Nutella Popsicle

Got a new super simple recipe for a popsicle from a website. I bet your kids would love it too. Just mix together 2 cups of whipped cream ( whipped the cream until it's fluffy), 6tbsp of nutella and 1 cup of milk. Pour into popsicle moulds and freeze for a few hours. You can add peanut butter and chocolate chips too...we did it yesterday and it's nyuummmyy!

The popsicles in the picture looks like it's already melted, because I forgot to take the picture immediately hahaha. So, go have a try :))

"Spaghetti Limone Parmeggiano" with Grilled Salmon

Got the recipe from Gwyneth Paltrow's My Father Daughter's book. This recipe is super easy, nyummy and light. I made a view changes...

All you need:

• 3/4 pound (3/4 box) spaghetti
• Salt
• 1 lemon
• 1 1/2 cups finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 3–5 tablespoons of pasta water, to thin
• Handful fresh basil leaves (from 4 leafy stems)
• Salmon fillets

- Boil the spaghetti in salted boiling water, according to the package directions.

- Used grilled pan for the Salmon. Sprinkle salmon fillets with a bit of lime, salt and pepper. Place salmon fillets, cooked for 4 minutes. Turn salmon carefully and continue to grill until just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes longer

- Meanwhile, grate the zest from the lemon into a large mixing bowl. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl . Add the 1 1/2 cups Parmesan, pepper, and a pinch of salt, and mix in the olive oil to form a wet paste

- When the spaghetti is perfectly cooked, add 2 or 3 tablespoons of the cooking water to the lemon and cheese mixture. Add the spaghetti to the bowl and toss thoroughly, adding another tablespoon or 2 of pasta water if necessary so that the sauce coats each strand. Roughly tear in the basil leaves. And tear the grilled salmon ,mix it into the spaghetti mixture.

- Serve each portion with a sprinkle of coarse salt, a fresh grind of black pepper, and a few gratings of extra Parmesan.

Go try it! Easy peasy :))

Rumah Main Fun House

It was a long way to Rumah Main Fun House yesterday...for me, Ai, Imel and Dinda. But it was worth it after we arrived at Nana's house. ...a nice house with full of kids. A house that provides classes for underprivileged children around that area. Rumah Main Fun House was established in July 2012, originally created in the home by Nana herself, to have some activities in the afternoon for the kids around that area. Because she was concerned about the kids activities in that area. Some of the kids were just playing with games at the "warnet" and some of the kids got caught up smoking.

We volunteered to do some actvities there. I did some Kids Yoga with the kids there...surprisingly they're all excited about it. I was very happy to see that.

As for Ai...she did some activities with the kids that relates to her job...event organizer. She explained to the kids about her job and asked the kids to arrange a birthday party.

Dinda and Imel also...shared some experiences about their job to the kids. Dinda as a journalist/writer and Imel as a marketing person. The kids were enthusiastic to hear about it.

It was another great day for me...got to spend my saturday with the lovely ladies and cute kids. And I salute Nana for making this Rumah Main Fun House for the kids. Yes, I believe that little things do counts, you'll see...especially when you see the kids faces, it's all worth it. We all can do this, to make the children happy and encourage them to dream big :)

More pics here. 

If you want to volunteer to teach or help, it's located at Jalan Buluh, Condet, Jakarta Timur.

Timeless

One of my fave song of all time :))

 

Kindness is timeless
Love is so easy to give
It just takes a moment
To show somebody that you care x2

In the world that we live in
Everybody wants to be so cruel
To be in the in-crowd
Got the hottest clothes,the hottest shoes
We're reading the tabloids
And we're flossing in the club
But the freshest thing you can do is
Give someone your love

Kindness is timeless
Love is so easy to give
It just takes a moment
To show somebody you care

Kindness is timeless
Love is so easy to give
It just takes a moment to...

Give someone your love
To give someone your lalala love
To give someone your love
Give someone your love
Your lalalala love
Give someone your lalala love

The clothes that your wearing
It will one day be out of style
The car that your driving
One day will vax out in miles
Your hair and your makeup
And the time that it takes up
It will take the same care of
Ya give someone ya love

Kindness is timeless
Love is so easy to give
It just takes a moment
To show somebody you care
Kindness is timeless
Love is so easy to give
It just takes a moment to...

To give someone your love
To give someone your lalala love
To give someone your love
Give someone your love
Your lalalala love
Give someone your lalala love

Give someone you love

Cause kindness is timeless

Something To Ponder

Got this one from the internet...i'll copy paste it for you...

George Carlin's wife died early in 2008 and George followed her, dying in July 2008. It is ironic George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent and so very appropriate. An observation by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.

Remember to spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

And always remember, life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by those moments that take our breath away.

George Carlin


So true...

 

Tagliatelle with spinach, mascarpone & Parmesan

Got the recipe from Jamie Oliver's website. I'll copy paste it for you...

Ingredients:

• 455 g tagliatelle or spaghetti
• olive oil
• 2 teaspoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
• ½ nutmeg, freshly grated
• 400 g fresh spinach, washed thoroughly and finely sliced
• sea salt
• freshly ground black pepper
• 120 ml double cream
• 150 g mascarpone cheese
• 2 handfuls Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

How to make:

Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add the pasta, and cook according to the packet instructions. Meanwhile get a frying pan or wok warm, add a drizzle of olive oil, the butter, garlic and nutmeg. When the butter melts, add the spinach. After 5 minutes it will have wilted down and will be nice and dark. A lot of the liquid will have cooked away and you'll have wonderful intensely flavoured spinach. At this point season with salt and pepper until it tastes good, then add the cream, mascarpone and a little ladle of cooking water from the pasta. Let this come to a simmer and then season again.

Drain the pasta, reserving some of the cooking water, then stir it into the spinach sauce. Add the Parmesan and toss everything together. Loosen to a nice silky consistency with some of the reserved cooking water, so it doesn't become too claggy. Check once more for seasoning and serve straight away.
