Food Again

I did not plan this to be a food or cooking blog
To be honest I am not very fond of cooking
Cooking is my responsibility
Often I cook to avoid wasting some produce

Lemon bundt cake
I baked it because I almost threw some lemons
( 2 of them already being cut off to make the sambal )

Vanilla Chocolate Gelatin
I have these gelatin packages from Indonesia for almost 2 1/2 years
Gotta do something about them

At first I plan this blog to be more about my hobbies ...
I love reading , watching movies, musical, sightseeing
I love to write more about them
But often things that I plan did not come true...
( weak self determination )
In my life , a lot of things unfolding themselves... heheheheh...

Once Baked Once Fried Potato Fritters

I've bought a bag of red potatoes two weeks ago
What should I do with them ?
They can grow some sprouts in a few days
And the sprouts are poisonous
http://www.chow.com/food-news/54631/are-sprouted-potatoes-poisonous/

Our family is not very fond of potatoes actually
It's because I shopped with two friends who love potatoes
I bought them too
Spur of the moment sort of things...

Okay, I'll make potato fritter
My mom usually frying the potatoes..mashing ..mixing with seasoning , meat , and eggs
Shaping then deep frying

I look up the recipes in the internet.. and yes... also twice fried
I think maybe I can bake them instead of frying it ..
I slice the potatoes into big chunks.. give them a little bit of oil wash..
( or put some cooking spray .. too bad it's not available in my pantry at this moment )
Bake them in 400 F oven for 30 min..
Then turn up the temp for 425 , bake for another 10 mins to crisp the skin
Mash untill soft.. Put seasoning, sliced scallion and celery leaves.. also ground dried shrimp ( since I don't have canned corned beef or cooked ground beef ), and egg.....fold untill everything nicely combined
Shape into balls... then deep fry...

I eat them with rice cooked in coconut milk , keffir lime leaves, indian bay leaves and tumeric ...
Mmhmmm mhhhmmm yummy...
 

THE HELP

You probably heard the buzz about the book and the movie.

Good story line, wonderful acting, not to mention hilariously funny too

I just want to say I love the clothes ..(  Wish I lived in the 60s  for fashion's sake...)

I think the blue cardigan is very cute.

The brown print dress is pretty ..but I'd be happier to have it 

as a simple blouse to wear with a jeans or khaki pants

My mom used to have the same style of dress as the red wine one...

 I love the neck of the yellow dress with a brown lining and a cute button as an accent
The pink with a brown line on the neck is also cute...

Sophie will like this dress..if there were a matching one for the doll, will be so much better
