Home-made Ice Cream & Apple Pie!!!!!

Mama has always been creative in making us a forever captive and being captured by our lust for craving, well..and why is that? Simply by shoveling us irresistible ice cream and apple pie like this, for instance. One thing for sure, though, it's yummier.  

Orea-flavored and strawberry-flavored ice cream is mine and the kids's favorite, respectively. And since summer is on, it's hard to keep a promise of diet or refraining from NOT eating these. 

And what about these ones? These are apple pie!!! Yes, she baked her own apple pie. 

And that adds to my surmounting fear of not being able to reduce my intake of sugar^^

Oh, what the heck..I once said.
oh, no..not again. But, then ..she reassured that it may be different from the ones being sold at large in any bakery shoppe. 

But, thank you, Mama..for making these delicacies at the comfort of home.

Uci's Birthday (part 1)

 

Today is our friend's mother's birthday. Yup, it's our friend-neighbor: mas Chairul's mom-in-law or Mbak Dian's mother's birthday. Since we are subway-line-6-family which means that we are just a few minutes away by subway, mas Chairul invited us to come for a dinner over Uci (or Arnis Saber's birthday) oh..it's his Mom's name.

What would a traditional birthday without nasi tumpengan* be? 

*a mountain-shaped rice with side-dish surrounding it.

As for the other main menu that we had, since Uci comes from Padang, West Sumatra....any fiesta like this would not have been complete without the representative cuisine of the region: no other than Rendang.

I needed not to worry though there were more meat than usual, since there were also some side dish like vegetable saute  &.....this one: apple pie that my wife made.

It's scrumptious!!!!!! 

We so happened to have lots of apples at home (thanks to my friend Mr. Panjo who sent us a box of apples:)

Okay..these were (only some of the) dish we had today: fried eggs, anchovies sambal, nasi tumpeng, rendang, lalapan, lontong, lontong sayur, and apple pie.

and.... 

a surprise from om Wawan: molen pisang!! yeaach. .it's like a pancake with banana inside. 

This is om Wawan. He made these molen pisang!!!!

Wow, it must've taken a lot of time and energy to make these molen pisang.

Eyra's First Apple Pie

I think it's good to know that Eyra--my daughter--sort of inherits or follows what her Mom does best: cooking:)







It's nice to know that she loves cooking.
I can't wait to taste what she can make later on in Korea...^^


Now, I can enjoy what she does via these pictures, first.
