CRASH MY KITCHEN

I spent this few months mastering myself in the kitchen through AFC and TLC channel on TV. Well, not all recipes is easy but hey I'm gonna try it anyway, my style of course. The most inspiring on that channel is Chef Michael Smith who encourage audion to cook without recipe, use left over, stuff like that. So I hit the market and take some action on the kitchen.

Some of the recipe that I've try such : Vietnamese springroll from Vietnam, stuffed bitter gourds  with Thai pineapple salad on top is my fusion food from Thai recipe,  and many more . I forgot to write down the recipe as I cook it without one.

When my kids taking their nap in the afternoon, that's when I mostly get my ideas of what snack they will have once they wake up.Well my planning  for today is Fruit gellato, recipe from Donna Hay and Apple Pie ala Ricardo & friends. Sound delicious right? hope my kids will love it.

A cup of coffee please

It's amazing how the world begins to change through the eyes of a cup of coffee! 
 ~Donna A. Favors

Coffee is such an attitude.

Coffee has played a significant role in human society since the 9th century AD when it was exported out of the Middle East. Today millions of people around the world drink coffee every day because of its social connotations, taste, and caffeine content. With strains from the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia, coffee has had a major impact on almost everyone in the world. However, the drink has much more to offer than many people think.

Everyday, as long as I can remember, my life begun with a nice steaming hot cup of  coffee. . .the smell of it, the taste. . .I just can't live without it. I don't really care about the other things that should accompany the cup, I guess whatever will do. Just coffee its ok too. When I'm in High School ( I know....I should drink milk instead ) I drink it black. I don't remember the Brand though. During my college time, I still drink it Black.The Brand at that time that is my favorite was "Kupu-Kupu Bola Dunia" from Bali. It just great. and then I guess I drink coffee too much I start having stomach acid.So I stop drinking for 6 months.Boy that's tough! 

After that six  month I begin my old coffee habit. But this time I switch from Ground coffee to Nescafe. Black of course. I consume this for few years. And now I drink it with cream as I can't stand black coffee anymore.

Coffee has a number of good and bad health affects. Drinking this bean in moderation should not lead to any problems, but it is always good to know how things will affect you, especially your health. So Coffee Lover, I'll try to find articles on how coffee will affect our health. until next time.... Have yourself a cup!
