Bali Cooking Class,Lovina Cooking School, Food Informations
Bali cuisine reflects the vast variety created by the people who live on the 6,000 populated islands that make up the modern nation of Indonesia. There is not a single "Indonesian" cuisine, but rather, a diversity of regional cuisines formed by local Indonesian cultures and foreign influences. Indonesian cuisine reflects its complex cultural history. Cooking varies greatly by region and combines many different influences.^[1]
Throughout its history, Indonesia has been involved in trade due to its location and natural resources. Additionally, Indonesia’s indigenous techniques and ingredients were influenced by India, the Middle East, China, and finally Europe. Spanish and Portuguese traders brought New World produce even before the Dutch came to colonize most of the archipelago. The Indonesian islands The Moluccas (Maluku) which are famed as "the Spice Islands", also contributed to the introduction of native spices, such as cloves and nutmeg, to Indonesian and global cuisine.

Indonesia is the home of sate; one of the country's most popular dishes, there are many variants across Indonesia.

Some popular Indonesian dishes such as nasi goreng,^[2] gado-gado,^[3] sate,^[4] and soto^[5] are ubiquitous in the country and considered as Indonesian national dishes.
Sumatran cuisine, for example, often shows Middle Eastern and Indian influences, featuring curried meat and vegetables, while Javanese cuisine is rather more indigenous. The cuisines of Eastern Indonesia are similar to Polynesian and Melanesian cuisine. Elements of Chinese cuisine can be seen in Indonesian cuisine: items such as bakmi (noodles), bakso (meat balls), and lumpia have been completely assimilated.
The most popular dishes that originated in Indonesia are now common across much of Southeast Asia. Popular Indonesian dishes such as satay, beef rendang, and sambal are also favoured in Malaysia and Singapore. Soy-based dishes, such as variations of tofu (tahu) and tempe, are also very popular. Tempe is regarded as a Javanese invention, a local adaptation of soy-based food fermentation and production. Another soy-based fermented food is oncom, similar to tempe but created by different fungi and particularly popular in West Java.
Indonesian meals are commonly eaten with the combination of a spoon in the right hand and fork in the left hand, although in many parts of the country (such as West Java and West Sumatra) it is also common to eat with one's hands. In restaurants or households that commonly use bare hands to eat, like in seafood foodstalls, traditional Sundanese and Minangkabau restaurants, or East Javanese pecel lele (fried catfish with sambal) and ayam goreng (fried chicken) foodstalls, they usually serve kobokan, a bowl of tap water with a slice of lime in it to give a fresh scent. This bowl of water with lime in it should not to be consumed, however; it is used to wash one's hand before and after eating. Eating with chopsticks is generally only found in foodstalls or restaurants serving Indonesian adaptations of Chinese cuisine, such as bakmie or mie ayam (chicken noodle) with pangsit (wonton), mie goreng (fried noodle), and kwetiau goreng (fried flat rice noodles).artikel from wikipedia

Trend: extreme summer layering

I caught up with Johnny the founder of vintage store Snowy Wilderness soaking up the sun on Atlantic Avenue. I was quite taken with his "summer layering" look, which he says he's stolen from his little brother - who would wear sports shorts underneath his school uniform for speedy change over in the summer. "Its an outfit beneath an outfit!" he says, "I'm channeling the PlayStation generation". Weirdly i love it.

small birthday surprise to put a smile on his face.

assalamualaikum! :) good morning!

i haven't sleep yet, and it is now 4:15am. ngee. just a little quick post. yesterday, 26th of april 2011, was namin's birthday. i currently had no car to drive on my own, since my cousin used mine for the time being, so, i have to asked kma to sent me to namin's house. it wasn't actually a birthday surprise since he is aware of me coming to his house, to lend him my scanner & in the other hand, to accompany & help him to finish up his model for his FYP as a interior design student.

and so, i bought a cake --- cheeze choc at Wangsa Walk's secret recipe, and arrived at his house around 11am. since it is weekdays, as i was expecting, they were only 4 of us - namin. mama. ayah. and me. unfortunately, his sisters & brother is not around to celebrate with us. :(

I asked him to help me to carry all my stuff, which are my laptop and scanner. And last but not least, his birthday cake! As soon as i took secret recipe's paper bag out of the car, he began to smile and said "eh, eh, eh, eh" HAHA. he just couldn't stop smiling! :D

simple birthday card from me.

and a cake.

a few BUM's shirts from mama & abah.

and this Puma's watch is from me... i'm glad that he loves it so much :)

i couldn't forget his smiling face. i just couldn't be more relief & happy too --- that he loves the cake, the shirts, and the watch. he keep on saying thank you, and look at me, smile, look at the presents again, look at me, and SMILEEEE. :D

he told me that he has no idea that i'm going to give him a watch as a bday present, and he just really do appreciate and love it. by the way, i logged in to his ebay account, and checked out his 'watch list', something quite close to wishlist, and that is how i found out he was looking for a watch!

happy birthday namin!!!

very excited face :P

namin and his mama ayah

we ate few slices of cake for a few minutes, and he continue to settle down his final project, non stop, until now. yes until 4:40am, NOW, he's still at UPM doing his model & panel.

i helped him to scan and translated a few words. print out his panel. bought some spray. and went to UPM, accompanied him at the studio until 2am, which is 2 hours ago. tskkk.

this is what his model looks-alike. almost done!

the truth is, he only spent less than an hour for his birthday today to unwrapped the gifts and ate a slice of cake. kesian kan! sabor je lah, adatlah student semester akhir.

okay till then, i gotta get some sleep. it is almost 5am. take care!

Cheesy Toasts with Tomato and Thyme

Assos is an ancient village dating back to the 4th Century BC and is perched on top of a hillside with a spectacular view of the Greek island of Lesbos.  There is a temple to Athena at the very top. St Paul and Aristotle were there.

the ancient necropolis at the foot of our garden with Lesbos in the background

This  history is what makes it so special for me but in terms of gardening, it is another story. We are high up and very exposed to the elements. The Assos wind is something to be reckoned with.  Those plants have to struggle in order to grow.

Turkish spring amongst the olive groves further down the coast - I love this sight

So we were a bit downcast when we arrived for Easter and saw the garden was still looking on the wintry side. Two days later off we set in the direction of Edremit, a bit down the coast towards say, Izmir. It is distinctly warmer down there and we were in search of plants to add some colour to our garden. We had a particular nursery in mind.

...and we found it

boot full of plants

If you are a serious gardener, you're probably thinking oh those won't survive if the wind is as dire as she says. Well, it's better to try surely!

But why am I telling you all this?

Because we got back at about half past two and we were ravenous.

What do you do when you are put on the spot and have to produce something to eat FAST? My answer is these toasts topped with cheese and tomato, and sprinkled with thyme which in this case our neighbour has dried. The bread is also key: here it is köy ekmeği or village bread, which is what English recipes always call crusty. They slice it in the bakery if you ask, and they slice generously!

nice?

 Pre-heat the oven to 180 C.

Butter the bread before placing the slices of cheese on top. I used sliced cheddar I have to say : it melts so much better than any Turkish cheese I know. Then add a few sliced tomatoes and sprinkle dried thyme over everything.

It takes between 12-15 mins.

tackle with a knife and fork

Afiyet olsun!

By the way, it looks as if the blogspot ban has been lifted!!!! Allelujia!!! Thank you to  Adventures in Ankara ...there's a New Kid in Town I found out this evening!! It has been a stressful two months or so that we here in Turkey have had to live with this ban which we did not deserve. Anyway, it's been lifted :).

 

When Michael Kinsley Starts To Get It

... you know mathematics is winning the argument.

Mr. Kinsley is a lefty pundit with whom I have almost never agreed. Today, however, he's got a "read the whole thing" column with this tibit.

The question remains: If the deficit doesn't matter, why have any taxes at all? And if there is some point at which the deficit does start to matter, and become dangerous, when is that point if $1.6 trillion isn't it?

Seriously, read the whole thing. It's nothing new on this blog, but when it comes from an old hand on the left like Michael Kinsley, it means something.

Frannie's favorite part of each day is our excursion to the "blueberry plains" which are just up the road from our new house. I feel really lucky to have access to this area, as it's a great place for training hawks and falcons, and a really fun and safe place to let a young dog enjoy playing and growing up. This picture really captures the joy that this dog exudes.

This new puppy spends an inordinate amount of time each day being incredibly rude to Sadie, but as usual, the old pointer maintains her signature "zen" approach to life and tolerates an amazing amount of abuse. Thank goodness for Sadie. So far, I think she has trained Frannie more than I have. She's been great at leading the little pup through the routines of each day.

Having been such a fan of pointers and setters for so many years, I didn't really want to get a Vizsla, but after building our new kitchen and putting in counter-tops made of old reclaimed southern yellow pine, I decided that I should pick a breed that went well with the colors of the kitchen. She's a pretty close match. Obviously, I'm joking, but over the years, I've heard of folks choosing a dog breed for reasons more trivial than this.

Betting On People Over Rocks

... and grains and fluids and other commodities.

Ford did well this last quarter.

DETROIT—Ford Motor Co. reported its largest first-quarter profit in 13 years on a recovery in the global economy, a larger portfolio of fuel-efficient vehicles and consumers buying a mix of pickup trucks and cars ...

In fact, Ford boosted its second quarter global production forecast saying it now expects to build 1.5 million new cars and trucks, up by about 12,000 vehicles from the year earlier period.

"We expect our annual volumes to continue to grow substantially, driven primarily by our growing product strength, a gradually strengthening global economy and an unrelenting focus on improving the competitiveness of all of our operations," Chief Executive Alan Mulally said in a statement.

Sitting with friends around the dinner table at Easter, there was a general agreement that Ford was making good cars. Several of us had rented Ford Focuses (Foci?) in the past year and had loved them. Yahoo had a front-page story recently giving the ten worst cars of the year and the only American car company without one on the list was Ford. Ford seems to be doing well by doing things right.

When you invest in commodities, you're investing in objects. Gold is a rock, oil a fluid and wheat a grain. There's been a big run up in commodity prices in the past year as the effects of Ben Bernanke's crazy printing press at the Fed has led to commodity inflation. There was (and is?) money to be made investing in objects.

When you choose forgo commodities to buy stock in a company like Ford, you're betting on human beings over objects. You're gambling that the folks at Ford can take those commodities and make something of even greater value out of them. Everyone knows what's happened with gold and oil lately. The things are going crazy and hitting new highs all the time. How can human beings like those at Ford compete with that?

Pretty well, actually.
Over the past 2 years, commodity funds based on oil (OIL) and gold (GLD) have risen 50%. That's a terrific rate of return. Ford has risen 200%.

Human ingenuity and human resilience is the component most overlooked by the doomsayers. Just like the folks in Portugal who are putting two and two together and figuring out that borrowing vast sums of money to fund their social safety net was not "compassionate" after all, the people at Ford have taken a moribund American auto giant and made something dynamic out of it.

Personally, I'll bet on people over rocks every day of the week.

Warning: An eight week old puppy is extremely cute!

Aside from getting engaged, the other big news of the last few months is that I'm training a new bird dog! This little Vizsla pup has been doing a great job, and seems to be very clever. We named her "Frannie" after the late raptor biologist Francis Hamerstrom, who was an incredible woman. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that little Frannie-pup impresses me as much as the original Mrs. Hamerstrom did.

It's really amazing how quickly this winter raced by. Spring is here, and it's time to go full steam ahead with getting the ice cream shop opened up for another season. Because of the house renovation, I wasn't able to travel this winter, or do much writing, and I made almost no time to paint or build fly-rods. All I can do is hope that I find myself with more free time next winter to get back to some of these things.
