2009.07.31 00:05
We love coffee (kopi in Indonesian), and fortunately, Indonesia has among the best coffee beans in the world. There are several varieties of coffee in Indonesia, including kopi Aceh, Mandailing, Java, Bali, Toraja (these are all named after the regions where the coffee plants are grown), and the infamous kopi luwak (regarded as the best-tasting [...]
Anjing buta dan pemandunya…
2009.07.25 02:22
Waaa… cerita yang bagus lagi nih dari dunia binatang… Sebuah tempat penampungan binatang di Norfolk, Inggris menemukan sepasang anjing yang keluyuran di jalanan pas hujan… dan anjing yang satu –yang jantan– ternyata buta, sementara anjing yang lainnya –yang betina– jadi kayak pemandunya gitu. Dikasih nama Bonnie dan Clyde, si buta Clyde ke mana2 selalu dibimbing [...]

Okra curry
2009.07.22 02:35
Having picked up some culinary secrets from a recent get-together at my friend Maruf’s place, I tried to apply that know-how for my dinner last night. The result? Okra curry (as shown above)… :p What the hell is it? :p Well, it’s basically a thick stew of sliced okra and potatoes. And while my friend [...]
Hairy sausage
2009.07.15 09:15
Maybe it IS the vodka that makes them drunk all the time and yet so creative… :)) Just joking, Kamerads… :p Here’s another one from EnglishRussia.com. This time: “hairy sausages”… Stick spaghetti sticks into your favorite sausage (or “wurst”, I think, looking at the size in the pic), and boil until well done. Enjoy [...]

Home-made tempe
2009.07.13 22:02
Here are some pics from kucingputi of a small-scale tempe producer… Tempe is fermented soybean cake –a Wikipedia entry about it can be found here. And I don’t know why it’s spelled “tempeh” in English. It sounds so wankerish… :p Tempe is a staple in the Indonesian menu, most notably in Java, where it originated. [...]

This post, I guess :)) And Your Bird Can Sing –The Beatles You tell me that you’ve got everything you want And your bird can sing But you don’t [...]
Pemilu 2009: Act 2, TGIO
2009.07.09 23:28
(This is Part II of my rantings on Indonesia’s 2009 General Elections. This time it’s about the presidential elections. Part I –on the legislative elections– is here.) If the quick count results are indeed to be any indicator of the upcoming official tally, then Indonesia has a new Vice President: Boediono… The President? Meh… Same [...]
Newsbag
2009.07.08 02:22
I think this is quite a good idea… Printing newspapers as grocery bags. (from EnglishRussia.com) Though it could’ve been better if the bags were paper bags, rather than plastic ones, so that they could be recycled afterwards… Newspapers today in their physical form are sometimes a redundant use of paper anyway, as more and more [...]
