I decided to move all my food related post to my new blog...http://monycozykitchen.blogspot.com/I am not a fancy cook/chef by any means. I am just a girl who has free time while waiting for her husband to come home and don't want to go crazy by doing nothing at home. So I experiment a lot!Some days I don't do well, other days I think I do a pretty good job. The key is if my husband does not like

Today I feel very inspired. I have 1 potato left from my soup but I don't really want to add potato to my oxtail stew. So, I thought maybe I'd just try to make baked potato chips.The thing is, I don't have slicer ...sooo...the only idea I have is to use my peeler. LOL...If you have slicer or you can slice the potato really thin, you are so blessed. Peeler works fine for me too, but it just takes

I try to talk to my parents as often as I can..say maybe once in 2 days at the very least. They live in Jakarta, Indonesia which is thousands of miles from where I live.Since I was a little kid and been taught that we should pray before bed, I always pray for God to give my parents a long and healthy life. This is almost like a everyday chanting before bed and in my first prayer list. LOL. I have

I just bought this awesome cookie pan from Michaels. It's so cute! Thought I'd try make a butter cookie with this pan.I really love the pattern on the cookies. Makes it really look professional although this is the first time I bake butter cookies. LOL. I took 2 pics of them, one before I coated with dark chocolate and one after coated.Recipe (makes 30 cookies):2 cups all purpose flour1/4 tsp

I made this chicken skewer for thanksgiving meal with my "new" family. I was a bit nervous that they may not like it. But I thought, I'd go ahead and brought anyway to introduce them a bit of Indonesian food. Turned out, they loved it! :)))Here is the recipe. You can google and find hundreds of recipe too but I make my own version to simplify.Marinade sauce:4 cloves of garlic- minced finely4

Yesterday began with checking my fridge on what stuffs I can cook. Turned out, no grocery left except for shrimps. Checked the pantry, only found canned corn, spaghetti, green bean, etc. Uh...ohhhh!! Errrrr...so maybe cook Shrimp Scampi Pasta? it's supposed to be easy (although I have never made some) and only use few ingredients like butter, onion, shallot, parsley, lemon (that's what the

Day 01I arrived at Jakarta Airport around 1.30 pm after such a long flight from San Fransisco. I spent about a week from Dec 14 to Dec 21 at San Fransisco where my cousin lives. I wished I had blogged something during that week but there is really nothing to blog about. LOL. I spent my whole week working like a cow because I had to get everything done before my vacation started. I and my cousin

If it's not because of His help, I don't know if I can survive 'till this

It's 96F outside. From the radio, 107.1 FM, it was stated that today could be the hottest day of the year. It feels like 105'F !

But, what is better than channeling my energy and focus to a more useful, fun and money-making activity?After many many yet still not enough research, I am finally planning to open a new business with my partner in crime. It's all still in development plan, but, I am kinda excited

What a fun Saturday! The day started off with going to Scenic Valley Railroad in Boone at 3 pm. We initially planned to go for the train at 1.30 pm but we could not make it. We had a party that ran 'till early morning on Friday night. haha..so some of us had a hard time waking up early(including me) to catch the train at 1 pm. Thus..4 pm train ride sounded better.. :)) About 14 of us went soo it

I can't tell you why coz I don't have the answer either..Hmphhh...I'm just not in a happy place yet right now..I feel like going somewhere far, maybe on top of a building, or go to green pasture where I can lay down and scream like mad..blahhhhhhhhhh

I just found out 3 days ago that there is a new snack from Indonesia that could be the next Chiki.It's called Momogi Stick Snack..and I so love it, especially "Grilled Corn" flavor. The taste is super strong and it's shaped like short sticks..maybe about 3 inches.. But I can't eat it too much coz I know if I do, I will catch sore throat easily..I am still planning for my vacation to Orlando...

It's about Indonesian guy who has a skin disease that made his body full of warts and his hands shaped like tree branches/roots.Argggh...poor guy! He has 2 children that are very normal.Another guy has warts all over his body, shaped like small balloons covering his skins.The other guys has a droopy nose along with the warts..Oohh

Why am I happy today? Is it because today is Friday? true true..I am just happy because I am grateful with what I have..There are things going on in my personal life which could distract me and quite bothersome, but I decided to keep my head high, keep my faith and live on.. :) hopefully the storm shall pass and the rainbow will shine..Anyhow, I just watched the last episode of Tila Tequila

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee! A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was

I had to cover that up with a tissue.. and sometimes I did not realized that a tiny piece of white tissue was showing up at the top of my shirt..and my friend(s) had to pull it down for me or pull it all the way up and threw it away..

Do you believe that God only created/chose one person for each of us?Last Saturday my twin-bro gave me a plastic bag full of his ex-gf's love notes, cards, etc. He wanted me to throw it away, but like any good sister will do.. I had to read most of them before throwing all those "secrets" away :DBasically, all cards said the same thing that they loved each other..bla bla..they can't live without

Cheese brownies is similar like a regular brownies, a rich creamy baked-cake slice, but I used cheese instead of chocolate. LOL....thus, I name it Goldnies (since it is golden color, not brown/chocolate) :P *jayus banget ga sehhh...*Anyhow..I was just experimenting with this recipe..and I think it is pretty good.. I gave some of my goldnies to my folks and they liked it. I am sorry I did not have

Tee.hee..hee..I tried to make martabak manis yesterday since I wanted to finish all my soon-to-be-expired-cheddar-cheese. Soo..I browsed for a good but yet a simple recipe to make this.I can't believe how complicated some recipes are..they told us to wait for 1-2 hr after putting the yeast into the dough...I can't wait that long! Im not patient enough!.. :)Finally, after spending about 30

At first, it's hard to believe that Des Moines, Iowa is ranked #9 as one of the best cities to work, live and play!Reading this article kinda makes me think.."hmm..maybe this is whyy God chose this place for me".."maybe this is why I am not in Mountain View, CA"..LOL!Hopefully one day, when people back home ask where I live, I can say "Iowa" and not having to explain that Iowa IS a different

Maybe it's true what people said .. how you can't get a good result if you're cooking/baking when you heart is just not in a happy place.Yesterday, I was soo exhausted! Been in the office since 6 am (woke up at 4 am) to 4 pm and went to work at my part-time job until 5.30 pm, ran errands until 7 pm.. ..then.. I tried to bake a Swiss-Roll when I got home...The result? :(:(:(..I ended up throwing

It's 6.30 in the morning and I am already sitting in my desk in my office (I have been here since 6 am). No body is here yet and I kinda like this peaceful moment..lol.. nobody bugs me until about 7ish when people actually come..anyhow..just like any other summer.. I am into baking now.. I have made some cakes and I am trying to finish off the cheese that we got for camping supply. I made cheddar

Today is Wednesday..been home for 3 days now..My pals are out of town so I have to spend my week here alone with Chloe, but I am trying to make the best of it. As usual, i got up in the morning, checked my email and applied to some jobs. I had a nightmare last night too.. I dream that I got another "love letter" from the company...aka rejection letter. Gosh... it really made me feel so hopeless

It's Monday...I got back here last evening...It felt a bit weird to see the different scenery after spending 3 weeks in CO. The only thing made me happy to go home is to see my precious baby, Chloe. I haven't seen her for about 3 weeks and I really owe the people who helped me take care of her while I am gone. Thanks guys...u're too kind!!I had some doubts in my mind that maybe Chloe has

This is my last week in CO, I will be flying back this Sunday. I can't believe how time fly! Hmphh...Anyway, I was supposed to have a phone interview with this company but then it was postponed until today. Again, the HR called me and told me that she had an urgent meeting that she cant get out of, that we had to cancel again and plan for tomorrow instead. That makes it twice! Now, I am wondering

Hmmm..what did we do on Friday? We went to Northfield Stapleton. It was such a nice area. You know, I think most of the shopping centers here are outdoor. People's lifestyle are really different than Iowa. They are more into outdoor activities like rock climbing, hiking, fishing, biking, skiing, snowboarding, bla bla bla. Someone told me that Colorado is the lowest obesity state in the nation.

OK, today the funny thing happened! Someone from some company gave me a call but I could not remember who that is and what job is it. Haha! I was soo embarrassed! Anyway, it's all good now, I did my research and I think I know who that is. Oh gosh..this is the problem of applying to multiple jobs at the same time. I just cant track everything and remember it. But, hopefully this is a sign that

Yesterday, I was feeling super blue and super down..a nervous breakdown I would say, I felt sad for no reason and I felt sooo hopeless. Well, maybe job hunting has something to do with it. I knowww... maybe I have not tried hard enough, but the idea of not knowing the future is so frustrating for me. Blahh...I was restless for the entire evening and I just sat on my bed thinking what else I can

Friday, like usual, I spent my morning and afternoon looking for jobs.After -s- got home from work, that's when my weekend starts. We went to Pearl Street, thinking we should get dinner there. Basically Pearl Street is just like Kansas City Plaza (if you've been there). It is an outdoor place with many stores and restaurants and bars along the street.After walking around for quite a while, we

Oh well....it's been almost 4 weeks after my graduation day, May 4th. After that date, I have been having a long vacation until this week. Everything felt surreal, my parents were here, my bro and his GF were here...things all seem soo good. But now, everyone has gone back to their lives, I am back to my own life..things seem very different. Not in a bad way though, it's just different. I am not

It's been 3 weeks since I had my interview and I still have not heard back from them. Although I remember that they told us to not be nervous if we have not heard back in 2 weeks (since 2 weeks is considered to be the earliest time they can let us know), I am still very nervous. But, I guess, I have to learn to be patient and have faith. One of my friends who actually got a friend who has an

Yesterday I had an interview with HON company. It is the largest operating company under HNI Corporation. Basically what they do is they provide office workplace solution to small and medium size businesses. I was sooo lazy that I did not really spend too much time in preparing for the interview. I was just reading what they do, what's their mission, etc, that's it! I guess, this is the first

Well, as I am approaching the end of semester (mid-April), I am bombarded with lots of projects and papers to write. This week, I am going to have one on-campus interview, and lots of meetings that I don't even know how to start. I still have 2 more papers to write for this week and another midterm...and I have to study for my interview...and I have to prepare a survey for the project. Man oh man

I keep having nightmares about Google job...I guess it might be because I keep thinking about this subconsciously and it's killing me!! Could this mean that I really want this job so bad?? Ugh..Part of me really wants the job, but the other part feels more nervous and rather hesitate to move to such a big city..but..it will be worthed (I'm sure..)..

I met with 2 of the candidates who are having Google interview as well. I was actually able to make a friend with one of the gals, her name is Kelly. She is such a sweet gal.

I read my horoscope yesterday in class from the Daily. FYI, I usually never read horoscope, but yesterday was an exception because my friend was actually reading it and she asked me what's my zodiac. So, she looked it up for me, and it said :"A difficult task is nearing its completion. A celebration is on the way!" Woo hoooooo..I have been always taught to never believe whatever horoscope tells

I had to wake up very early because I had a meeting at campus around 9.30am. I ended up staying in Gerdin the entire day (before 4.45pm). Between meeting and working, it was very tiring!

This Spring is my last semester at ISU..how time really flies! I am right now feeling a bit anxious, a bit excited, a bit relief, a bit scared... I am graduating on May 4th!!!Woww...Anyway, this song really reflects my stream of thoughts right now.. Can I survive it out there, Can I make it somehow?Last night I was talking with my dad.. I said, when I got married one day, I and my twin would buy

This week I am adjusting to my single life hahahaha...my twin is out of town, so I am totally alone in the house.. Well, of course I have Chloe, but I wish she can speak. LOLIt's not as bad as I thought, I actually enjoy it..Anyway, the highlight of this week is my interview with Google on Friday at noon. Geez, I am so nervous.. I have printed out bunch of information about Google so I can learn

Last Saturday evening I got a call from our high-school friend's sister. I was quite shocked when she called me because something must be wrong if she does call me. To make the story short, basically she just cried and told me to help her brother who is our "lost" friend.Here is when all starts...I and my brother and this guy went to the same high school back then. We were actually best friends!

-s- left to Colorado yesterday. It was really hard to say good bye...sad because part of me says that I might not be able to see him again..maybe I am being too paranoid..I did not have much time to say good bye either because I had a presentation to do yesterday as well.After I got back from class, I stopped by at his house to get some of my belongings, like food, jackets, bla bla...then I was

Today is Friday. For most people, Friday means happiness, the beginning of fun, crazy time until Sunday. For me, this Friday means, bye bye.. :(Sadddddddddddddddddddddd.....I want my browniessss!!!!I've given this a lot of thought, my life will be somewhat changed. I mean, I have to do everything alone now..go to lunch, go to shcool, pick a movie, do laundry bla bla bla...It's amazing how one

Last night, I was checking my email and ready to delete all those junk emails!! But then, I realized that there is one email with interesting subject line : "You are invited to interview with Google!".."Yeahhh, right!" I thought....Then, after 5 seconds screening the email, I realized, hmmm this is a real email..ahhahahaOh well, I am flattered that I can get this opportunity to interview with the

I dont like this week, especially I dread this coming Saturday! -s- finally will move to CO. *sigh* I dont like LD. I used to be fine with LD, but as I grew older, I realized how much time and energy are sacrificed to maintain LDR. I dont know.. Im sadddddd :(Last Saturday, we watched SAW 3

Got a call from my dad and mom this morning.. they told me that Jakarta was pouring with rain..Heavy rain! Most of the places in town are flooded...including our house. But, surprisingly, only half part of my house got lil' bit of water.. Hmmm...I hate when this happens! Luckily, we have 2 maids that have a superpower (that's what my mom said), so they can help my mom moving things to upstairs.

Chloe was sick.. uh oh... When I went home from work 2 nights ago, I discovered that she pooped in her crate! Oh nooo... she never ever do that.. So I had to clean up the crate.. I had to throw away her hoodie--pink-blanket because she pooped on it. Yux!It's just $1 so I might as well buy a new one for her. Anyway, so I immediately realized that something must be wrong..She was shaking and drank

Yesterday I spent my day working until 5pm then went back home to let Chloe out. After that, we went to Walmie to get a TV antenna. BTW, did you know that we are no longer getting FOX channel through MEDIACOM. FOX and MEDIACOM had an argument over an increased price for FOX, bla bla..Mediacom doesn't want to put FOX in their channels because they dont want to carry higher cost which transferable

Ok..so last Friday we went to Columbus, Ohio. We drove for about 10 hours in Mini Cooper. Oh gosh, it was really a struggle to sit around 10 hr in that small-but-yet-fancy-car. My butt and my feet hurts! Especially, boys' feet are so much longer than mine so I had to sacrifice my space for their feet. hohhoho, but we had fun...Tired, but fun!Ohio...hmmm..such a big city!!! We went to Ohio State

Last night after I got back from my class, -s- told me the news: we are going to OHIO tomorrow! Whoaaa....so sudden! I emailed my professor right away telling him that I m not going to be able to come to Saturday class. Hopefully, I won't get grilled..Anyhow, so 4 of us will have a quick road trip to OH today at noon. I cannot say what we're gonna do now since it's still a top secret. I only told

Oh gosh, today I woke up at 11am and I woke up just because I heard my phone ringing!! I was supposed to take a shower at 11 and get ready to go to work at 12. hmmm... It's all because I slept quite late last night.. We went home from surprise birthday party after 1 am so I probably slept at 1.30am. hohoho...And now, I am still sleepy.. -_-'Today will be my first off-campus class. I am actually

Weekend.. what did I do for weekend... Satuday, I had class in the morning. I am glad that I have Dr.Barone for that class. He is quite fun, so 3.5-hour-class is not boring. Plus, I've already taken a similar course with him, so this class should not be that hard.I think we spent our whole Saturday by resting, cooking and watching DVD. I bought this DVD from Indo, it's a Japanese movie actually.

Last night, we didn't go to Old Chicago like we planned. Initially, we planned to have dinner there after we watch movie at the mall, but then we ended up did neither of them. You know why!?? It's because I and -s- was too busy cleaning and throwing stuffs away from my bedroom, hahahhaa. I just realized, I have a very bad habit of keeping stuffs even though I might not need it. I also cannot

I got this Gift Card from my boss.. Old Chicago Gift Card. How nice of him!! I am touched!! I dont think I've ever gotten a gift from my bosses before. Well, I got a "bonus" before, but not a "gift". Anyhow, so I am thinking of having a nice dinner at Old Chicago. I dont know what to pick though. I probably will try calzone. Mmmm....For some reason, these days, I am craving for more veggies and

It's been almost a week since I got back in Ames.. can you believe that? For some reason, I have to adjust things here again. For example, I have to get used to being alone in my apartment. Back at home in Indo, my house can be considered as loud, in a good way though...there's always two of our maids talking and cooking and cleaning, my mom wanders around the house trying to check if there is

Let me tell you, now I am able to shut down my residential phone because I dont need it anymore.

It's been 4 days now I am back in Ames... home sweet home...It's kinna weird too to be here.. I am used to the busy life back in Jakarta..now everything feels sooo empty.I didnt write much after my latest post..dont blame me!!! Blame the earthquake that cut off all of the Internet connection for most of Asia countries. Just to summarize, I went to Bali island with my family for 4 days 3 nights.

On Xmas Day, We basically did nothing during the day, just watched TV and napped! Tee..hee..hee.. We then had Xmas Dinner at Ah Hyat Restaurant, near Senayan area. It is a very high-class seafood restaurant. I saw the biggest Crab ever!! It's from Australia and the price is around$9/ounce. Isn't it crazy??? So maybe we could spend around $100 just to eat one crab!! DANG! But no worries, we did

Hohohoooo... Merry X'mas!!!!255h December, such a special day...yet I don't really feel Xmas spirit here in Indo. It is still Xmas Eve now...I went to JPCC church with my family this morning.. Gosh..it was super crowded.. We then had to sit outside the auditorium due to the limited capacity. Dang!!! It was super hot...I kept sweating during the service, thus, I did not really enjoy it.

Ola..About two days ago I finally went again to that market where I had food poisoning last week. Thank God, this time I completed my journey with flying colors. I managed to take away 2 purses, 4 blouses, 2 pair of sandals. It was pretty tiring actually. I think we spent about 5 hours in the market, walking around and trying to find great deals with my limited bargaining skill. LOL. But when I

Today, I was supposed to go shop with my cousin at Mangga 2. It is a place where we can buy things cheaper from regular stores' price. The secret is, you have to be smart at bargaining with the sellers. I was so ready to go into the 'battle'.. I wore my ugliest shirt and ugliest pant..hahaha.. We arrived there about noon, then I bought computer mic for only $2. My cousin wanted to fix her CPU but
