Setelah sekian lama gak nge-blog disini….

Sebenarnya bikin kue ini karena punya keju menumpuk karena lebaran kemaren gak jadi bikin kastengel….trus kok jadi pengen bikin bolu keju.

Browsing
resep di Internet…trus nemu resep "bolu keju" di Dapur Bunda-nya Mbak
Inong(Alm) ….(thanks ya Mbak Inong…resepnya masih dipake nih :))

Karena
resep aslinya agak ribet …secara ngocok putih telurnya dipisah dari
adonan…udah gitu ngelihat bahannya kok kayaknya bakalan banyak ya
jadinya…akhirnya dari resep itu divariasikan sedikit deh…bikin
1/3-nya aja.

Pokoknya modal nekad aja…soalnya inget sepupu
suamiku yang kalau bikin cake coklat selalu bantet tapi kalau bikin
cake keju bisa berhasil….berarti cake keju lebih gampang dong :D

resep aslinya bisa dilihat di: http://dapurbunda.blogspot.com/2005/06/bolu-keju.html

Nah kalau ini, resep yang aku bikin :)

Bahan-bahan:
- 70 gr gula halus
- 100 gr mentega
- 200 gr keju cheddar diparut
- 3 butir telur
- 100 gr tepung terigu
- 1/2 sdt baking powder

Directions:
- pertama-tama kocok gula halus dan mentega
- setelah mengembang masukkan telur (nekad ngocoknya gak pakai dipisah :)) )
- setelah itu masukkan keju parut 100 gr
- masukkan tepung terigu dan baking powder
- setelah adonan tercampur rata, masukkan kedalam loyang dan panggang kurang lebih 45 menit.
- setelah matang (tandanya kalau adonan ditusuk tidak ada yg lengket lagi) angkat…dan beri keju parut sisa diatasnya….

Hasilnya lumayan lah buat pemula….

Walaupun mungkin kalau ngikutin petunjuk resep Mbak Inong hasilnya lebih bagus dan enak kali ya :)

* Jadi kalau mau buat mending nyontek resep aslinya ya :D

Happy Birthday

March 22nd, 2007 by rmilani

Birthday papa…birthday papa….
Kalau itu yang neriakin Baghas…
Ceritanya, hari ini papa Baghas Ultah.
N tadi malam kebetulan jam 12 kita emang masih bangun, biarpun papanya udah ngantuk berat….(capek kali tiap hari pulang malem).
Nah tapi waktu aku bilang Happy B’day papa….Baghas langsung semangat.
Papanya di kiss terus mau shake hand ngucapin Birthday papa…
terus minta aku nyanyiin lagu Birthday papa terus, sementara Baghasnya jingkrak-jingkrak ngikutin irama lagu.
Hehehe….kok yang semangat malah Baghas ya :D

Pokoknya kita berdua mo ngucapin,
Happy Birthday Papapu…(maksudnya Baghas papaku :) )
Wishing all the best for you…….

Kalau anak anteng……

March 22nd, 2007 by rmilani

Ceritanya tadi sore, habis pulang dari pasar, Baghas minta beli ice cream di bawah HDB….ya udah dibeliin satu deh. Pas di lift dia udah pegang-pegang itu ice cream, minta dibukain. Tapi untungnya mau nurut, dan gak ngerengek terus-terusan.

Pas udah sampai rumah kok aku jadi lupa ya kalau dia pegang ice cream. Selesai buka sepatunya, Baghas langsung nyalain tv sendiri, terus duduk anteng di depan tv. Habis itu aku gak perhtiin lagi, soalnya langsung sibuk nyiapin makan malam.

Sudah lumayan agak lama deh aku tinggal masak, kok Baghas gak rewel nih. Dan ternyata pas kebetulan mau naruh keranjang cucian ke kamar, lewat deket Baghas dan lihat Baghas lagi makan ice cream…..hiks hiks…tapi banyakan ice cream yang tumpah ke karpet..hiks hiks lagi, mana banyak coklatnya lagi…mana karpetnya habis dicuci bersih lagi…ternyata setelah ice creamnya tumpah …eh malah dibuat mainan sama Baghas….hiks hiks deh aku, kebayang pinggang n tangan bakalan pegel nyuci karpet :(

Padahal gara-gara week end udah korban satu karpet yang dipenuhi bedak n basah karena tumpahan air n sampai sekarang masih teronggok di belakang karena masih males nyucinya….

Jadi kesel sendiri deh jadinya, habis kan…namanya juga anak-anak, biar dimarahin juga belum tentu ngerti salahnya apa…

Jadi inget pas ngobrol sama Ari lewat YM beberapa hari yang lalu…waktu lagi asyik chatting eh tiba-tiba Ari cerita kalau si Gendhis (anaknya yang masih seumuran Baghas) habis ngabisin sebotol lotionnya buat mandiin mobil-mobilannya….hehehe

Yah nasib deh kalau punya toddler, musti hati-hati n jangan kesenengan dulu kalau anaknya anteng…coba deh di cek lagi ngapain….jangan-jangan parfum kesayangan sudah habis di semprot kesana kemari  sama si anak  :) …yah pokoknya siap-siap terkejut aja deh sama apa yang dibuatnya :D

I just feel so bad

March 21st, 2007 by rmilani

This not about my body which is not feeling so well right now. It just….that sometime I could have bad feeling when suddenly…our word is always be hear as a negative sentence to anyone else. When I didn’t meant that way but others always have a negative thought about what I said …..and ..it’s tiring.

feeling not so well

March 21st, 2007 by rmilani

Semenjak Baghas sakit trus males minum susu apalagi makan..bikin perasaan sedih aja. Jadinya tiap malam musti bangun-bangun bwt nyoba ngasih Baghas susu …trus karena Baghas juga lagi malas makan n minum susu, akunya juga jadi malesssss banget makan.

Udah gitu kemarin malam Baghas baru tidur jam 2 malam trus bangunnya juga masih pagi, jam 8 pagi sudah bangun. Padahal pengen bisa bangun siang, santai-santai deh…akhirnya siang mulai deh….perutku bawaannya gak enak aja…sepertinya maghnya….makanya kemarin keluar untuk blnjapun jadi malas, n Baghas juga gak mau tidur siang.

Alhamdulillah sih malam dan tadi pagi Baghas sudah mulai mau minum susu tanpa dipaksa. Cuma kok sekarang malah badanku ya yang jadi terasa gak enak ….yah…mudah-mudahan aja tar siang dah baikan.

Understanding your toddler

March 20th, 2007 by rmilani

I copied this article from http://www.babycentre.co.uk, hoping that it might be useful for me to understand and to be more patience with Baghas :)

Written by childcare expert and author Penelope Leach


The balance between dependence and independence

A toddler is no longer a baby,
feeling himself as part of you, using you as his controller and
facilitator, the mirror in which he sees himself and the world. But he
is not yet a child either; ready to see you as a person in your own
right and to take responsibility for himself and his own actions in
relation to you. He has just begun to be aware that you and he are
separate people; he does not yet take it comfortably for granted. Some
of the time he asserts this new-found individuality, yelling "No!" and
"Let me!", fighting your control and his own need for your help each
time an issue presents itself. But some of the time he clings to you,
crying when you leave the room, holding up his arms to be carried,
demanding with open mouth that you should feed him.

His in-between behaviour is confusing for you, but it is painful
for him. He has to become a person in his own right, but it feels safer
to remain your possession. He has to begin to reject your total control
over him yet it is easier to accept it. He has to develop likes and
dislikes of his own and to pursue his own ends even when they conflict
with yours, yet the conflict feels desperately dangerous to him. He
still loves you with an unrivalled passion, depending on you totally
for emotional support. The developmental imperative of independence
conflicts with the emotional imperative of love.

If you expect your toddler to remain what he was — a comparatively
biddable baby — he will have to clash with you directly. He needs your
love and approval, but his drive to grow up will not allow him to
accept them at the price of too much dependence. But if you expect him
to change overnight into what he will be — a sensible child — he will
feel himself inadequate. He needs your help and comfort and if they are
withheld from him, he cannot manage. Babied, he is bolshy. Pushed on,
he is whiny.

Finding the middle road

There
is a middle road which allows your toddler to adventure but insures him
against disaster; helps him to try but cushions his failures; gives him
a firm framework for acceptable behaviour yet pads it so that it can
contain him without bruising his dawning sense of being his own boss.
Finding that middle road depends on understanding some aspects of
toddlers’ development that are not always obvious, and on refusing to
be fooled by appearances. In many ways your two-year-old seems much
more grown up than he feels. His walking, his talking and his play
develop to a point where outwardly he seems little different from a
three-year-old, but his inward understanding and his experience do not
match up to them. If you treat him as a baby, you will hold him back.
He must come to understand. He must learn by experience. But if you
treat him as you would treat a preschool child, you put him under
intolerable pressure. He must be helped to understand. He must have
experience made manageable.

Learning from experience

Your toddler has a memory, of
course, but while he may remember people and places and songs and
smells as well as you do yourself, his memory for some kinds of details
is still very short. When he was a baby, doing baby things, this was
neither very important nor very obvious. But now he is trying to do
more grown up things, it is both vital and conspicuous. Day after day
he trips and tumbles over the step between kitchen and living room.
Wild with irritation and plagued by worry over the bumps on his head,
you wonder whether he will ever learn. He will, but it will take time.
He cannot "bear that step in mind" until repeated experience has etched
it into his memory. When he was a baby it would have been your job to
prevent him tumbling. When he is a child it will be your job to point
the step out to him. But right now your job is to modify the painful
potential of that series of experiences and to jog that memory. You may
need to pad the step and issue endless reminders.

Learning to think ahead

Just as your toddler’s memory of
events in the past is selective, so is his capacity for forethought.
Although he can anticipate your work-day departure from the briefcase
in your hand, he cannot anticipate the results of his own behaviour. If
he can climb that step-ladder, he will do so without thinking ahead to
the problem of how to get down again. Often difficulties with memory
and with forethought combine to get him into trouble. He has been
scolded again and again for playing with the buttons on the television
set, but as he approaches it again today neither the memory of past
scoldings nor anticipation of the new one that is coming is strong
enough to give him pause. Those buttons demand to be pressed. They draw
him like a magnet.

It is because your toddler cannot think ahead that he cannot wait a
second for anything. If he wants it at all, he wants it now and the
clamouring begins even as he watches you remove the wrapper from the
longed-for ice-pop. If waiting for things he likes is difficult for
him, putting up with even minor discomfort now, in order to be more
comfortable later is impossible. Wailing with misery because the
ice-pop has made him so sticky, he will still fight off the washcloth
that brings relief. Most of the time he is still a creature of this
moment only.

Learning to consider feelings

Immaturities in toddler thinking
may get him into trouble in his relationships with people, too. He
loves you. Everyone tells you that he loves you. He tells you that he
loves you, and when you get that big hug, wicked grin or contented
chuckle, you know he loves you. Yet it may be quite rare for him to
behave in the ways we adults think of as "loving". He cannot put
himself in your place or see things through your eyes. He will hate it
if you cry but it will be the feelings your tears arouse in him which
he dislikes, not the feelings the tears represent in you. It is not his
job yet to consider other people’s feelings, he has to come to terms
with his own first. If he bites you and you bite him back to "show him
what it feels like", he will howl his hurt and outrage as if biting was
a totally new idea to him. He makes no connection between what he did
to you and what you then did to him; between your feelings and his own.

The key to understanding your toddler lies in understanding the
development of his thought processes. It is only as these mature that
those conflicting emotions and misleading abilities can come together
to form the reasonable and manageable whole we call a child.

March 9th, 2007 by rmilani

Cimg5915_medium
Gak tau nih kenapa…mungkin emang lagi masanya…..Baghas lagi super duper aktif banget…..(dibaca: bandel-bandelnya :D )

Kalau dirumah sih masih mending…paling keliling rumah…trus ngebut dengan keretanya dan belok dengan kecepatan tinggi ….hihihi….trus balik lagi …ngebut lagi…atau paling minta nonton dvd panda ko panda-nya…atau main keyboard….yah masih bisa di sambi-sambi lah.

Nah sekarang kalau main kerumah orang atau lagi banyak temennya…wah…sekarang Baghas lagi jadi jagoan…lagi suka push or nendang…hmmm dibilangin masih susah….jadi kasihan sama temen-temennya…paling bisa akrab sama Adam or yg lebih tua dari dia…jadi udah ngerti kalau dibilangin…

Trus kalau diajak pergi kemana-mana udah bisa milih-milih….udah pinter minta mainan dan ngotot minta…or lari kesana kemari….aduh capek banget deh kalau udah begitu…

Tapi Alhamdulillah sih, hari ini dia udah ngerti kalimat "awas"…jadi sebelum nyebrang Baghas udah bilang sendiri " awas car"..atau "awas motor cycle" (hehehe bisa lho baghas nyebut motor cycle ) atau "awas truck ecil" (maksudnya truk kecil)…yah tergantung yang dilihatnya aja…paling enggak Baghas udah mulai waspada kalau ada hal-hal yang membahayakan dijalan.

Yah semoga fase bandel ini cepat berlalu deh….habis yang ada kalau habis ngajak jalan-jalan Baghas kayaknya badan capek banget deh…

Busy…busy…busy…

February 7th, 2007 by rmilani

Hehehe…sebenarnya gak sibuk-sibuk amat…tapi Alhamdulillah deh….dari akhir tahun kemarin banyak tamu yang mampir kerumah….seneng banget deh..apalagi si Baghas…jadi punya banyak teman main :)

Berawal dari menjelang akhir tahun…sepupuku berduaan liburan disini…sempet Lebaran Idul Adha disini juga…jadi Shalat Iednya juga rame-rame ke KBRI.

Kalau Tahun Baru-an sih gak ikut rame-rame…soalnya ribet juga bawa Baghas…bingung nanti pulangnya…apalagi lagi musim hujan dan dari pagi sampai malamnya ternyata banyak undangan makan-makan, soalnya emang pas Idul Adha juga sih…ya udah deh…udah capek keliling-liling deh.

Dua minggu kemudian…Hore…Mama, Papa n Gilang datang Liburan disini. Seneng banget deh…biarpun cuma seminggu…tapi seneng aja, rumah rame terus…apalagi si Baghas deh…nempel terus sama kakeknya…(mommynya jadi kesenengan deh…banyak yang bantuin jagain Baghas.

Biarpun capek, tiap hari pergi terus…tapi senang-senang aja…malahan kayaknya seminggu kok cepet banget ya. Si Baghas apalagi, kehilangan banget waktu Kakek, Nenek n Mas Gilangnya pulang ke Jakarta lagi…masih suka nyariin.."kakek ana?"…"Gilam ana?", "Nene ana?" (maksudnya kakek mana?, mas Gilang mana?, Nenek mana?). Sempat ngimpi segala…lagi tidur siang tau-tau bangun trus nangis manggil-manggil kakek…"huhuhu….Kakek ana?…kakek ana?"

Here we comes Jakarta

February 7th, 2007 by rmilani

Yippie !!!! (kalau kata Baghas…)

Insha Allah besok kita berangkat liburan ke Jakarta …Kali ini kita nyoba ke Jakarta lewat Batam…makanya kali ini pulang
dan pergi bertigaan sama suami n Baghas…abis repot juga kalau mau berangkat duluan berdua
Baghas.

Walaupun sempat panik karena banjir yang menyerang Jakarta…paranoid dengan wabah-wabah yang menyertai banjir…apalagi bawa Baghas. Tapi ya mau gimana lagi….pasrah  dan berdoa aja sama Allah SWT…semoga liburan kita lancar-lancar aja nantinya.
