WhatSoEver Baker

Hey ho, i was so itchy wanted to make some food which is baked.
so here i go !

YESTERDAY
when i woke up in the morning i make a cup of instant coffee, then suddenly i took a bowl and started to mix chocolate powder, instant coffee and sugar. I was thinking "what am i doing?" and whatever ! i make a batter.
100 ml warm chocolate milk ( i pour my hot coffee into it ) and 1 tsp dry yeast, let it foam.
then, i mixed the chocolate, coffee and sugar with the foamed yeast.
Add the mixture into:
1 cup of all purpose flour
1 whole egg
mix all the ingredients.
i rested the batter about 30 minutes, then i pour into aluminum baking dish. set the oven into 180 degree celcius.
bake the batter for 45 minutes. And voila ! CHOCOFFEE YEAST CAKE !

as blur as my mind and the recipe, the taste is also blur. hahaha. Less sweet. but this is good companion for hot coffee ! XD

TODAY
 i woke up almost mid day, then i was really wanted to eat a caramelized onion pizza, as just a moment after i woke up and went to bath room, i mix a dough. i look up into allrecipes.com
then i develop my own.

pizza dough :
3 shooter of all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp margarine
i make a foamed yeast with 100 ml warm water and 1 tsp dry yeast and little sugar
mix all the ingredients, and rest for 30 minutes.

while i was waiting the dough proof, i ran to supermarket to bought onion, chicken and some food stock.
when i came back the dough was already proof and ready to roll.
after the dough rolled by dodo and put onto baking tray, i made the topping.

caramelized onion :
about 150 gr sliced onion and 1 tbsp margarine, put into pan with medium heat, stir it once in a while. until lightly brown. don't burn it !
chicken floss :
100 g boiled chicken boneless, torn the flesh, then dry saute in non stick pan until little dry.
grind the dried chicken with 2 cloves of garlic (uleg). put into non stick pan, saute again the grind chicken, add pepper and salt.
sliced tomato :
sliced tomato cherry into thin slice, sprinkle with salt.

all was set !
i put the caramelized onion onto the dough , sprinkle the chicken floss, then arrange the sliced tomato cherry.
last, sprinkle dried basil, oregano and few salt.
bake in the 180 degree celcius for 15 minutes, take out from the oven and brush the edges with margarine, and baked again in 200 degree celcius until the edges slightly brown.
Voila ! NATURAL PIZZA.

hooosshhh ! this pizza has light taste so good without any sauce and the very good friends of cold beer !
after the last bite of this pizza i just "let's make a pizza again !" hahhha.

Jatiluhur chapter

Jatiluhur !
It's a reservoir in purwakarta, west java, Indonesia.
this was my first time to go there. my friends (boys) asked me to come with them to fishing for 1 full day. with no arguing i joined them. my expectation was not more than fishing with the boys is like pretending that i am a boy too. so, i dressed up like a sir, brought simple equipment as they asked me and tried to not annoy them.
So, here we go !
Abdul, me (Ainun), Andi, Benz, Ibonk and Harum are the crew. Benz drived us with his car to go there. we arrived in jatiluhur when the sun is ready to set down. The reservoir is sooo large. yuuhuuu...
We packed our equipment and stuff from car to the boat.
I was complaining "why we brought this so many stuff ! we want to fishing or camping?" hahaha, i ashamed to bring those many stuff actually. Whatsoever happened just let them happened !
Mr. Riko is our boat driver.
it was so scary ride the boat, wow, it seems like to sink, the boat was so unsteady. but Mr. Riko is already the expert of being boat driver, so it's safe.
Our destination is raft to stay for fishing in the reservoir edges. Yup, in a raft i would stay ! no toilet and no clean water !! but that was the excitement, i thought !
finally we choose our raft and jump onto it. first word came out from our mouth is "how dirty it is!" Yup, it is. so many rubbish from the past fisher. but the raft is in good condition anyway. Then, we choose our place and unpacked our fishing equipment and stuff. and we started to fishing is about 7 in the evening. The situation was already dark, damp and warm. we started to drank and ate our food. then the boys started to peeing one by one, and i just worried how would i pee? I tried to hold it as long as i could. but, almost mid night i can't hold it anymore, so i went to the darkest part of the raft, on the bridge between the raft i pee. That's my first time pee not in the toilet and in the darkness of reservoir, with boys in front of me. Next !
our night was not to rush because of the fish was not coming fast, so calm and we stared to the reservoir which reflect the lamp light from the fish cages in the middle of it, far from our raft.
boys talk and me ! we laughed together.
I called it relaxation and the fish was not coming again, while we started to sleepy and fall asleep. Andi and ibonk stilled awake and continue to fishing.
i woke up in the morning, enjoying the Sunrise and back to fishing. 
Our day was ready to start again !
Andi the fishing expert and ibonk was the stable. Abdul was the fishing with fun. me, benz and harum are the messy fisher ! hahahah. in the morning there were an old woman drove her boat selling coffee and breakfast. we bought omelet and rice for breakfast (telur dadar dan nasi), very simple breakfast, typically indonesian. after breakfast abdul, harum and benz went to the mountain behind our raft because of their bored and came back when the sun hotter.
the sun started to rise higher and strike us with its light so hard ! yup, so hard ! super hot and burn us all. Abdul, benz, me and harum are surrender. while andi and ibonk still fishing tried to get more fish, but the idiot and wonderful thing is we could fall asleep in the very killing hot sunlight, even ibonk and i were sitting sleep. Woke up again and harum swim in to the reservoir not in the force at all. the fishes are very slow to came, We are all already burn and surrender. Then when the weather started to calm, Mr.Riko came to checking us, ride his kayaking. So surprise when Mr.Riko told us the price of the kayaking. " The local one, like this is 25 milions, then the imported one is 1,4 billions." woohoo, so expensive ! i better buy a home !
Then, we asked Mr.Riko to took his boat and took us back to our car.
We backed to the land with  worried about the boat to sink, again !
the weather was so good and relaxing ! yup, that was my little experience in Jatiluhur reservoir with the boys ! that was not all of the story happened , but it represented the overview.

Passion

whatever they call me, or whatever they know me, they just don't know what i feel today or in the rest of my life !

yes, today i still a student, haven't get job yet. i haven't get my own money and life.
but, i knew that i have Passion in culinary.  what does makes me wanted to write today is because today i made banana cupcakes and watch some video.
i took photos of the banana cupcakes i made, it makes me feel that i was very enjoy and happy doing the photo session and my eyes can not just see a picture of cupcakes, but my eyes were like saying "they have inner beauty, so please show it up !" and i started to make some simple base and background to the cupcakes, covering my window to got a good light, and take some photos from different angle. And eemmm, i didn't know, i just enjoy and love this kind of job, heavenly for me !

while i transfered the photos to my computer and gave them a few edit touch, my friend sent me a video link to watch. the title is  next vs el bulli opening . first time i watched this video i felt like i wanted to have those kind of job, they have passion in not only cooking but also the art of culinary and they do it well and beautifully, i think. and then i click alinea 6 year anniversary , my heart felt more exciting and in my mind i said "it's all about Passion".
but some of the sentences which said by the cook makes me think that why are they mostly a man? and i said to myself "if my passion drawn me to have a man personality, i won't regret to do that kind of personality!" i want do everything to be a professional and creative in culinary world. It made me feel that i want finish my diploma soon, and get a job with great chef who can teach me how to be a professional and creative one and increase my passion.

 I know i can do the best and i deserve the best. the best for me is not always the best for anyone else.

the fat duck

it's not about a duck which has fat under it's skin, or about recipe or menu. The fat duck is one of famous restaurant in the world (if you didn't know, just pretend that it is famous). The fat duck restaurant  placed in High Street, Bray, Berkshire, SL6 2AQ, England. FYI, Heston Blumenthal is one of famous and very talented chef (if you didn't know, please just ask professor google) has became the founder of  The Fat Duck.

what i want to share here are the knowledge which i've found in their website. i'll make some resume or preview or make it short explanation. 

numero un !

Salt in tonic water.
in the website explain it quite long, but the short is "salt can reduce bitterness". how does it ? the scientist still having research on it.

numero duex !

Dry ice for Ice cream.
dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide which easier to but than liquide nitrogen. dry ice doesn't melt in to liquid buy directly into gas. this gas has burn effect in to our lung, but this CO2 can enhance taste and flavor.for the example in soda water, the soda is made from CO2. as long as the CO2 is still in it, the soda water still has a good taste. the only way  to keep the CO2 is to keep it cool.
rather than we have to buy liquide nitrogen which is expensive and hard to find, we can use dry ice. for example if we want to make a quick ice cream, we can mix the milk or yoghurt with crushed dry ice. but make sure that there is no big crushed of the dry ice, so it won't harmful.

numero trois !

ice filtration , it means that we strain liquid by freeze it, then let it thaw in the chiller by using tammy cloth or muslin or cheese cloth as the strainer and a container below it. for example to make very clear stock without any dirt. the dirt will strain with the gelatine above. we can use this method for puree or juices. but this method can't be used for strain milk, because the milk fat doesn't perfectly freeze so the fat can't be strained.

for more explanation you can open the website the fat duck .

Mati Muda

ingin ku mati muda
bukan berarti menyerah pada keadaan, bukan berarti tak mau sukses, dan bukan berarti berfikiran buruk dan tak memiliki mimpi
ingin ku mati muda
bukan berarti ketika beranjak tua lalu bunuh diri
ingin ku mati muda karena mati itu adalah bagian dari fase-fase kehidupan yaitu fase mati
semoga aku mati dengan mudah dan bisa mengucapkan syahadat
mati muda bukan berarti umurku yang muda
mati muda supaya antri penimbangan amal dan dosaku cepat
karena aku tak ingin menyusahkan dan membebani orang-orang di sekitarku terlalu lama
aku yang kini masih belum bisa membanggakan keluargaku dan masih menjadi suatu kebodohan dalam keluarga

apa yang ada dipikiran mereka biarlah tetap menjadi sesuatu yang aku tak pernah tahu
supaya aku tetap bisa menjalankan kehidupanku dengan pemikiranku sendiri
egoku yang masih tinggi dan terlalu memkirkan diriku sendiri ini menyiksaku
uang yang tak kunjung datang untukku
uang yang menurutku masih menjadi segala
dan uang pula salah satu alasanku ingin mati muda
biaya-biaya hidup yang tak terhitung ini masih menyiksa batinku
tidak secara ragawi yang makin membuatku subur dan makmur ini

inginku mati muda karena aku masih berat akan pikiran bagaimana masa depanku ini
berfikir aku ini hanya mengharapkan bukan menginginkan
karena aku ingin hidup dengan jiwa dan pikiran yang selalu muda
semoga hidupku bermanfaat untuk orang lain dan sekitarku
dan mati sebelum masa manfaatku habis

muda bukan sekedar segar, namun juga berkembang dan berkarya
muda walaupun sel-sel tubuh dan otakku tak lagi beregenerasi
dengan apapun pemikiran orang lain, aku tetap memiliki penikiran mati muda itu lebih tidak menyiksa orang-orang yang ditinggalkan, karena memori masa hidupku yang sedikit untuk dikenang
karena hidup itu memang singkat maka percepat kesuksesan dan segera akhir 

itulah mati muda 

indonesia should have this kind of food system !

good life start from good food start from good plant !
this video is very inspiring for me. people especially children should have a better habit of eating. they can do this kind of program why we don't?
indonesia has very wide fertile land and has many people who has experience in planting and farming, but why we don't have this kind of program?
we can adapt their system or maybe we can make our own program. indonesia government maybe is too busy manage their corrupt people, or maybe the indonesian people are too busy complaining our government system so we can not see other critical problem. So can we just start to think and act the reality to make a better eating habit of our civil ??
but how? i don't have enough money or community yet which i can start it. and i don't know how to start?
take a look to their system !

dulu ibu sekarang aku

dulu sewaktu kecil aku suka sekali makan macaroni schootel buatan ibu, tapi karena sekarang aku sudah kuliah kitchen jadi aja ibu gak pernah lagi buat macaroni schootel. setiap pulang ke jogja kalau ngidam schootel yaa masak sendiri untuk sekeluarga. so sedih ! tapi kalo masak sendiri jadi bisa improve macam-macam yang menyimpang dari resep ibu. dan ibu pun sekarang kalau ditanya resepnya juga lupa-lupa ingat. yaahh aku sudah tahu inti bahan dan cara masaknya lah, jadi ya sudah ini lah macaroni schootel buatanku.

schootel/schotel itu sendiri artinya apaan juga aku tidak tahu pasti. aku tahu dari beberapa orang kalau shootel itu katanya dari belanda. apapun itu yang pasti inti dari memasak schootel adalah ROYALE = susu+telur. royale ditambah inainu kemudian dipanggang atau dikukus ditambah keju jadilah schootel.

Macaroni Schootel

Ingredients :

2 sdm          margarine (bukan mentega)

100 g          bawang Bombay/onion (iris tipis)

200 g          daging cincang

1 bh            tomat merah matang (potong dadu)

600 ml        susu putih cair

½ bh           pala (parut) atau 1 sdt pala powder

1 sdt           gula putih

Secukupnya         garam&merica

250 g          macaroni kering ( rebus smp ¾ matang)

2 btr            telur ayam

Keju cheddar sebanyak-banyaknya ^_^

Method :

1.   Panaskan oven 180ºc-200ºc.

2.   Panaskan wajan, masukan margarine. Tumis onion smp harum dan ada layu. Masukan daging giling dan tomat. Aduk hingga tomat lumat.

3.   Masukan susu, pala, gula, garam dan merica. Cicipi dengan rasa dominan pala dan merica yang menyampur dengan daging matang.

4.   Masukan macaroni dan matikan api.

5.   Tunggu hingga hangat kira-kira 50ºc, masukan telur, aduk hingga rata. Kemudian masukan kedalam Loyang yang sudah diolesi blueband.

6.   Taburi dengan keju cheddar parut. Panggang selama ±45 menit atau hingga susu asat dan keju menjadi kecoklatan.

7.   Voila ! your macaroni schootel is ready to hit !

 

Ps :     + resep diatas bisa disantap untuk 4-5 orang. bisa juga untuk 50 orang tapi satu orang 1 sendok teh. Family portion laah.

          +kadang aku nambahin corn cream soup instan yang di cairin kemudian disaring dan dimasukan barengan dengan telur. 

           +kalau mau pake keju lain bisa pake mozzarella, tapi kalau sudah dingin jadi kurang enak. Kalau parmesan ati-ati pas memanggangnya dia cepet gosong, jadi mending kalau sudah mau mateng baru ditaburin dan di panggang sebentar lagi.

           +  makan macaroni schootel itu enaknya pakai saus tomat botolan dan nasi putih hangat ! haahaha. indonesian habit, semua enak pakai nasi.

oh no ! saya jadi menginginkan macaroni schootel, tapi kuliah belum libur dan belum bisa pulang ke jogja.
