New Hobby

I never knew that i will find cooking as my new hobby..

It all started when i want to prepare myself for my Jerry first meal. According to the literature i read, in 2009-2010 baby start their meal when they are 6 months old. I browse from the internet, and found this special mailing list "mpasirumahan.yahoogroups", i joined when Jerry was 4 months old, and gather all the necessary information from this mailing list.

Wow.. I suddenly soo excited for my baby's first bite.. so challenging, i thought, and fun, and full of artwork.
I am very eager to watch his first moments.. This is the first step of my new favorite activity.. cooking baby food.. xixixi.. it's really started with simple and very-very easy cooking, just steaming and straining. :)
Watching Jerry ate.. was a big excitement.. he ate everything, he likes vegetables, fruits, meat, protein, dairy products.. anything.. u name it.  Of course, I'm giving him the foods according to the rule (mpasirumahan and http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/) to prevent food intolerance and food allergy. Plus, avoiding sugar and salt up to he's 14 months.

When Jerry is 1 years old, June 2010, i bravely join a babyfood cooking contest on website : http://www.mamakukokihandal.com/ xixixi..

my son is my inspiration and thanks to him, i found and dig out my new interest. Just for a simple motivation, I want to give him a healthy meal and snack, suddenly I started to cook and bake.. and the result, is not bad at all.. not saying delicious though(or yet..)

back to the contest, i have no target at all.. aaaand.. to my surprise, this is the result:

BUNGA SALMON U-PEL *upel: ubi apel Bahan kelopak bunga dan tangkai: 1 buah ubi ungu ukuran sedang, cuci, kukus, kupas, lumatkan/haluskan, sisihkan 1 buah apel malang ukuran sedang, cuci, kupas, kukus, lumatkan/haluskan, sisihkan 2 batang buncis, kukus, sisihkan Bahan putik bunga: 30 gr ikan salmon (bisa diganti tuna, atau ikan lainnya) 1 siung bawang putih, dikeprek 1 siung bawang merah, cincang kasar 1 lembar daun salam 1 ruas jahe, dikeprek 1 tangkai daun bawang, cincang kasar 2 helai seledri, cincang halus (untuk taburan) Cara memasak : * bahan putik bunga :    - kukus selama 15 menit ikan salmon bersama semua bumbu, kecuali seledri.    - angkat/ambil ikan salmon (bumbu lain tidak dipakai), tempatkan di tengah-tengah piring datar, taburi dengan seledri cincang * bahan kelopak bunga :   - campurkan ubi dan apel yang telah dihaluskan dalam 1 wadah   - gunakan sendok makan/es krim untuk membentuk kelopak bunga, susun memutari ikan salmon.   - susun buncis untuk membentuk tangkainya hmm.. rasanya asem-manis-gurih-kres2  coba lagi aah, masukin resep.. ini resep iseng-iseng, karena stock ubi yang masih banyak di kulkas.  Ternyata, kombinasi apel dan ubi bisa meningkatkan selera makan Jerry, anakku yang berusia 13 bulan sekarang. Kalau si ubi single fighter, dia kurang berminat, mungkin karena serat2nya agak berasa di mulutnya. Dicampur si apel, selain ada asem2, juga membuat teksturnya lebih lembut. Yang duluan habis, si buncis, diambil oleh tangannya pas mamanya meleng (mengatur sang fotografer), diemut2 dan digigit dengan semangat..sisanya dilahap dalam waktu 7 menit.. terima kasih, Rini and my little angel; Jerry (13bulan)

hap..hap..hap

It's very hard to start writing..
So hard to decide, how to start, what topic as the opening.

I've postpone this first writing for almost half year,, but finally set up my mind and fingers to start typing this very first story..

Well, this blog will be dedicated to my son, and my soon to be son/daughter.

When i wrote this, my son is 1 year 5 months 5 days, and I'm pregnant nearly 9 weeks now.
I will not write details of their life, but most will be about unforgetable moments we shared together.


My son, Jerry, a cute little creature, will not exist if i didn't meet his father.

A strong, kindhearted, caring and handsome man, named Jefry. Not the romantic kind of guy, but is very warm and tender to me and his son. He dedicated most of his time to his family. He's the one I love most, and is a precious treasure from God for me.. (Thank you so much God..)

Jerry's name comes from both of us, his mother and father. He bears our happiness and love.
We were married only for 1,5 months when God parcel posted him to my womb.

All went well during pregnancy, I have no complication for 9 months, Thanks to my beloved husband,

he's trying with all his effort to comfort my carrying. 

Jerry came to see us and the world on June 11th, 2009, 14:26 (Thursday afternoon), weighted 3.325kgs and heigh 49cm. He's a chubby little baby with lots of hair. unfortunately, I have to do SC (operation) to deliver him, due to some reasons. (No contraction during 3-days Induksi) 


This is some photos of his baby pose..
