The Coil

Dari mulutke mulut di pertemuan dengan teman-teman, akhirnya aku dapat juga resep ayam goreng ala KFC. Setelah tambah bumbu sana sini jadilah resep ayam ini.
Mudah dan meriah, rasanya sedap!!

Cara masak:

Rendam paha ayam (paha ayamnya sebaiknya diiris dagingnya supaya bumbu lebih meresap) dengan cuka selama satu jam.
Cuci paha ayam dengan air.
Di mangkok kocok satu butir telur ayam dengan garam (agak banyak supaya terasa), cayenne pepper (supaya agak pedas), garlic powder dan lada putih masukan ayam, jangan pelit dengan bumbu-bumbunya..hehehehe. Biarkan meresap untuk satu-dua jam.
Campur tepung terigu dengan sedikit baking powder. Lumuri ayam dengan tepung ini dan goreng deep fried dengan minyak suhu medium high.
Makan dengan saos tomat dan saos sambel botol……

Selamat makan!!

Duh, musim dingin begini enaknya ngemil yah….

Dari kemarin aku sibuk mikir enaknya ngemil apa gitcu…..hahahha..dasar ibu hamil.
Tiba-tiba aku pengen makan donat, dan ternyata kalau lihat-lihat ingredients donat dari toko agak tidak sehat, terlalu banyak gula lah de se be…
Akhirnya milih buat donat sendiri deh, yang bahannya kita tahu semua.
Setelah bolak balik lihat di internet dari blognya ibu-ibu di penjuru dunia yang suka masak, akhirnya dapet satu resep donat yang menurutku  paling gampang bikinnya. Donat ala kampung…..bikinnya ditambah sama kentang.
Waaahhh….karena resepnya dalam takaran Indonesia, maka sibuklah daku mengira-ngira takaran US…akhirnya jadi juga.
Karena memang agak manis, jadi aku cuma tambahin tepung gula.
Phillip suka, tapi dia heran kok ada tambahan kentang? Ibunya kan jago masak kue dan roti, dan dia nggak pernah lihat ibunya masukin kentang dalam adonan roti. Ah…lain ladang lain belalang dong..hehehe.
Kaela juga suka…..Aih…ternyata bisa juga bikin donat..hehehhe…..
Asal rajin cari resep makanan on line pasti deh nemu aja yang kita mau. Besok rencananya mau bikin bakso….hehehhe…….

Hmmm…makan donat hangat dengan segelas teh manis hangat…..Nikmeeehhhhhhhhhhhhh…….!!

I bet it is kind of hectic outside there at the moment.
Today, the weather is  really bad. It is very bad that Phillip released from his office early. He went to Walmart to buy groceries just in case the weather getting worse and we will have to stay at home tomorrow or the next day…who knows.
It has been raining since last yesterday but today the weather is too cold so the rain turned into ice. I can hear sandy sound on the roof from the rain and I could see the poor tree’s branches has to bear the ice, no surprise if there will be lots of broken branches everywhere tomorrow.Icy raining…..Euuuwwwww…..scary and quite dangerous. I can
We drove once on icy street without realized it and we got in an accident.

I prayed that everyone on the street can go home safely. This is one fact that I am not eager to live in US especially Midwest. Winter is painful..and this is not even winter yet…

Oo..where is the warm sunny day……With the winds breeze cold air….

Duh..kalau sudah waktunya masak rasanya pengen give up aja eh.
Lagi hamil begini kok ya rasanya males buat masak….nggak tahu kenapa tapi …iii….MALAS…….
Kalau sudah masak nggak mau cobain rasanya, paling nunggu komentar dari Phillip atau Kaela..hehehhe…..
Hari Kamis depan sudah pasti aku nggak usah masak karena Thanks Giving biasanya kita ngumpul di rumah orang tuanya Phillip. Ibunya pasti sudah siap dengan ayam kalkun, green bean casserole, pie etc…makanan khas Thanks Giving. Walaupun saya lebih memilih ikan asin, tapi kalau diundang makan sih…paling senang. At least nggak usha bingung mau masak apa untuk Phillip.

My belly is almost round like a soccer ball at this time.
I am at my second trimester, and I have this active baby kicking and stretching inside my uterus. Sometime I sitting quietly on the couch and watching my stomach, waiting for the movement.
"Yes….yes there it is…" whenever I see my stomach makes tiny bump here and there.
I started playing classical music and put the earphone on top of my belly, I hope baby like the music, something good for brain developing.
Sometimes, I feel my chest being crush and I can’t breath for no reason, since the baby growing fast, she become bigger everyday and start pressing my organs with her existence. My whole stomach  getting full with all "equipment" to support the pregnancy. Growing fetus, bigger placenta, enlarging uterus, haaaa……………
Normal size pants no longer wearable except the one with rubber waist. I have to wear maternity jeans, or maternity shirt since my boobs and tummy at stretching out…hahahhaha. Soon, I have to buy  maternity bra…..
My appetite have not change so much, today I had chocolate bar, but nothing fancy.
I have no food craving at the moment, wait……..!!! No, I just thinking about Chocolate croissant from Henhouse, which unfortunately is far away from home…AAA…………..Hmmm….yummy…..I used to snack it while at work.

Well, my crazy wacky dreams are gone by now. Only one or two, not like when I was on my first trimester….Goodness….I had crazy weird dreams every night. Flirting with Brad Pitt, mosnter tried to catch me……
I stop my hair losing nightmare, I only lost 10-30 piece of hair when I wash my hair lately.
I started walking like a duck…or close to Donald duck
I became forgetful even worse….
I pee on my pant when I laugh too much or cough even sneeze
I fart without be able to control it in front of people sometimes…euuwwww!!
I toss my self right and left side on my sleep…..

But you know what? I enjoy it……
I am enjoying this moment…….
It is a good time…..

Semalam..oh lala…Malaysian and some Indonesian family mengadakan acara peringatan Idul Fitri. Kesimpulannya: Hebohhhhh.
Jadi konsepnya tuh, ktia nyewa ruangan besar dengan beberapa keluarga yang menjadi host. Tiap keluarga bisa menyewa meja sendiri atau berbagi meja dengan keluarga lain, akan menyediakan masakan untuk tamu masing-masing. Tujuan acara ini lebih untuk para teman American or Christian atau agama lain yang tidak merayakan Idul Fitri untuk dapat menikmati makanan khas Idul Fitri dan suasana khas Idul Fitri.

Aku sharing meja dengan keluarga Lulu Siregar dan Novi Leigh. Aih, pada gila-gilaan deh masaknya. Lulu dan Mbak Novi masak Rendang, Ayam Rujak, Sayur Labu Siam, Ketupat, Mie goreng, Sambel goreng sayur, Kerupuk, Nagasari, Kue Putri Salju, Pastel, Bakwan, Agar Sarikaya, Sambel, Bolu pandan, sedangkan gue cuma nyumbang Asinan Betawi, Perkedel, Meatloaf, Telur Goreng sambel sama Pudding Roti.


Pokoknya rame deh. Ada suami temanku yang complaint katanya bini gue kerjanya masak mulu tiga hari ini untuk persiapan Idul Fitri ini. Capek……!!! Hahahahha…Sedangkan gue udah nyicil masak hari Jum’at siang terus hari Sabtu nonstop masak jam 7 pagi sampai jam 2 siang…..Pegel bo..belum langsung cabut ke tempat gathering and ended up dirumahnnya Ghita ngobrol wara-wiri sama beberapa keluarga lain sampai jam 1 pagi….
Kasihan si baby…kali pusing kok ya maminya sibuk bener sih..kagak istirahat…Hehheheheh..yang ada pas mau tidur, dianya gulang guling dalam perut..protes kali!!
Pokoknya seru…banyak tamu datang, banyak anak berlarian sana-sini, banyak makanan baru yang dicoba.

Seru..seru….!!

Well, is another girl for Coil family.
We found out on Tuesday that the baby is a girl, with the chance of 90% possibility. The doctor said we never can be 100% sure until the baby is born.

Honestly, we were hoping for the baby boy, but after we saw that she is growing healthy in my womb, we couldn’t care anymore. She is a cutie, and thanks for the technology, we could see her face by 3 D ultrasound. It is not really nice picture, she still looks like an alien..hahaha..just because she is only 4.5 months old in the womb. She will due on May 21 next year!
MasyaAllah!!

She was rubbing her eyes on the screen and moving here and there. It was so funny. Well, Phillip said maybe God trusted us to take care daughters than a son. So we are really glad that God gave us another chance to take care one more child. Insya Allah, we will try our best!
The name is already taken by her. It still a bit of secret but I already started calling  her by her name….Oh what a joy!!
