Menu berbuka puasa

Assalamualaikum...

Harini genap 3 hari mira berpuasa (puasa 6), dan untuk harini special sikit menu die sebab im carving for cream of mushroom dgn garlic bread, tengok kat kedai yg instant da mahal, dulu mira beli rm3 je... so senang cerita mira buat la sendiri, untuk resepi cream of mushroom mira refer buku 'profesional cooking 6th edition' tapi yelah kat Malaysia ni tak semua benda available, dan mira olah menjadi resepi yang paling simple. ok here we go:

500 ml full cream milk
1/2 no onion
1 nos garlic
2 nos button mushroom
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp all purpose flour
some sautee mushroom for garnishing

1. Blend onion, garlic, button mushroom
2. Sautee the blended ingredients (sampai wangi)
3. Masuk kan sautee mushroom (actually benda ni kena letak time nak hidang, tapi sebab mira malas nak garnish so campak2 je lah) dan masukkan susu, tukar api kecil, function api kecil ni untuk elak susu jadi curdle.
4. Dalau periuk yang lain buat blond roux (function roux ni sebagai thickening agent selalu guna dalam western dish)  masak butter dengan tepung sampai perang sedikit
5. Bila soup tadi da menggelegak masukkan roux. (untuk mix thick liquid ke thin liquid, mula2 kena campurkan 1 ladle thin liquid ke dalam thick, kemudian masukkan liquid yang dicampur tu ke dalam thin liquid)
6. Perasakan dan bring to boil, siap....

untuk garlic bread lagi la senang, siap boleh tinngal solat asar sementara dia masak; resepi ni dapat masa kelas basic western dengan Cik Mat masa diploma dulu.

4 keping roti buku (better guna french loaf)
1 tbsp margerine
3 nos garlic

1. Cincang garlic sampai halus dan campurkan margerin, kacau sehingga rata, ketepikan.
2. Potong roti kepada 3 bahagian
3. Sapu roti dengan margerin garlic tadi dan susun di atas baking tray
4. Bake selama 15 minit, 150 degree celcius

kalau ada gambar mesti lagi senang, tapi nak buat macam mana orang puasa tak boleh tenung makanan lama2... bwahaha (alasan je)...

Do yo believe in cinta?

Assalamualaikum...

Recently there are questions in my mind about love. What people seek in cinta? Why people easily fall in love? and Why people when madly-in love they are acting like other person sampai boleh lupa bini tua kat rumah, sampai tertinggal awek kat kampung...

Dan ini mungkin boleh jadi jawapan untuk sedikit dari persoalan itu, dipetik dari tulisan Aiman Azlan (die lagi... haih)

So what really is this thing called love? Anthropologist Helen Fisher, a professor at Rutgers University, has conducted an extensive research on the biochemical pathways of love in all its manifestations: lust, romance, attachment, the way they start and wane, etc. Here is part of what her research is about:-

"After doing MRI on the brain of two lovers - they had been 'madly in love' for seven months during that time - she found out that parts of brain linked up to reward and pleasure - the ventral tegnmental area and the caudate nucleus- lit up. What excited Fisher most was not so much finding a location, an address, for love as tracing its specific chemical pathways. Love lights up the caudate nucleus because it is home to a dense spread of receptors for a neurotransmitter calleddopamine, which Fisher came to think of as part of our own endogenous love potion. In the right proportions, dopamine creates intense energy, exhilaration, focused attention, and motivation to win rewards. It is why, when you are newly in love, you can stay up all night, watch the sun rise, run a race, ski fast down a slope ordinarily too steep for your skill. Love makes you bold, makes you bright, makes you run real risks, which you sometimes survive, and sometimes you don't." [The Chemistry of Love, National Geographic]

Sounds familiar? Mind you that mentally-ill people also shows high amount of dopamine in their brain, and scientists cannot tell apart one who is mentally-ill and one who is 'madly in love' by just MRIing their brains. Cool, right? The meaning of 'madly in love' is more real than what we think of, as the brain chemistry of infatuation is indeed akin to mental illness. Tak heran la, pijak semut pon tak mati, lautan api pon akan ku redah, dan gunung tinggi mana pon akan ku daki. Do you think an orang gila can make a sound judgement? The fact is, when you are in deep romantic obsession, you just want to win rewards from your partner due to the excessive dopamines, not objectively finding faults in him or her as you claim. Of course nobody is perfect, there is no point in finding every faults in your partner, and supposedly marriage is about reconciling differences and accepting the fact that your partner is another human being, inescapable from making mistakes.

So simple words is org bercinta = org gila

Alamak... macam mana ni? 

Biarkan kisah ini tergantung, lepasni kalau boleh Mira nak cari dari sudut agama pulak... biarkan la Cik Mira menggogle... hewhew...

JANGAN DITANYA HATI INI JIKA HANYA UNTUK DISAKITI, JANGAN DIMINTA DIRI INI JIKA HANYA UNTUK DIJADIKAN KULI... (...dear husband in future)
