Permen Coklat

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
*sapa yg tahan coba liat permen coklat kek begini.. ngenceeesss deh gw...

Dari kemaren Diah sibuk hunting resep2 cookies buat dibikin selama seminggu sebelum lebaran selama pulang ke jkt... eehh nemu satu site"Wilton" yg isinya jualan alat2 masak coklat lengkap dan mold yg lucu2 banget... jadi gak tahan juga pengen beli smua nyah.. qeqeqe... sayangnya site ini gak punya layanan pengiriman ke malaysia.. klu gak gw dah borong smuanya tuh...... *mikir2 nitip sapa yaaah yg tinggal di US... sepertinya ide belajar bikin permen coklat OK juga... sapa tau sukses dan bisa di jadi in home business... Biar gak ilang disimpen dulu aahh cara bikinnya...
*btw di sini klo mau belanja bahan2 coklat compound/couverture dimana ya?

*Nyontek dari Jeng Rina Rinso,

Alat dan Bahan :

  • Coklat putih
  • Pewarna permen coklat
  • Cetakan khusus coklat
  • Kantong segitiga
  • Es Batu

Cara membuatnya :

1. Lelehkan coklat putih dengan cara di tim atau dengan menggunakan microwave.
Cara menge-tim coklat. Coklat dipotong-potong kecil, letakkan dalam wadah yg bersih.
Siapkan tempat lain yg lebih besar, isi dengan air dan jerang di atas api.
Wadah yg berisi coklat diletakkan di air.

*Note :
Selama menge-tim atau melelehkan coklat, hindarkan coklat dari air meskipun hanya 1 tetes. Akibatnya sangat fatal. Coklat bisa menggumpal dan warnanya akan buram.
Update : Seharusnya wadah air lebihh kecil daripada wadah coklat, untuk menghindari cipratan air masuk ke dalam coklat. Kemudian tips yang lain, begitu air mendidih segera matikan api dan aduk terus coklat hingga semua coklat mencair, karena kalau sushu terlalu tinggi coklat putih bukannya mencair tapi malah menggumpal.

2. Beri warna sesuai selera. Sebaiknya beri warna 1 tetes dulu kemudian aduk rata, kalau warnanya masih kurang baru tambahkan lagi.

3. Pindahkan coklat yang sudah diberi warna ke kantong segi 3, demi alasan kepraktisan semata, kalau tidak ada kantong ini ya tidak apa-apa cuma nantinya akan sedikit repot karena untuk membuat coklat molding warna-warni ini diperlukan kerapihan. Siapkan juga wadah yang bisa menampung es batu. nantinya cetakan coklat ini diletakkan di atas wadah es batu, seperti ini.

4. Tuangkan coklat warna ke dalam cetakan. Bila menggabungkan beberapa warna sekaligus, tunggu dahulu coklat pertama mengeras baru tuang coklat dengan warna lain.
Misalnya yang aku buat adalah bunga dengan motif kuning dan pink. Pertama warna kuning ditaruh dalam cetakan tunggu hingga keras *dengan adanya es batu dibawah cetakan coklat waktu menunggu coklat keras antara 2-3 menit tergantung ketebalan coklat* kemudian baru dituang dengan warna lain, kemudian selipkan stik/batang lolipop. Hati-hati juga dengan stik kadang suka terangkat, untuk menahan stik supaya tetap pada tempatnya diperlukan. Mangkok-mangkok di tepi cetakan itu fungsinya menahan stik.

Update : Ternyata lebih praktis dengan buku atau tumpukan majalah. Jadi caranya letakkan tumpukan buku/majalah di tepi cetakan supaya stik lolipop tetap melekat erat sampai coklat cukup keras untuk dipindah ke kulkas/lemari es.

5. Setelah stik cukup mantap tertanam pada coklat, pindahkan cetakan coklat beserta isinya ke lemari pendingin (kulkas) biarkan selama 10-15 menit.

6. Keluarkan coklat dengan hati-hati dari cetakan.

Top row, left to right: 17/04/2007 and <1 month old
Middle row, left to right: 1+ and 2+ month old
Bottom row, left to right: 3+ and 4+ month old



Hello everyone! I am 4 months plus now and below are the skills that I have mastered. I have even got myself some skills that are for the 5 and 6 months old baby. Not bad ha! I am not in a hurry to grow up but those skills just came by themselves. However, there are still a few more skills that I need to polish up and those are the ones indicated by **.

Well, nobody is perfect and I am not a nobody. I am Pasha! By the way, I do learn a lot from Astro's Playhouse Disney Channel where I got to watch shows such as, Pocoyo, Elmo's World, Jojo's Circus and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

P/s:
Don't tell my mama and papa that I do not need them to do those silly faces to make me laugh but I just pretended that I need them so that I could watch how they made a fool out of themselves... (evil grin)

Gado gado is better than gaduh gaduh

The case where a karate referee from Indonesia was beaten by some Malaysian police has been creating lots of ugly and undesirable news especially from Indonesia. Media of both countries have also contributed in fueling these negative actions up to the point where my Mother in law, who is in Jakarta at the moment fears that the same is happening over here. She fears for the safety of my Honeybunch.

There have been lots of anti-Malaysia news in Indonesia and I was over at Detik.com and I could easily find many such articles. So may stories are popping up there like mushrooms after the rain. It looks like this is something too big to let it be just water under the bridge for now. Even the apology form the Malaysian Prime Minister is not enough to cool things down.

Many people, somehow with their own agendas, may be, have contributed in blowing things out of proportion. There are even some personal blogs out there, which I would not mention here, have used the issues between Indonesia and Malaysia to make themselves more popular then ever.

I was reading the Star on the news "Envoy: Stop stereotyping Indonesian workers" and I believe there are some valid points that Malaysia need to take serious actions.

“They feel that when it comes to Indonesians committing a crime in Malaysia, justice has been swift but when it comes to Malaysians abusing their Indonesian worker, no action is taken,” Zainal Abidin told Malaysian media covering Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s three-day working visit to South Sulawesi yesterday.

It is something that I would agree with the Indonesians where it looks like Malaysians are practicing double standards. Hope that the Malaysian government would do something about that before things really get worse.

I also read this part of the news: Zainal Abidin urged Malaysians to erase from their vocabulary the term “Indon” used to refer to the Indonesians.

This part is really not the whole truth as not only some Malaysians do that but also some Indonesians do use that word themselves.

I hope that this whole thing would settle down soon since we are going into the month of Ramadhan soon and later after that we would be celebrating Aidil Fitri. That would be the time to forgive each other but we should not wait for that. My Honeybunch and I feel that this whole issues would not make anything or anybody better but both side would have many more things to lose rather than gain.

"Daripada gaduh gaduh, lebih baik makan gado gado..."

Anyway, it feels good to be writing again...

The first "new" entry

I have not been writing for the past few months. About 4 months according to my Honeybunch. I have been busy and at the same time the new layout on the efx2 was really not to my taste that it turned me off quite badly.

Anyway, I was about to write again and then for the last few days, efx2 was not reachable... All that I can get was the server not found message. I guess was the straw that broke the camel's back. I had enough. Honeybunch had enough. Pasha had enough. Therefore, we anonymously made a decision to move and here we are at our new home.

Here is the first "new" entry for our new place. I had to put the word new there since this entry would not be the last entry after we transferred all our entries from efx2 to here. We could only do that once efx2 is up again and then the question is: Will it be up again?

Lastly, welcome to our new home and have a nice day to all of you!
