dia jual sambel made in Jakarta, Indonesia. Arrrrrrggghhh.... tak ada sambel bawang SS, sambel terasi pun jadi deh. *desperate_mode* Trus dia juga punya sambel balado dan bajak. Lumayan 2,5 ero per botol kecil 225 gram kayaknya. (males nge-cek). dibanding harga cabe rawit yang 1,20 ero/100 gram (ditimbang se-batang2nya tentu saja!!!); mending beli sambel jadi. murah bo' dan nggak usah ngulek. oh ya, Bune, ternyata ulekannya kurang gedhe, kemaren bikin sambel lotis jadinya harus dua kali bikin untuk seekor nanas dari brazil.

aniwei, kemaren pas di sono lihat silken tofu, dan entah kenapa langsung terbayang miso soup nya Kiko yang sebenernya biasa2 aja itu. Tapi pengeeeeeen... udah ngeces2. Problem: nggak punya miso. Akhirnya ya udah, sop tahu aja deeeeeee...

Terima kasih ya Alloh, sudah menciptakan makhluk yang judulnya bawang putih. Apapun masakannya... bumbunya bawang putih aja deh... ^_^ Aku tulis disini, biar besok2 bisa bikin lagi ah..

bahan2nya:
4 siung bawang putih
3 biji daun bawang
silken tofu sak kuatnya beli
1 liter air
4 cubes chicken stock --> untuk 1 liter air (lebih baek make ayam beneran, tapi gimana dong, waktunya nggak cukup, selak keburu pingsan kelaperan!)
tiga upil garem
dua upil gula pasir
seupil merica
setengah upil pala bubuk
dua upil cabe bubuk

caranya:
1 liter aer digodog di water heater, terus bawang putih yang dirajang halus ditumis (kalo males ngerajangi ya digebreg aje), setelah harum (kira2 lama numisnya 3/4 lagunya rihanna), air yang digodog di water heater tadi (udah mendidih) dimasukin ke panci tempat numis. diaduk2, ditambah chicken stock (chicken stocknya dihaluskan dulu biar gampang larutnya), tambahkan gula, garem, merica, pala, cabe, terus diaduk. masukkan silken tofu, didihkan sampe tahu nggak berasa kedele lagi, kira2 10 menitan. wis dadi.

kalo punya nasi, tinggal ditambahkan ke nasi terus ditambah brambang goreng. hmmm.... murah meriah kenyang ^_^

waktu yang dibutuhkan 30 menit dari mulai masak sampe habis sup nya. sangat praktis buat yang kelaperan, pengen yang anget2, tapi lagi ogah makan indomie telor.
