Yang "Yummy" dari Yami (The "Yummy" From Yami)

Ini postingan sebagai penebus rasa bersalah karena...coba bayangin masa saya bisa punya waktu buat membuatkan kue spesial untuk ultah anggota keluarga yang lain tapi pas giliran suami dan saya sendiri ultah kok tukang kuenya malah K.O ???

Sebenernya ini bukan sebuah kesengajaan. Harap maklum aja karena disaat yang bersamaan tukang kuenya kelelep orderan so yang dikejar ya yang bisa dijadiin duitlah (matre.com).

But anyway, hari minggu kemarin disela2 mepetnya waktu karena hari itu kebetulan ada acara arisan Rt, saya bertekad untuk membuat something special buat sang komisaris YamiYummy. Lantaran udah sering bikin aneka kue akhirnya malah mati ide kali ini. Eh kebetulan pas blog walking nemuin ide dari blognya Mba Dewi Joris (one of my fave blog). Setelah izin dengan sang empunya blog maka saya langsung ngebut bikin fruit pie buat suami.

Kebetulan suami lagi ketimbun lemak jadi harus dinetralisir nih sama buah2an supaya agak langsingan dikit kayak foto pengantin kami dulu (wuih gayanya kayak dirinya sendiri masih langsing aja, padahal setali tiga uang he he he).

Pulang arisan langsung nyodorin pie ini ke suami dan dengan diiringi cipika cipiki plus untaian doa maka hutang sayapun lunas. Sorry ya telat pap, tapi teteup suka khan dengan pie buatan istri tercintamu ini ??? Walau cuma sederhana tapi saya kok merasa inilah perayaan ultah yang terindah buat kami berdua. Mau tahu kenapa ?? Karena kami sadar bahwa kami masih saling memiliki dan tetap saling mencintai sampai saat ini. Bagi saya, itu udah lebih dari cukup. Saya nggak ingin hadiah lain lagi.

Tapi kalau kemudian suami ngasih saya hadiah microwave, ya udahlah saya terima....Namanya juga rezeki, pamalilah kalau ditolak hi hi hi. Setuju kan ?????

(I felt so guilty with my husband since I couldn't make a special birthday cake for his birthday last Jan 7. You can imagine how guilty I am. I used to made special birthday cake for my family but I couldn't make anything for me and my husband's burthday. You know why ?? I was so busy to finish orders at the same time.

Last Sunday I decided to make something special to celebrate our belated birthday. I got an idea from blog walking to make special fruit pie (this idea taken from Dewi Joris' blog, one of my fave blog. She's so wonderful you know). Althought my fruit pie was not as good as Dewi's but I felt sastisfied enough since finnally I could make something for our birthday.

I gave the fruit pie to my husband. I kissed him with my warmest love and wished him all the best. Happy belated birthday, honey. Thank you so much for all of the best things you gave me. Although the celebration was too simple but for me it was more than enough since I know for sure that we are still in love until now. Having him by my side is the best thing that God ever gave me and I don't want anything else....

But at the end my husband gave me a microwave as his present. I couldn't say no since I want it so much. That's my dream baking equipment and he made it came true. Thank you so much honey....That's why I always call you the greatest husband ever !!!)

Wuih setelah lama nggak bisa posting akhirnya malam ini bisa juga kembali meng-up date my beloved blog. Kalau aja nggak takut dibilang sakit jiwa udah saya ciumin nih laptopnya, honey I miss u much......(blog jadi suami kedua ?????)

Orderan kali ini kembali datang dari rekan suami di kantornya. Pesannya Black forest yang pakai pagar twister dan brownies kukus yang dikasih edible image di atasnya. Jum'at malam kemarin langsung terbang ke dapur buat bikin basic cakenya. Menghiasnya dikerjakan hari sabtunya berhubung badan lagi remuk redam akibat ngerjain orderan sebelumnya dan juga karena cuaca yang lagi nggak bersahabat.

Tadinya sang pemesan merahasiakan untuk acara apa kuenya tsb tapi setelah sampai rumahnya baru deh ketahuan kalau kue2 ini buat acara sunatan anaknya. Acara deliverypun sempat terhadang hujan di tengah jalan. Maklumlah belum punya mobil jadi semua aktivitas dilakukan dengan bantuan sang Scorpio Z tercintah. Nggak pa palah, bersakit-sakit dahulu, berfoya-foya kemudian (prinsip hidup tukang kue yang udah mabok keracunan softcream hi hi hi).

Congrats ya Pak Agus atas khitanan anaknya (lain kali jangan sok berahasia segala karena crew server terbukti lebih jago mengendus rahasia ketimbang agen minyak eh salah maksudnya agen 007).

(Tonight I'm so happy since finnally I can up dating my blog again. I miss you so much, my beloved blog.....I want to kiss my lap top to express my happiness but I'm affraid another people will call me insane.

This order came from my husband's colleague. The order consists of Black Forest which completed with twister chocolate rolls and steamed brownie that completed with edible image on it. I made the basic cakes at last friday night and finished the decoration the day after.

My husband helped me to deliver the cakes and we went to Mr Agus' house by our beloved motor cycle since we don't have any car yet at this time. Yeach, never mind, we will buy it someday....We must....

Thanks for your order, Mr Agus. Although you tried to kept it as a secrect but you have failed. FYI, you must be so carefull with the server crew since they could find out everything, better than the very best spy in the world, James Bond 007).

Udah lama banget nih nggak bisa up load gambar ke blog. Kenapa ya ??? Padahal udah gatel mau up date blog.

(It's been so long that I couldn't up load any pic to my blog. I just wondering why ??? I don't have any idea how to up dating my blog. I got upset and in the bad mood at this time, please help me..).

Nggak kerasa hari ini umur saya kembali bertambah banyak tapi jatah hidup saya di dunia semakin berkurang. Kalau mau melihat ke belakang, wah saya merasa banyak banget punya kekurangan dan kealpaan. Saya harap sih tahun ini bisa lebih baik dari kemarin, lebih giat beribadah, lebih giat bisnis, lebih memperhatikan anak, bisa jadi istri yang lebih baik lagi, bisa lebih dewasa dan bijaksana, bisa memanage waktu dengan lebih baik dan yang paling penting adalah bisa lebih ikhlas dalam segala hal. Amien...

Ada hal yang amat istimewa di Bulan Januari ini. Saya dan suami sama2 merayakan ultah, cuma beda satu hari. Sayangnya karena keterbatasan waktu (harap catat : time is money, so keterbatasan waktu means keterbatasan uang :)) akhirnya saya malah nggak bisa memberikan surprise party buat suami tercinta yang berulang tahun tgl 7 kemarin. Happy belated birthday, honey. Maaf nggak bisa ngasih kado apa2 buat kamu. You know khan......Tadinya udah bikin kue special buat suami (chocolate in triple) tapi berhubung ada order dadakan dari teman kantor suami untuk CIT ya sudlah CIT nya buat dijadiin duit aja (salah satu contoh seorang istri yang terlalu kalap nyari duit).

Tadi malam saya nyaris nggak tidur karena Allah memberikan rezeki lewat orderan para teman kantor suami berupa donat kentang (again ??), Chocolate in Triple dan Brownies kukus besar yang disulap jadi BDCK dengan 39 lilin. Rasanya baru sekejap memejamkan mata eh udah harus bangun karena harus mendelivery kue ke kantor suami di Gd Patra Jasa. Pakai motor pula berhubung mobil idaman kami masih betah ngendon di show room (alias belum kebeli booo). Mata rasanya sepet banget hari ini karena jatah tidur cuma terpakai kurang dari 1,5 jam saja. Padahal malam sebelumnya juga abis begadang buat bikin orderan donat. Dasar masih amatiran makanya masih belum bisa ngatur waktu dgn baik. Mudah2an next time better deh.

Mudah2an rezeki dari Allah akan terus mengalir selalu sehingga saya dan suami bisa menggapai resolusi terbesar kami untuk tahun ini : Naik Haji dan nambah momongan. Amiiiin ya Allah tolong kabulkan doa kami.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME........

(Today is a very special day for me. You know what, today is my birthday. But there is no party at all. I'm not a kid so I think spending my birthday for party is useless. I prefer spending my special day in creating my resolution for this year to wasting time and money for party. I'm just looking out my past days and I find that I have so many bad things to revise. I hope I could be a better person, could be a good mother and wife, being wiser person, could manage time for business and family better.

FYI, this month is very special for me and for my husband, Andri, since we have birthday in same month. He was celebrating his birthday yesterday. Same like me, there was no party since I was too busy to finish the order that came from my husband's colleagues. Thanks God, I got so many orders from Server crew BP Migas. They ordered chocolate in triple (I used to made it for my husband birthday cake but he said that it's better if it sold to his friend who ordered same cake), potato doughnuts (again ???) and big steamed brownie that completed with 39 candles. I almost not sleep last night. I went to my bed at 4.15 and have to wake up again at 5.30 to deliver the cakes to my husband's office at Jakarta. I really got sleepy today at my office. I should have a good time management someday. I must !!!!

I hope everything will be ok with me and my family during this unpredictable year like 2009. I hope my husband and I can get our biggest resolution for this year : Going to Mecca and having another child. I hope God will hear our prays. Amiiin)

Arisan lagi............Bikin apalagi ya buat buah tangan sang empunya rumah ??? Karena waktu yang saya punya nggak banyak so saya langsung kepikiran buat bikin kue2 yang mudah, nggak ribet dan yang paling penting bahan2 bakunya nggak susah dicari.
Setelah buka2 bahan contekkan akhirnya saya memutuskan untuk membuat brownies kukus coklat kejunya Ny Liem. Tapi setelah jadi kok kayaknya tipis banget dan rada2 kurang memuaskan hati. So akhirnya saya memutuskan untuk bikin donat kentang yang lembut dan lezat. Bikin donat ini sambil berkejar2an dengan waktu. Wah udah jam 1 siang padahal para donat belum ber make up. Dengan diiringi gerutuan sang suami yang terus terusan mengingatkan supaya cepat2 berangkat akhirnya semua bawaan selesai di packing dan siap di bawa ke arisan. Alhamdulillah semua pada suka jadi rasa capek dan kesel lantaran gerutuan suami jadi menguap deh.....Happy new year yach untuk keluarga besar Mas Mochamad. Semoga silaturahmi antara kita tetap terjalin terus. Amien.

(Arisan again......(such a kind of family gathering, a tradition in Indonesian families to spend time together with relatives every month). I was wondering which kind of food that I could bring to that occasion. Since I didn’t have much time so I decided to make a simple cake that easy to make in short time.
I decided to make cheesy chocolate steamed brownie which recipe was taken from Mrs. Liem. But after all I wasn’t satisfy enough with the result so I decided to make other food. Then I made potato doughnuts. Wow I made those doughnuts in a hectic time. My husband kept remind me to finish all so that we could go to the arisan since the time was 1 pm already.
Yeach finnally I could finish all doughnuts and went to the arisan. I was so glad since everybody like my doughnuts and I just forgot my tired and my unpleasant feeling at the end. Happy new year to the Mas Mochamad’ s big family. I hope we will stay in togetherness forever. Amiin.)

Saya tadinya nggak nyangka bisa bikin donat sendiri, berhubung jarang banget terjun ke dapur lantaran sibuk kerja dan ngurus anak. Tapi pas searching di internet dan nemuin resep donat kentang saya iseng2 nyoba. Ternyata,percobaan pertama langsung sukses. Donat yang satu ini benar2 istimewa karena lembut banget (udah disimpan di kulkas selama 2 hari masih tetap empuk lho).

Ternyata banyak juga diantara keluarga saya yang suka dgn donat ini dan akhirnya beberapa kali saya menguji resep yang sama. Berdasarkan beberapa kali eksperimen ternyata bikin donat kentang ini susah2 gampang. Artinya dibutuhkan ketelatenan sejak dalam tahap pengadukan adonan, proses fermentasi, proses pembentukan donat sampai proses penggorengan. Semuanya harus dikerjakan dengan mood yang bagus, hati nggak boleh sedang senewen dan harus sabar pas tahap menggoreng karena hasil terbaik adalah kalau prosesnya digoreng satu satu dan harus dengan api yang tidak terlalu besar jadi matang merata dan nggak cepat gosong. Sekali lagi practice makes perfect.

Sempat kaget juga pas abis posting donat kentang buat arisan eh ada orderan donat kentang dari temen2nya suami di kantor. Alhamdulillah banget. Dan lebih bersyukur lagi karena ternyata my husband ternyata adalah marketing yang handal karena dari kantornya saya banyak dapat orderan. Mudah2an semua yang order berkenan dengan hasil karya amatiran saya dan selalu berkenan repeat order juga. Thanks ya guys....

(I never thought that I could make donut before since I rare worked at my kitchen as my busy days in the office and in taking care of my son. One day in my internet surfing, I found the recipe of potato donut. I tried this recipe and I got success in my first trial. I got confidence to make other trial since there are so many persons in my family liked this kind of donut.

But to get the very soft and good donut is not as simple as I think. I have to get patient enough in the first step until fried it. All must done in the good mood and I have to fried it one by one to get the best result. Practice makes perfect. I really sure about it.

I got a little bit surprised as I posted about potato donut for my "arisan" then I got order from my husband's colleagues. I was so happy when I realized that my husband was a great marketer that I ever have. Thanks so much Honey, for you great support so far....

I hope everyone will like my products and never get bore to send me their repeat order. Thanks a lot guys...)

Sebagai seorang ibu pastinya stress banget kalau anaknya susah makan. Saya juga mengalami hal yang sama. Walau sudah menjajal berbagai merk Vitamin untuk anak2 tetap saja anak saya suka susah makan. Apalagi dulu pas hamil selama 5 bulan pertama saya benci banget dengan nasi, eh ternyata setelah lahir Farizi ternyata memang rada2nggak suka nasi. Tapi walaupun begitu saya nggak mau kalah set. Saya mencoba memeras otak untuk mencari cara gimana supaya anak saya Farizi jadi mau makan dan bisa tumbuh sehat seperti seharusnya.

Saya mencoba berbagai variasi menu supaya Farizi nggak bosan dan mencoba menyajikannya dengan cantik seperti yang biasa kami santap di restoran karena berdasarkan pengalaman rupanya Farizi selalu nafsu makan kalau makannya di restoran. Wah kalau tiap hari makan di restoran apa nggak bikin bangkrut orang tuanya ???

Berhubung weekend ini saya dapat jatah libur lumayan panjang dan ternyata juga orderan kue yang udah di booking sebelumnya ternyata dibatalkan, akhirnya saya ambil moment ini untuk bikin menu special buat Farizi. Yang bikin hati saya senang adalah ternyata setelah mengganti susunya jadi susu yang juga mengandung curcuma ternyata nafsu makannya meningkat drastis. Dia malah request supaya saya mau masak makanan favoritnya yaitu capcay goreng plus ayam goreng tepung yang disajikan plus saus dan mayonese. Karena sebelumnya saya sudah membuat capcay goreng maka saya kemudian membuat sayur sop serta tumisan sayuran (wortel dan buncis) plus kentang goreng sebagai pelengkap. Alhamdulillah Farizi lahap banget makannya dan dia bilang dia ingin cepat gede maka dia harus makan banyak. He he he that’s my good boy.

Jadi kalau ada para ibu yang anak2nya susah makan jangan keburu putus asa dulu. Yang pertama, coba aja ganti susunya dengan susu yang juga mengandung curcuma (he he he bukan iklan ya, just sharing aja karena setelah saya mengganti susu yang biasa Farizi minum dengan susu yang mengandung curcuma nafsu makannya jadi meningkat drastis), coba cari jenis menu yang paling menggugah selera anak tapi sebisa mungkin tetap memperhatikan unsur2 gizi yang terkandung di dalamnya, coba menyajikan makanan untuk anak dengan sajian yang menarik sehingga anak serasa makan di restoran dan yang nggak kalah penting cobalah meluangkan waktu untuk memasak khusus untuk si buah hati karena masakan yang disajikan dengan penuh cinta adalah makanan yang terlezat sedunia. Wanna try ???

(As a mother we must be so worried when we found how difficult to make our children love their meals. I got the same problem, too. I have tried several vitamins for children to solve this problem but so far they didn’t work enough. I got a little bit stress since I want to have a healthy son who can grow up normally just like other children. I didn’t know why Farizi, my son, has a difficulty in eating his meal. Maybe there is a relationship with my habit when he was in my womb. During my 5months pregnancy I hate to eat rice so much. I wasn’t sure about it but I promised to not gave up in this problem. I tried hard to find a way to make him could eat easily and grow up normally as he should be.

I tried so many kind of foods and tried to serve it with best serving in order to make him like his meals. I found that Farizi liked the food at the restaurant but I knew we couldn’t eat at the restaurant everyday since it will make us got bankrupt.

Since this weekend I got long holiday then I decided to make special food for my son. I also change his milk with other one that completed with curcuma. I thought that was a good idea since it made him love to eat his meal. For this time he asked me to cook his favorite meals, fried Capcay (such a kind of Chinese food that consists of several healthy vegetables), Fried chicken that served with special homemade sauce and mayonese). Since the day before I have made Cap cay then I made him soup which completed with carrot and bean and also french fried. I was so glad since Farizi love them much. That’s my good boy !!!

I just wanna share my experience to solve the problem in children meals. Try my tips as below :

1. Change their milk with milk that completed with curcuma that good for his health
2. Try to find your children’s favorite meals
3. Serve the meals for your children with good style
4. Try to spend your time to cook by yourself a special foods for your children. The foods that enrich with love are the most delicious foods in the world

So, give our children the best love in every meals that we serve)
