Risotto

Akhirnya sempet nulis resep lagi padahal ngga sibuk juga sih, cuma males aja hahaha *old habit :p Kali ini bikin risotto, ada bahan yang gue skip sih kaya white wine. Nggak pake substitute segala, cuma dihilangin aja si white wine nya dari resep. But trust me, it still yum though. Kalo kata masterchef sih bikin risotto ini level susahnya medium lah, tapi karena gw belom pernah juga makan risotto jadi gw ngga ngerti juga yang bener itu yang teksturnya kaya gimana sih :p So here's the recipe

Resep Risotto

Bahan :

- 1/4 bawang bombay dicacah

- 2 siung bawang putih dicacah halus

- white wine ( gue ngga pake )

- 1 sdm unsalted butter 

- 1 sdm keju parmesan

- garam & merica secukupnya
- 300 ml kaldu ayam
- 1 cupshort grains rice/arborio rice

Cara :

- Panaskan wajan di atas kompor dengan api kecil. Masukkan minyak zaitun.

- Masukkan bawang bombay dan bawang putih, tumis hingga harum.

- Masukkan beras arborio, aduk hingga warna beras berubah sedikit transparan.

- Masukkan kaldu ayam satu sendok sayur, aduk rata.

- Apabila beras sudah mengembang dan cairan berkurang, masukkan lagi kaldu, merica dan garam secukupnya.

- Jika beras sudah matang, masukkan butter & keju parmesan lalu aduk rata.

Tips :

- Jangan masukkan kaldu sekaligus supaya teksturnya ngga kelembekkan kaya bubur. Cukup masukkan satu sendok sayur kaldu setiap kalinya lalu aduk rata sampai kaldu terserap oleh beras.

Another Surgery

Wait, WHAAAAATTTT???
Yup another surgery. Pheeuw. Actually it happened few days before Lebaran, but I was too lazy slash busy to blog. 'Twas about konka reduction surgery. Doctor said I will keep continue sneeze every single morning, not only because of the allergies but also my konka is bigger than the normal people does. So yes, I did the reduction surgery. But fortunately no reconstruction needed, so no IT WAS NOT NOSE JOB Hahaha :D

Night before the surgery

Nose bleed after the reduction

But a little sad story happened that day. So, I went through surgeries couple times. But this is the first time I cried after the surgery. Not because the surgery or the pain, because it went well Alhamdulillah. But that was because I had a dream about my late husband when I was unconscious. And when I woke up, without him by my side I just literally burst into tears. May you rest in peace dearest husband 

Eid Mubarak

I'm listening to the takbir, and It gives me goosebumps. Because I know It's gonna be my very first idul fitri without my husband. I remember we spend our last lebaran in ER because he had major headache. Didn't know that it will be our last lebaran together.

Maybe it was a signal and i just didn't notice at all. However I do really hope he's  in a very better place right now. Because I know his heart made of gold. For fellow bloggers, have a blast idul fitri with your family and cherish every moment. Because you never know when it will be the last time you see them.

God's Will

You know you're madly missing someone when you refuse to sleep at night, looking through his pics instead, and shed lot of tears. 

Y

Feeling so crushed that you can only love him from distance. And suddenly all the love ( or sad ) songs you hear reminds you of him. Because you miss him so much, like no other, nothing compares, and it actually hurts. In my case, that "someone" is already gone for good. As much as I want to plan my life, it has such a way to surprising me than the originally planned. It's called God's will. All I can do know is cherish every moments that we shared together. And pray for his best. May he rest in peace. 

Happy Birthday to You

Met you since I was 17, and you proposed to me only a year later. I was shocked at that moment. But then I knew you are the one. Because I used to feel that I don't belong anywhere, but only in you I found my comfort zone. I love that you secretly had a big giant heart, thoughtful and genuinely loved me. Because I know I wasn't easy to handle. I was sassy, stubborn, mean, selfish, chatty and childish. But you never gave up on me, not even once. We made it through 9years. Through thick and thin.

Bali, our very first honeymoon 2009

Buckingham Palace , 2013

I really want to grow old with you. I want to be together forever with you. But forever is gone. Unfortunately we can't last forever. No words can describe how much I'm missing you.

And now the fact that you're gone it just killing me to the core.

And today is your birthday. It is supposed to be your 33th birthday. I remember that I used to make you birthday cake from time to time.

 I just hope you are at peace now. There's nothing I can do but pray for the best for you. I hope Allah grants you with Jannah, because I know you had a great soul and you were the best husband I could ask for. You were certainly one of a kind. Until we meet again dearest husband, hopefully in a very better place.

Ramadhan without you

This is my very first ramadhan without my dearest husband. I wish he was still here with me. I miss him so much till it hurts. I can't explain the pain.

 It just doesn't feel right. It's gonna be a whole new different life from now on. But if somebody else can suffered the pain, maybe I can do it too. It's just about the time. Someday I will move on. But only God knows how and when. Tomorrow is another day. That the sun will go on shining. What I'm feeling is not only completely valid but necessary, because it makes me so much more human. And though I can't promise that I will get better anytime some. But it will, eventually. For now all I can do is take the time. Take all the time I need. You know what they said, time will heal. But here's my advice to all of my blog readers, If you have your loved ones around, please do appreciate them. Because life can change in a blink of eye, so love with all your heart. You may never have that chance anymore.

100 Days

Today marks 100 days since you passed away. I've lost you and it hurts. I lost you suddenly, unexpectedly. No farewell words were spoken. No time to say goodbye. You were gone before we know it and only God knows why. How I wished I had more days to see you one last time.

How you used to make my days brighter. 

Nothing feels right without you. Not a single day goes by without me missing you. I still cries my eyes out every single day. It still is really hard to let you go. Can't stop thinking of what we had and 
what we could have.

 I just never realize the true value of our moment until it becomes a memory. It makes me realize how life can change in a blink of eye. Eventhough it was a short meet, but it was my pleasure to know you these past 9years. You will never be forgotten. A hallowed place within my heart, that's where you will always stay. May you rest in peace dearest husband. My prayers always be with you.

Post Op

Tenaaang bukan operasi macem-macem kok apalagi operasi plastik :D Jadi setelah beberapa tahun yang lalu harusnya udah jalanin prosedur ini, akhirnya seminggu yang lalu memberanikan diri buat ke dokter gigi lagi buat rencanain operasi kecil pencabutan gigi. Gue konsultasi sama Drg Evy spesialis bedah mulut di Rumah Sakit Pertamedika Sentul City. Setelah di rontgen, ada perubahan rencana operasi. Yang tadinya rencana awal harusnya cuma "motong" sedikit gusi yang ngehalangin gigi geraham yang tumbuh, berubah jadi ditambah dengan operasi pencabutan 3 gigi. Say whaaaaatttt??? :((( *jaw dropped

Emang umur-umur gue sekarang ini pas banget waktunya tumbuh 4 geraham tambahan. Tapi kalo liat di photo panoramic di atas, kayanya gigi gue lebih banyak dari gigi orang pada umumnya deh. Abis ada satu gigi lagi yang "tertimbun" di bawah geraham yang udah tumbuh duluan. Kata dokter, kalo ngga ngerasain sakit kepala mendingan ngga usah dicabut. Soalnya proses pengangkatannya ngeri bok, diambil dari rahang bukannya dicabut dari gusi kaya proses cabut gigi pada umunya, dan bakal nimbulin bekas luka unless ditambah plastic surgery. Akhirnya mutusin "cuma" cabut 3 gigi aja deh, yang satunya lagi ditunda dulu. Terus dokter ngasih dua pilihan buat proses operasinya, mau pake bius lokal tapi cuma bisa diambil satu per satu atau bius total tapi langsung diambil tiga-tiga nya. Tentu nya pasien penakut ini milih yang bius total doooong, kebayang aja kalo cuma dibius lokal cukup sekali dateng terus trauma dijamin ngga akan balik-balik lagi ke dokter buat cabut sisanya hahaha :D




Abis itu dokter nyaranin untuk konsultasi dulu sama dokter spesialis penyakit dalam ( internist ), karena gue baru sembuh thypus dan biasanya pasien yang baru sembuh thypus ngga boleh operasi apa-apa dulu. Tapi setelah tes darah dan hasil rontgen paru-paru keluar dan gue ketemu Dokter
 Internist ternyata gue udah boleh jalanin operasi karena hasil tes-tesnya bagus. Abis itu harus konsultasi sama dokter anastesi juga buat nyaritau apa kah gue ada riwayat alergi obat-obatan Dan apa ada infeksi. Pheew panjang juga prosesnya ya *lap keringet. Setelah semuanya oke, gue dateng lagi ke Rumah Sakit di jadwal yang udah ditentuin buat jalanan prosedur operasi. Ngga lama kok prosesnya, sekitar satu jam aja. Post op nya itu sih yang bikin sedih, susah makan dan susah nelen ngga usah ditanyain lagi. Terus muka jadi ngga berbentuk lagi saking bengkaknya hahaha *ketawa miris kalo liat lagi photonya :'(




Sekarang udah satu minggu pasca operasi, bengkaknya udah jauuuh berkurang dan udah mulai bisa makan nasi lagi. Yeaaay finally say goodbye to bubur saring :D Untuk ke depannya, dokter saranin pasang kawat gigi supaya lebih rapi, tapi kayanya nanti-nanti dulu deh kalo ngerasa udah butuh aja hahaha




Ini dia penampakan giginya pas udah beres dicabut

Nasi Goreng Mafia

Udah lama banget penasaran sama si nasi goreng Mafia yang lagi hits banget ini. Kalo denger namanya kok kayanya serem banget ya, padahal MAFIA adalah singkatan dari Makanan Favorit Indonesia. Nasi goreng yang bercitarasa rempah dan pedas ini membuka toko pertama mereka di Bandung tahun 2013, tapi sekarang udah banyak banget cabangnya di beberapa kota besar di Indonesia seperti Jakarta, Depok, Bogor, Garut, Lampung. Nasi Goreng Mafia ini juga punya cara unik buat promosiin cabang baru mereka, caranya dengan ngasih 1000porsi nasi goreng gratis, cukup bayar dengan doa. Unik banget ya gaya pemasarannya? Secara yang namanya gratisan mah semua orang juga demen, apalagi mahasiswa hehe. Di Bogor mereka punya 2 cabang, yaitu di jalan Dramaga dan di ruko VIP jalan bangbarung. Jadi siang tadi abis keluar dari rumah sakit , gue, adek gue, Papa sama Bebek langsung meluncur ke cabang bangbarung, padahal gusi masih bengkak dan nyut-nyutan abis operasi cabut 3 gigi geraham yang impacted dan baru aja sembuh thypus, kata dokter sih belum boleh makan pedes dulu *pasien bandel* So shall we begin?

Nasi goreng dengan campuran kemangi dan rempah rahasia. Gue pesen level Menyesakkan (level2), padahal mbaknya udah ngasih warning kalo bumbu dasarnya aja udah pedes, tapi karena gw doyan dan kuat pedes dengan sok taunya pesen level 2 ini. Pas dateng cukup kaget sama penampakannya, karena walaupun terhitung murah tapi sayangnya penampilannya polos aja gitu tanpa ceplok telor dan kerupuk khas nasi goreng abang-abang yang suka lewat depan rumah, cuma ada suwiran ayam yang jumlahnya kasat mata (lebay). Kalo mau pake additional topping bisa kok, tapi ada biaya tambahannya misalnya telor ceplok (4K), kerupuk (1K), kikil (6K) dan lain-lain. Tapi porsinya sih bisa buat share berdua kecuali lo lagi ngamuk kelaperan :p Suapan pertama langsung berasa banget pedesnya, sampe ngga kerasa rempah-rempahnya. Saking pedesnya sampe ngga sanggup nerusin makan lagi :( Mungkin next time mendingan coba level 1 aja kali ya.

Nasi goreng dengan campuran cabe hijau dan kikil ini pesenan si Bebek alias bosnya Juragan Setir. Chicken nuggetnya additional topping jadi bayarnya nambah 9K. Rasanya kurang lebih sama kaya pesenan gue, lagi-lagi karena saking pedesnya jadi ngga bisa ngerasain rempahnya. Kalo kikilnya gue ngga nyobain karna ngga doyan, tapi keliatannya cukup empuk. Abis aja lho dia seporsi, walaupun abis itu langsung nenggak air es 2 botol dan keluar keringet segede-gede jagung *euww

Yakuza (20K)

Preman (20K)
Nasi goreng dengan racikan kencur dan kangkung ini pesenan adek gue si Muti. Emang dasar dia doyan banget sama cabe ya, abis aja lho setengah porsi nasi goreng ini padahal pedesnya ngga nyantai banget *standing ovation buat muti*

Preman (20K)

Jadi kesimpulannya kalo kapan-kapan kesini lagi mungkin lebih baik jangan tergoda sama level-levelnya. Amannya sih pesen level 1 aja atau malah yang original, daripada ujung-ujungnya jadi mubazir ngga kemakan, unless lo kuat pedes banget kaya adek gue :D

40 Days since you passed away

I remember the first time I met you almost 9 years ago. Didn't take long to figure out you had a great soul, kind hearted, and the most genuine person I've ever met. Through all the thick and thin, I'm falling (more) deeply in love with the man I married 6years and 3months ago. Never a day goes by without thanking Allah for blessing me with you. But you left too soon. Now It's been 40 days since you passed away. How I wished I had more days, weeks to see you one last time. If only I could have you back for a little while, then we could sit and talk again like we used to. I still remember the moment when your heart stopped beating, so did a piece of mine. It was heartbreaking and still is till now. But my mind knows that you are in a better place right now, when there is no pain. You are at peace. The fact that you're no longer here will always cause me pain but you are forever in my heart. There is an empty space in it, that nothing will ever fill. Just because we can't be together now, doesn't mean I won't love you anymore. You always meant so much to me and always will. Those special memories of you will always bring a smile. Till we meet again in sha Allah in a better place. May you rest peace my love.
