Sewindu and I still LOVE you

Eight years,

It's been eight years

When we said our vows

To be by each other through happiness and sorrows

Then there were just two of us,

two friends who became lovers.

Then there were two of us,

sharing our lives, our small part of heaven

Now we have two kids,

Two kids with whom we share our lives as a family

Now our lives might be more complicated and full of noises,

still we share our lives together, our small part of heaven

Eight years, hopefully many more years

Since I still love being with you in our small part of heaven.

Memory Lane

Long time ago, when I still spent vacations and weekends at my granparents' house, my favorite foods to eat was fried chickens, water spinach stir fry, sambal, and emping. Then I told my mom how good the foods were whenever we stayed there.

"So simple, yet so good!" I said.

So of course, she then asked me what we ate. After telling her what we ate, she asked, "So which part of it is simple?"

Now being a mother of two, I think I know the answer.

There is nothing simple about cooking them, since there are so many things you need to prepare. But there is definitely a simple way to do it with Tender Loving Care (TLC). Just like my grandma said all the times and it sure is a SIMPLE way to make my heart happy to reminisce of all the things she cooked for me and now I know how to make them.

The Evolution of Chocolate Breads

I cannot believe that it was my first blog when I talked about chocolate breads and that was a year ago when I wrote it.  Now one year and one baby later, I tried a new recipe that had already more than a thousand reviews -- averaging five stars.

Well, now I can claim that I have made chocolate breads from scratch.

The recipe ended up with two loaves of breads, but being the usual me, I had to add chocolate on the second loaves and just layered and rolled them before I put into my loaf pan.  When  my brother and sister in law stopped by they also agred that it is a GOOD recipe.  So when our friends stopped by later, I gave half of the chocolate loaf bread.

Guess what happened next?

My hubby asked me right away after they left whether I was going to make another one, he said he likes the chocolate bread..hahhahahahaha

So now, I am already on my next project -- baking breads for the second times in one day.

Here is how they look like.. Pretty good, huh?

Oh by the way, I also made them into smaller breads the second time around --about the size of dinner rolls.
