I love cooking but, for me, cooking is a solitary activity. I put on Jazz on the radio, tell my husband not to disturb me until I'm done, and calm my mind. While cooking, I let my thoughts roam: I might think of a cooking process I read in the newspaper and incorporate that in my cooking; I might think back on a problem I'm facing and come up with a solution; or I might just feel content and happy. It is a little like meditation and, thus, I'll miss it when I've not cooked for a while.
However, I do not cook gourment meals all the time. In fact, I'd describe my cooking as home-cooked meals: delicious (or my husband will complain), simple (ie. not fancy), and satisfying. I can't stand those meals which put appearance first before quality (and quantity :D).
This album contains a collection of photographs of my 'successful' meals. I may put the recipes once in a while or upon request. Each photograph contains description of how I come up with the dish or a little recipe. This album will be constantly updated whenever I come across new cooking. Personally, this album will help me when I plan for our weekly menu.
Feel free to be tempted!

 | Recipe upon request? Hmm.. mau yg ini! *nunjuk foto mie ayam* |
| waaa roasted eggplant, my current fave!
ps. ven, gue suka deh bentuk piring2mu yg 'kotak' itu |
| asiknyaaa.. hidangan tepat utk dinikmati di cuaca dingin, sambil ngobrol2 santai.. |
 | Hihihihi Tita, ya sudah. Nanti gue masukin ke kotak resep :D. Piring kotak itu gue beli di Jkt (Hankook). Gue cuma punya 2 biji :p. |
 | hankook? hihihi.. gw juga demen ama produk2nya dia... |
| Samaaa :D. Gue nyesel Sintul gak beli satu set. Mana gue tau piring di sini sangat2 mahal dengan kualitas yg aneh (dan benernya dari Hankook juga :p). Tadinya prinsip irit: 2 piring, 2 sendok gitu2, mikir sapa lah yg mo dateng. Hik..hik.. rupanya gue kadang2 harus ngundang org makan di rumah (karena gue diundang mereka). Jadilah gue selalu kekurangan piring :p. |
 | info tambahan buat penggemar hankook: beli 100pcs dapet diskon 20% ...hohohohoho |
 | Sama-sama Ven Glad you like it  |
 | asik...asik...mau summer...gua kemarin baru unpack baju2 tebel, bentar lagi dingin...brrrr.. |
 | Saya juga mau yang ini eeeh kayanya yum yum...lecker! dikasih sambal yang pedas wah..tambah yum yum! |
 | gila, ngeliat fotonya gua ampe ngiler. Btw, for my wife, cooking is also a solitary activity. She cook, and I'll be outside, pray that we don't have to go to the doctor again this time... |
| Hihih, sama San. Hari ini unpack baju2 tebel lagi soalne... salju lagi :(( :((. Gila bener |
| Hehehe... beres. Bakmi deh kalo gitu yg saya masukin ke resep :D |

| bookshop wrote on Jun 8, '06, edited on Jun 8, '06 Makasih Ta. Gue juga mikir gitu, makanya nanya. Ini org sapa, gue gak kenal. Tiba2 bilang begitu. Emang gue makan kayak apa tiap hari? Bawa2 celaka segala. Kita tunggu deh konprensi pers aja :D.
PS: Ini kedua kalinya gue dapet komen sembarangan dari orang yg gak di kenal di MP. Yg pertama, gue PM sampe akhirnya di hapus. Ternyata dia menganggap komen2 dia lutju. Heran yah... Di dunia maya orang kayaknya lupa. Padahal kalo ketemu orang baru sambil makan2 enak di resto misalnya, bakal gak kita ngomong gitu? Ya gak kan? Norma2 kesopanan bilang itu gak SOPAN. |
| Waduh ... maaf, enggak bermaksud sama sekali untuk menyinggung secara personal. Tulisan itu lebih terdorong karena pengalaman negatif seorang teman karena hobbynya pada makanan ... Dia lumpuh karena stroke, ironis memang dia menderita justru karena hobbynya ...
Secara personal saya tidak ingin ada pengalaman negatif lain lagi yang bisa menimpa teman-teman yang lain ... Hanya itu ...
Sekali lagi mohon maaf, tidak bermaksud mengganggu sama sekali ... Bila tidak berkenan ... Saya tarik kembali semua ungkapan yang mungkin bisa ditafsirkan secara keliru ...
Terima kasih ...

| bookshop wrote on Jun 8, '06, edited on Jun 8, '06 Makasih Andre atas penjelasannya. Saya bingung aja, kita kan gak kenal gitu dan saya merasa kayak di'tuduh' tiap hari makan enak. Padahal gak 'enak' tuh makanan itu dan gak tiap hari. Ya, kasus ditutup deh. Makasih kembali. |
 | baru lagi nih...kelihatan very yummy.... |
