My first Lasagna

Thea February 23rd, 2009

Layer by layer, I put them on the pan.
The first layer, then I applied tomato pasta with the minced meet and smoked beef. Ups, I didn’t forget to give oregano leaf into it once cooked.
Next, again, I put another layer of lasagna, which previously boiled, in which I mixed some spoons of oil into the water so they wouldn’t stick together.

I added creamy sauce, made of low fat milk that I cooked with cheddar cheese and pepper powder. It was just like making creamy soup where I fried flour with the butter.

Okay then I put another layer, then laid the tomato pasta, the creamy sauce, consecutively until the tray was full.

Finished with the layers, I prepared the oven, turned it into 150 degree. I took the pan into the open and set the timer. It was around 30 to 45 minutes. I saw the the topping, which was full with chess, melted.

And the good smell came around. It was just baked perfectly. But I couldn’t taste it directly as I had two guests to be the first taster.

Not long after that, the awaited guest came. I served the pan and let them tried first.

Nervous, I expected their comment.

“Delicious, Mbak Thea”

Then I stared to my hubby.

“It’s delicious, Hun”.

I was flattered.

In the morning before leaving for the office, I prepared some slices of Lasagna to be brought to the office. My hubby said,

“Don’t bring all of them to your office. I wanna some more”

Okay hunney. Then I left half of Lasagna with him.

“So you can cook Lasagna?”
“Is it really your first-baking?”
“You can run business, then”

Those are their comments.

In the Yahoo Messenger, my hubby said,

“I got drunk because of your lasagna. It’s just really delicious”.

Voila…my first Lasagna and it’s nice:)

What Love can Do

Thea February 14th, 2009

We know that love can make people do things unbelievable for it. Just like what I watched last night in Kick Andy show, which invited couples who had their marriage wedding in unique way.

A couple from Surabaya held their wedding on ice skating arena. Even the MC was forced to have regular exercise months before so he could at least walk above the ice. What was not less unique when an artist, Iskandar, proposed his wife. He gave an old bike and dual band radio as “mahar” (wedding gift). The wedding ceremony was held in river while they were doing rafting and continued with off-roading passing the merapi. What a wedding!!

When planning wedding for our selves, my hubby and I didn’t think anything unusual. We just wanted it as smooth as can be, and of course it won’t cause rejection from my parents as they preferred it ran by code( read; pakem). The planning itself successfully made our emotion ups and downs. We faced many unexpected things. Budget which abruptly swole, just to mention one of it. We designed the wedding by ourselves with help and contribution of some family members. It’s just never thought before that we could do such things. Again, love can make people do anything.
