Urban Farmer

My urban farming effort had shown some other Juicy Juicy result....Jambu Air!  

This was produced from a tree in a pot, it doesn't require exhausting effort! Though it's only the three of them but big momma's proud of you...little girls!

Raw Almond Milk

Yeay...and my superfood is coming!  To continue my new obsessed greenie smoothie hotness, I ordered the raw almond milk from Gwen's Kitchen.  Taste bit like soy milk with almond flavor...my smoothie is yummier, i don't even taste the veggie bitterness!  

Suppa food, suppa girl, suppa delicioso smoothie!

Bekel Bekel

Remember my post on  Ice Cream Pinata ? Yep, that was for my bestie daughter birthday.

She wanted to have ice cream theme party, and when we discussed on the goody bag, we came up with something so-called-NEKAD!  She decided to have Indonesia traditional toys as the goody bag.  This is something I really wanted for so long...Kids nowadays are more into Ipad than bekel, congklak, kolecer and yoyo!

Sooo....she was searching for Indonesian traditional toys provider and happily found one at Bedil Jepret  and you know who was the most happy girl receiving the goody bag?  Me, me, meeeee!

She wrapped it in the beautiful brown bag and she even prepared the cute Wikipedia printout for each toy so Kyra's besties won't look at her with frowning face no clue what's in the bag...BRILLIANT!

Thanks in a bunch, Kyra and tante Sinta......tante Ira is delighted!  And kiddos, let's play this at home!

Bekel, Yoyo, Peluit Bambu, Kolecer, Kembang Kertas

Go smoothie go smoothie go!

Dago Pakar

Holiday is coming and it's time to share my childhood memory with the kiddos....it brought us back to Dago Pakar....the place is quiet and a kinda heart-stealer place for the eldest as he loved to go around the caves for the mystery-seeker! Cheap holiday :P

Chubby Pinata

Well,  it was supposed to be Ninja go....sort of,...but all the sudden is more to Angry Bird slash chubby bird...sigh!

Night hunger and found pasta, morning glory a.k.a. kangkung, smoked beef, chilli padi and Singapore mee rebus paste...sooo...anything will do!

Monggo Choco

Got this from my bestie and fall in love with it..light, buttery and not too sweet..I was thinking to use as choco lava melted cupcake filling with a touch of mint extract..nom nom!

Another Firetrucks Pinata

Yes, the title is self-explanatory...My bestie buzz me to do any pinata for her 8 y.o. son storytelling project.

The idea is to do the pinata history...isn't that amazing, kids these days?

At first I was so ambitious to prepare Cinco De Mayo pinata...something with animals and colorful layers, but you know my poor skill for creating a cute object?  So, I was back to square one, to only prepare the firetrucks which kinda more to no-rocket-science project to me!

And what makes me more happy? The eldest was helping me to glue and I let him to put the things as he likes! Yes, I have an adorable pinata assistant now!

Happy storytelling, my dear Opang...the fire department is ready to serve u!

Ice Cream Pinata

Kyra, your ice cream pinata are lining up for your hot summer birthday party....happy birthday, cutie pie!

Baked Pancake

Arrrgghh...it's been a while from blogging...this time i am back with the homemade baked pancake...

Just pour the pancake mix from the box, add water, cheese, smoked beef and click your oven for 10 minutes!  Not bad..oh and and add tomato sauce on top!

While I am boring....

I was taking this cutie innocent elephant for fun!

The Breakfast

I hate when people....wait, let me rephrase my words...i kinda feel sad when people complains about food..and I was referring to the kiddos who sometimes reject the daily food choice we offered.  To me, there is a non-simple process behind food and we always have to appreciate that.  

In contrary, kiddos are always kiddos and  hey...mommy got that, young boys!

One rainy Sunday morning, we were clueless where to go and I ddin't have enough ingredients in the fridge to prepare except bread and smoked beef.......and they started to raise their eyebrow with the high tone.......errr.......BREAD?

I quickly  anticipated to have them prepared it by themselves.  By any chance, this was my last resort despite dictating and forcing them to eat.

I let them to butter, cheesy-sliced and cooked the beef in the stove...boys, if it were not as per you liking, mommy would put her hands up and surrender!

And the result?  Thank God, they're giving me a sweet smooch smooch...Touch down, mommy won this time!

The Greenie Smoothie Boys

Now I know how to get the kiddos attention on my greenie smoothie thing....Easyyyy, involved them in the process, let them invent their new ways to do ...cut, chop, blend and serve. They don't ever care for the spinach ...hoo to the ray, HOORAYY!

They now are smoothie-enthusiast and request to add new mix - whipping cream,  berries, ice cream and the list continues....

No worries, honey...mommy will provide you anything as long as you are voluntarily happy transforming yourself into POPEYE, the sailor man!

Greenie Homey Smoothie

I am a bit obsessed now with the green smoothie..whenever you browse around any cooking blogs, you'll find those oh-so-tempting refreshing green smoothie...I finally made it and is a healthy choice before hitting treadmill!  

Kiddos are oh-so-so-liking it but mommy will not give up, my dear!

Juicy Juicy

The green and raw guava from our homeyard......

To the green smoothie completed with homemade cheesy cheese potato......halfway-heavy breakfast!

Singapore Mee Rebus Paste

Yay, I just received this from my Singaporean bestie! I always curious how they cooked the Singapore Mee Rebus.  The thick gravy and noodle envy me just like that...

And here was my trial...with lots of  beginner's luck!

The Pastry Cooking

And we finally made it.....unsuccessfully!  The pastry was not as puffy and fluffy as we wish, we might be a roller-enthusiast rolling the pastry dough to the maximum...sigh! But, it went for 30 minutes cooking preparation to the less than 10 minutes of eating...

So I considered this a success story, signed and sealed!  The sausage pastry roll was dedicated for you, abang...good luck for your exam!

Soooo......this is the plan for kiddos cooking class today, if..only if i am not too lazy to enjoy the hot Jakarta weekend!

Taman Suropati

One happy day, we went for dine outside....we passed by Taman Suropati and stopped by for the venue...

The kiddos are kudos......they climb, they jump, they run and they're exhausted!  Happy!

DIY : Chalkboard

I was experimenting to rework my used drawer board to become a chalkboard.  Since I have two, I made two for his and his...hahaha...i mean for my eldest and youngest.  Too bad I did not have the before picture....

The youngest is a bit into it..he's writing his first warning sign after it dry : KEEP CLEAN and CALM, please!

Late night Snacks

Happiness is simple....and is when you managed to prepare late night snacks for the hunger kiddos after 3 slice of rainbow cakes and 2 cups of hot choco milk...

Just put lychee yoghurt, crushed OREO choco softcake on top of the waffle and go away hunger face!

G - The Result

And here comes the result......

Baby G, welcome aboard young man! smooch smooch from auntie Ira!

The G

I was asked by my bestie to create pinata for her newborn....and the theme is baby boy!  Gosh, baby what?

At first, i would like to create something round, put the baby boy picture on it and put the hat on top, but I was really struggling to print the cute baby face...it become more to scary than cute face by the way! haha...

Soooo.......the plan B was this..... 

Toy slash Captain

The youngest is the big fan of Captain America..since I do not have the costume so why don't I prepare something for him?  It's simple anyway...

Here is the result...the confusing theme of Toy Story slash Captain America with the cowboy hat minus the costume!

Galeri Nasional

It's been a while to realize I was long time over due to visit mall..In contrary, the kiddos loves to go to museum..here we are, spending our weekend at Galeri Nasional Jakarta, in front of Gambir station.  You need to go there while there are any exhibitions I guess. But I like the place, nuff spot for photo shoot!
