Hotpot gratis

4 Februari 2010, Kamis

Udah dari kemarin2 ngincer beli hotpot coz hotpot yang lama rusak, dipencet ga bisa kluar air panasnya. Emang si uda lamaa banget, ada kali 7 tahun berarti emang udah mesti waktunya ganti baru kale yaa..

So dari minggu kemaren uda kluar masuk toko listrik, nyari barang n harga yang pas..blom ketemu2, ada yang barangnya ok, tapi harganya boook, ga tahan dah..mahal beeng. Hari ini pas suami libur, jadi berkunjung da ke toko listrik yang ga jauh dari rumah.


Minggu lalu juga uda liat ke toko ini, tapi gw nya yang masih bertahan ga mo beli dulu, mo liat toko laen, sapa tau ada yang lebih ok n lebih murah..hihi.
Akhirnya nyampe nih toko, liat punya liat, ternyata lagi ada sale hohoho, barangnya cuman ada 5 biji n tinggal 2 doang...akhirnya dengan semangat gw langsung ambil nih barang, coz murah banget, setengah harga dari harga semula..wowow..

Pas mo bayar, gw keluarin kartu point. Kartu point ini kalo kita beli barang disitu kita dapet point, 10 persen dari harga barang. Misalnya seribu, pointnya jadi 100. Nah kartu point gw ternyata melebihi dari harga hotpot yang sale itu, jadi nya kita bayar aja pake point, so gw dapet gratisss tuh hotpot...hohoho...niceee--

This wasn't supossed to happened...!

Yes, because it was supossed that today I would write about our last day at Berlin, I know... but... it has been a long day!!

I wouke up early in the morning because I had to fix some papers in the center; after that, I walked a while, leaving my CV in some shops... yes, I'm looking for a job!
Later, I came home and saw the new season of Lost... Ohmylost!! And at 5 o'clock I was at Urgell because I had a an appointment with a guiding for searching a job... but suddely, my phone started to ring; it was my friend Vega, who said that in their Calire's shop they're looking for a girl... and they want me for an interview... so please, wish me luck for tomorrow!

And now the most amazing thing: today, I helped to save a life. Yes. I was in the underground, and I found my friend MarĂ­a Baeta walking throught the red line. After chatting a little bit, we said bye and I keep my way... until I found a guy on the floor. He was a inmigrant, and seemed like he was not breathing... so I put him in the lateral position, checked if he was breathing (hopefully yes) and asked for help. Some passersby stopped and helped me then too ... and soon the ambulance arrived.

This makes me think about life, death and how we sometimes waste our time with stupid things. I mean, what if I can't buy a pair of Prada shoes? What if I can't get a Miu Miu dress? What if I'm on two extra kilos? We only live once, as the Strokes said... And we should enjoy life love ourselves; and smiling, particularly real smiling.

Today I feel happy because, after all my life, after all the good and the bad things; I'm alive...

So today, let me put philosophical... let me think about life...

 
  
  
  


So please, keep all this things in mind.


Wonderful video I found with one of my favourite songs and translated into spanish, for those spanish readers who never had listen to this song properly. 

Thanks for reading, tomorrow I'll try to do an outfit post, read all your comments (and answer them, of course) and talk about our last day at Berlin!

Thai Rice Pudding



4pm must have been a magical time for my mother.

Once my brother and I arrived home from school the tranquillity of the empty house dissipated so rapidly she could be forgiven for thinking it had been mere reverie.

Gasping through the hormonal fug of both early and mid adolescence – there are four years between us – we were mostly unpleasant both to each other and, regretfully, to her, by association. I have no idea how she put up with it and am not surprised that the occasional outburst came our way.

The debilitating and damning effects of the chemical surge were exasperated by hunger (probably because lunch had gone uneaten) and on entering the house the first question was always ‘What’s for tea?’ quickly followed by ‘When?’

Whatever the answer, we would head to the cereal cupboard to sate the hunger brought on by double Chemistry last thing in the afternoon or French lessons with the formidable Mrs. Losse (thanks to whom I will never, ever forget how to conjugate etre and avoir).

Cereal was our go-to, our emergency, our stop gap.

But not always.

There were a few occasions every month, more often in the winter when the weather made us more receptive to it, when a fresh rice pudding would have been slowly cooking in the oven. The soul-fulfilling smell of rice, milk and nutmeg was a great welcome home. Piled into bowls and topped with cinnamon and brown sugar or honey.

On those days we left the fighting until at least five o’clock.

An hour’s peace in exchange for rice pudding? Sounds like a good deal.

Thai Rice Pudding




This is a Thai-rice pudding as opposed to a Thai rice-pudding. The grains are of the fragrant jasmine variety which lends an extra level or warmth to the dish. They are particularly glutinous and sticky as well making for a hearty and satisfying dish just as good last thing at night as it is for breakfast with a cup of coffee.

One part Thai rice
Three/Four parts milk depending on how runny you like your rice pudding
Butter
Brown sugar
Nutmeg

Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the rice, stir the grains until they are coated with the butter then add the milk. Bring to an easy simmer, stir in as much or as little sugar as you like and a fine dusting of nutmeg (whenever I use mutmeg I always think of Anthony Bourdain’s advice, namely ‘go easy’).

Cook for 45 minutes in a pre-heated oven at about 130 degrees C by which point the rice should be cooked. Check halfway through – add more liquid if it needs it. This is an instinctive dish – you’ll know if it’s too dry.

It keeps in the fridge for about a week – great for spooning out and reheating at opportune moments to be topped with a dollop of strawberry jam or nuts and seeds if you are feeling virtuous.
