Purple Angel's Cooking

Merry Christmas!!!

Hehehe, a little bit too early but I think its okay because I really can’t wait for Christmas. I don’t know why, but I get so excited to face Christmas this year.

For me the importance of Christmas is not the celebration, but the meaning of Christmas it self. In this Christmas I want to do self introspection, like whether I loved God as much as He loves me or do I love Him more than my hobby (bento-ing). Hehehe, it's silly but I really think about it.

So, I don’t post any bento today. I just post my “Rum and Raisin Pancake Rolls”. Love the color so much! Nothing special in the pancake, I make it purple because there’s raisin in the filling, raisin means grape and grape means purple! Hihihi, another silly thought. The filling is sooo yum yum! I don’t even expect I can make a filling that taste so good!

Ja, itadakimasu!

Its snack time!

Camilan kali ini namanya “Rum Balls”. Aku suka banget rum balls karena bikinnya gampang dan rasanya enak . Ini bahan-bahan yang diperlukan:

Bahan:

· Biskuit marie

· Susu kental manis

· Rum

· Meses

Cara:

1. Hancurkan biskuit marie sampai halus seperti di gambar berikut (punya ku nggak terlalu halus sih, hehehe)

2. Campurkan biskuit marie tadi dengan rum dan susu kental manis secukupnya, aduk sampai kalis/tidak lengket

3. Bentuk bola-bola, balut dengan meses, dinginkan di kulkas sekitar 10-15 menit (bukan di freezer)

Gampang kan? Takaran bahan yang diperlukan disesuaikan dengan selera dan jumlah bola yang ingin dibuat.

Selamat mencoba!!!

Everybody starts making Christmas theme Bento…I hope I can make one too. Since I’m still busy doing my thesis, I have no time to think about Christmas theme bento design. But I want to welcome Christmas as well. So instead of making bento I made a snowy snack!

“Snowy Sweet Potato Ball”. It’s a very simple snack. All you have to do is just steam the sweet potato, mashed it, add a little bit of water and cornstarch and fry it. Don’t forget to sprinkle powdered sugar on the top of it and it’s done!

By the way, sometime I used Japanese word in my post and maybe not all of you know the meaning. So here is a simple little Japanese-English-Indonesian dictionary:

Yatta: Yeay!; Asik!

Ja: Well; Jadi

Itadakimasu: Enjoy your meal; Selamat makan

Ganbatte: Good luck; Semangat

In this post I also want to say thank you to all my blog readersand blog friends. Your comments and feedback really give me support to keep cooking and bentoing. Checking my stats always makes happy because I saw many people looking for bento information trough Google come to my blog (specially from Indonesia) and I know I have the information. It’s nice to share! So I’ll try my best to give all of you not only bentos and food picture but also information where to get the tools and the ingredients. Feel free to ask, correcting or adding information!

Ja, itadakimasu!
