My older sister is joining us in the blogosphere.An automobile professional with a passion for food and cooking, it's no wonder that she christened her blog "The Motoring Chef". Here she blends the two sides of herself in a charming and interesting way if I may say so myself. After our mom, my sis was also the one who got me into food and cooking. The two of us spent years in the States, studying

Yesterday, my husband and I have been married for two years. The time just goes when you’re having fun and we have been having fun ever since we said our vows to each other. When we met three and a half years ago, we bonded over dinners and brunches that lasted for hours. Since being married, we continue to fill our days with great chatters over great meals at home or at one of our favorite

Living up to my blog’s name – absentminded cook – I forgot that I had a blog. So, imagine how surprise I was when I logged back in and found a message that I was awarded with the “Rockin’ Girl Blogger Award.” This award was passed down to me and four other girl bloggers from LitaS, who received it from Hanny and Eva, other seriously great girl bloggers. I do not deserve this award at all!

Love it when I found a recipe, tried it myself, and it became a repeat in my kitchen. Love it even more when I found a blog full of tested recipes, tried a couple of the recipes, and I became a big fan.The reason why I started this blog was because I wanted to share my interest in cooking, baking and all about food to other foodies out there. Naturally, I was inspired when I stumbled on Elise

You’d think making sushi would be as easy as slapping a piece of fish onto a rice ball. In theory it is that simple. Making it for the first time is a different story.My mother somehow got a chef from a very famous and always crowded sushi restaurant chain to teach her and a few friends how to make sushi and other Japanese dishes. And as a good mother, she passed down the knowledge to me a couple

Please read my little profile when you question the frequency of my postings: "A professional in a stressfull professional environment whose passion is food and stress management method is to get busy in the kitchen." The far in between postings should obviously show my stress level. Since going back to work last month, my stress level, which was the depth of a kiddie pool, has gone up to the

Going away for a weekend outing with the office when I’ve only been back at work for a week isn’t a shabby deal. We abandoned the office and flew to Yogyakarta, Central Java and drove up to Losari Coffee Plantation Resort and Spa for a long weekend.Surrounded by eight volcanoes, Losari is in a spot full of beautiful sceneries. The 20 hectares of land are filled with delightful, traditional and

Why does my husband call me the absent-minded cook? It’s not because he doesn’t appreciate the delicious dinners I prepare for us. It’s not because he didn’t enjoy the new recipes I’ve tried either. It actually came out of love and a story that he will never let me forget. My husband loves Banana Nut Bread and often makes it himself. It’s great for breakfast or accompanying afternoon tea. This is

Yesterday was a devastating day. Even with the several transportation accidents that occurred lately in Indonesia, nobody was prepared for this last one. For a colleague of mine, it hit too close to home. She lost a friend, someone dear to her in the accident. To her, I’d just like to say that I’m thinking about her while writing this and I hope she will be alright in time. People say that time

First post is the trickiest. It seems introduction is in order, but I feel tickled to write something mindblowing. You know what...mindblowing sounds like hard work for me. Let's just have fun with this blog, explore the absent-minded cook side of myself or others, and talk a lot about our favorite's topic: FOOD and COOKING and EATING IT.Food or anything that has to do with gastronomy has always
