Delicious Crispy Onion Ring

What is on your mind now? Suddenly feel hungry? hahahaha......
Couple days ago, I made Onion ring. After I read lots of recipes from the Internet, peoples blogs, finally I found my own conclusion, from gathering recipes around the world (hehehe, kidding). Here they are the ingredients:

• 200 gr Onion (the big one, cut into ring shape, about 0.5 cm thick, peel each layer off and rest those cuts on towel paper)
• 75 gr wet flour ( add 50-100 ml of cold water, some pinch of salt, and one egg white)
• 100 gr dry flour (add salt, grinded pepper, chili or paprika powder, and garlic powder, how much? follow your instinct)

 How to make:

1. put the onion into the wet flour;
2. after that, move it into the dry flour, until its covered;
3. resting the covered onions for a while;
4. fry those onion ring until golden brown, make sure the oil temperature not too hot.
5. taraaa. enjoy the delicious crispy onion ring.

# this recipe can feed your whole family, for 4 people (as a snack ).

For the left overs flour, onion, and the egg yolk; mix the wet and the dry, egg yolk and the onion in a bowl, add some water, stir it and pour into the pan (like pancake), cook it and flip it until it's done. So you get an onion pancake, you may add some chili sauce or ketchup.

Cooking and tasting are just about follow our instinct.

Sister's Day Out #2

Masih di hari yang sama, kami lanjut ke Museum Gunung Merapi. Lokasinya sebelum Gerbang Kaliurang.

Dengan tiket Rp 3000,- kita sudah bisa masuk dan melihat isi museum yang dipamerkan di sana. Mulai dari pengetahuan dasar tentang Geologi, Vulkanologi dan teman-temannya, juga dokumentasi sejarah Erupsi Gunung Merapi dari tahun 1900-an sampai yang terakhir di tahun 2010.
Kalau mau lebih lengkap lagi, kita juga bisa melihat dokumentasi film tentang Gunung Merapi di Mini Teater dengan nambah tiket seharga Rp 5000,-.

This is my sister, Hanum, di depan salah satu foto yang dipamerkan (di fotonya ada Sri Sultan HB IX lho)

Kalau yang ini dokumentasi akibat Erupsi Merapi tahun 2010 kemarin.

Hmmm, ndak rugi ternyata gagal ke Ullen Sentalu, malah dapet dua destination yang ngga kalah bagus. Tapi, ke Ullen Sentalu-nya tetap dijadwalkan lho, masih penasaran. ^^

Sister's day out #1

Beberapa waktu yang lalu, saya dan Hanum (adikku), merencanakan buat pergi berdua sadja dengan tujuan kemana sadja. Akhirnya, kami memutuskan akan pergi ke Museum Ullen Sentalu di Kaliurang sana.

Tanggal 19 Desember 2011 dengan semangat 45 dan berbekal selembar peta hasil download-an dari website, kami berangkat jam 9 pagi menuju Kaliurang. Cuaca yang cerah membuat kami tambah semangat pergi kesana. Setelah mendaki gunung lewati lembah selama 45 menit, kami sampai di tempat tujuan.  Tarrraaaa! Akhirnya sampai juga di Museum Ullen Sentalu!

Tapi saat mau memarkir sepedamotor, kami tidak bisa masuk! karena mereka lagi nunggu rombongan tour 200 orang dari Tangerang, dan kami kehabisan guide, huehuehue :'( kami ndak jadi ke Ullen Sentalu.

Dengan rasa kecewa akhirnya kami mencari tempat tujuan lain, dimana lagi yang deket2 situ kalo bukan ke Taman Wisata Kaliurang dengan Tlogo Putrinya.

Ternyata rasa kecewa kami terbayar, kami langsung menuju ke air terjunnya, waaahhhh, air terjunnya bagus, karena masih pagi, belum banyak orang juga, jadi kami bisa sepuasnya foto-foto.

 

 Kami juga menemukan kursi-kursi unik di sana, ini salah satunya:

Bahan renungan

I found a great article,

The Green Thing

In the line at the store, the cashier told an older woman that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags weren’t good for the environment.
The woman apologized to her and explained, “We didn’t have the green thing back in my day.”
The clerk responded, “That’s our problem today.  Your generation did not care enough to save our environment.”

She was right — our generation didn’t have the green thing in its day.

Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over.  So they really were recycled.
But we didn’t have the green thing back in our day.

We walked up stairs, because we didn’t have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn’t climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks.
But she was right. We didn’t have the green thing in our day.

Back then, we washed the baby’s nappies because we didn’t have the throw-away kind.

We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy gobbling machine burning up 220 volts — wind and solar power really did dry the clothes.  Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing. But that lady is right; we didn’t have the green thing back in our day.

Back then, we had one TV, or radio, in the house — not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen the size of the state of Montana.
In the kitchen, we blended and stirred by hand because we didn’t have electric machines to do everything for us.
When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used a wadded up old newspaper to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap.

Back then, we didn’t fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power.  We exercised by working so we didn’t need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity.
But she’s right; we didn’t have the green thing back then.

We drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water.
We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull.
But we didn’t have the green thing back then.

Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service.
We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances.  And we didn’t need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 2,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest pizza joint.

But isn’t it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn’t have the green thing back then?
Please forward this on to another selfish old person who needs a lesson in conservation from a smartass young person.

Hmmm, bahkan orang yang hidup pada beberapa dekade yang lalu lebih ramah lingkungan ya!
Jadi inget, ibuku sering cerita tentang beda sedapnya nasi sekarang dengan nasi jaman beliau kecil. Dulu semua organik, tanaman tumbuh tanpa pupuk buatan pabrik, ayam diberi makan biji-bijian sisa hasil panen, tidak dikurung -diumbar- kata ibuku, jadi ayamnya sehat dan bernutrisi.
Bahkan tempe pun berasal dari kedelai lokal, bukan hasil rekayasa genetika dari Amerika sana.
Nenek kita dulu keramas rambutnya pake merang, pake gel tanaman lidah buaya, pake minyak kelapa.
Bagaimana dengan kita?
