DIY: Exploring EGG CUP Recipes

When I made this recipe, I didn't know the recipes. I didn't even know it was called "EGG CUP". I just give it a try. And the next day, when i browse on the net, i found one of the web about this "Egg Cup" recipe. Wuoooww... ok ok i'll read it :D

But, my version is not using any milk or cream or even heavy cream or cheese. No No No. I just want to keep it light and a little bit healthier.

So this is 2 of my egg cup versions. The first one is the one before i look at a recipe on web. The second one, i just improvise from the first one. If you try my recipe and if you think it's not right, that's ok. We have our own taste, right.

How many cup can you make? Well, it depend on how big the egg and the size of the cupcake pan you'll use. For the first version, i made 4 egg cups. And the second version i made 6 cup.

First Version:
MUSHROOM & SAUSAGE EGG CUP

uupppss... the photo a bit blur 
1 egg
A pinch of Salt
A pinch of pepper
Button Mushroom, slice
Sausage (i use beef), slice it small of make an octopus cut for the center. It's just cute :)
Oregano (or other herbs if you want too)
1 table spoon water
1 table spoon all purpose flour
Olive oil to grease the cupcake pan

Mix 1 egg with a pinch of salt and white pepper (or you can use black pepper if you like). Add water and flour to the egg and mix it well again until the flour combine with the egg & water. 

Mean while, pre-heat the oven. Use a cupcake pan and grease it with olive oil so the egg will not stick to the pan. And then put the pan inside the oven while it is pre-heat so the pan and the oil will be hot enough. After the pan heat for around 3-5 minute on the oven, pull it out, and let's start placing the batter. 

Pour the egg batter to the cupcake pan. Each cup need 2-3 table spoon of the batter. Place the mushroom, sausage and oregano. Bake it for 10-15 minute. I use both top & bottom heat. The batter will rise up and if the egg turn brown, it is ready.

You can eat it as it is or you can serve it with mayonnaise and chili sauce like i did.


Second Version:
POTATO EGG CUP WITH TUNA, PAPRIKA, MAYONNAISE & CHILI SAUCE



The same batter as the first version, but i replace the sausage with slice of smoke tuna, add paprika and boiled slice potato.

Make the egg batter just like the first version too. Pour the egg batter to the pre-heat cupcake pan with each cup need 2 table spoon of the batter. Place the boiled potato, smoked tuna, paprika and oregano. The batter will rise up and it is ready once the egg turn brown. Be careful when you took out from the pan, because if you put not enough egg batter, it could fall out.

NOTE:  I think you could mash the potato. But i don't know if it still be called egg cup or they have other name for it :D

So, serve it with mayonnaise and chili sauce on top. Or you can skip this part if you don't want it too spicy.

MADE BY REQUEST : Mba Imelda Lewono

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
Selamat pagi Good morning :)

It's been a long time since my last blog. Been busy lately (typical reason hahahaha).
Remember my previous blog about "WHITE PEARL BRANCHES ( 1 SET NECKLACE, BRACELET & EARRING"... So, this is a story behind a request specially made for mba Imelda Lewono. 

The basic design she like is the one from that blog. But since I use golden metal, she asked me if I can make it in metal instead of golden. (FYI it's not gold, just metal finishing with the look of gold. okay). I made the same style with metal, a view adjustment because different size of metal and pearls (real pearl doesn't have the same shape or size. It may look the same, but it's actually not really that same. It always unique by it's own, that's why i love pearls). 

This is the first photo i took after finishing the set.

Detail design WHITE PEARL BRANCHES 1 SET

Since I don't know how long the necklace she wanted, so I let the chain long enough for her to decide to let it long or make it short. Mba Imelda asked me to make the chain shorter since the one on display mannequin is too long. So, this is the one after i make the chain shorter for necklace & bracelet.



Shorter chain for necklace & bracelet
But then, it turns out her wrist is big (around 18-19 cm), so I add the chain back to the bracelet. And, mba Imelda ask if i can divide the chain to left & right so the hook will be in the center of the necklace. So I revise the necklace chain and this is the picture.


Approve design WHITE PEARL BRANCHES 1 SET for Mba Imelda Lewono

Alhamdulillah, the set is confirm and ready to send by TIKI.




Thank you mba Imelda for your special request. Hope you'll love it as much as i do :)

WHITE PEARL BRANCHES ( 1 SET NECKLACE, BRACELET & EARRING)

WHITE PEARL BRANCHES ( 1 SET NECKLACE, BRACELET & EARRING)

I got this idea from a DIY website. First of all, I would like to say thank you for those who share their knowledge. From a basic idea and creation, you can develop it to something beautiful & give it your own touch to make it your own unique style. 

Following the steps of the DIY, i found some difficulties too in the making. So, i try to develop the technique so it will not tangle with each other since it will be moveable and i guess you can style it as you like it too when you wear it.

So, using the White Fresh Water Pearl and Metal, this is WHITE PEARL BRANCHES accessories set (Necklace, Bracelet & Earring).

It's a fun crafty Sunday on Tjikini Craft Day :)

Inspirasi Tjikini Craft Day

Minggu lalu merupakan hari yang dilematis buatku. Kenapa? Karena eh karena, ada Inacraft & Tjikini Craft Day. Tapi karena kesibukan kerjaan dan beberapa faktor yang lain, akhirnya hari minggu menyempatkan diri mampir sebentar ke Tjikini Craft Day dan melewatkan Inacraft karena gak memungkinkan lagi sikon jalan raya kesana (stres baca info traffic... oh well sudah lah, maybe next time).

To be honest, pertama kali tau ada tjikini craft day ini dari facebook beberapa teman2 crafter tahun lalu 2012 (lupa persisnya kapan). Dan dari facebook juga, aku tau ada Tjikini Craft Day tgl 27-28 April 2013. Berhubung hari sabtu gak bisa jadwal padat seharian, jadi rencananya hari Minggu aja deh kesana. Tapi oh tetapi, pas baca status FB "Sawo Kecik" panen offline-nya udah sold out jam 11 di hari sabtu, agak jiper juga eenngg... minggu gimana ya masih ada gak ya. Terus liat beberapa foto teman-teman yang udah kesana so excited baaannggeett... So, hari minggu meluncurlah jam 10an kesana dengan harap2 cemas semoga masih rame. Hehehehe...

Pas sampe kira-kira jam 11, jreng jreng... meja2 stand didepan kedai Tjikini kok hanya ada 3 stand yg masih penuh sedangkan yang lainnya meja-meja kosong.. Dalam hati "Oh no... noooo.... masa udah abis sold out sedangkan baru jam segini (jam 11an)...". Ahirnya bertanya, dan ternyata baru pada mulai kok mendisplay standnya dan ada yg belum dateng... Oohh ppphhiiiiuuuwwwhhh... lega :) (yeeaaah agak lebay ya tapi memang aku kepikirnya ya gitu hihihihi).

Singkat cerita, ide craft yang gak kepikiran dan brilliant. Bahan yang mungkin sederhana bahkan recycle dikombinasikan dgn bahan lain, jadi craft yang unik dan one of a kind. Bagaikan membuka cakrawala baru (haiiyaaah lebay again). Tapi serius, justru datang ke acara-acara seperti ini akan sangat membuka wawasan banget.

Contohnya seperti Mba Nani (Ininani) dengan syal kantongnya yang lucu fungsional dan menarik. Cemprut dengan ouuugghh jahitan2nya yang unyu2. 13 Tiga Belas oleh Hitomi Miyashita dengan ide recycle karung menjadi tas, dompet dan lain-lain yang wuooowww cool (serius aku naksir tas bolak balik karung goni & batiknya tapi gak beli trus sampe skarang kepikiran... hiiiihhhh...). Ada juga crafter cowo (lupa nanya namanya) yang bikin kalung gelang dll yang unik dan kyknya belum pernah liat (agak jarang ketemu crafter cowo hehehehe). Oh ya ada juga yang jual teh dan ikan bilis (aku nyobain ikan bilisnya hehehe).
Ada juga yang lagi ikut workshop scrapbook. Seandainya ada waktu, pengen juga ikutan join workshop-nya tapi karena keterbatasan waktu jd ngeliatin aja deh sebentar.

Sayangnya karena aku gak bawa kamera, jadinya foto pake HP dan ups... stand yang bagian dalem agak2 burem dan blur karena kurang cahaya dan aku terlalu cepat bergerak (I am too excited... ouwwhh..).

Semoga lain kali bisa dateng lagi ke acara-acara seperti ini. Ikutan buka stand sepertinya sounds a good idea juga ya. Apalagi untuk event weekend seperti kemarin itu. It's a fun crafty Sunday :)

Made By Request : Pesanan Ibu Teti Budiman

Made by request Ibu Teti Budiman ini agak gak disangka2.
Karena desain yang dipilih cukup nyentrik juga. Rangkaian koin-koin yang disusun di rantai jadi kalo setiap jalan agak bunyi klinting klinting.  Desain aslinya sebenernya dikombinasiin dengan rangkaian batu juga tapi batunya dicopot supaya keseluruhan kalungnya metal semua. Funky kan :)

Thank you Tante ^_^

DIY: Spaghetti In A Sausage

This idea of spaghetti in a sausage comes from a DIY website.
I think this is great for kids. Cause it is look interesting. The sauce is just any kind of sauce you want for pasta. However, dont mix it too much because it'll break the spaghetti.

Slice each 1 sausage to 4-5 pieces. And just stick the spaghetti to the sausage. The sausage must be soft enough (if you keep it on fridge, just put it on room temperature so it will be soft enough or defrost it if it's frozen ). Be careful not to push too hard because you'll break the spaghetti. Boil it as for few minute (read the packaging of your spaghetti), mix it with the sauce and sprinkle cheese of your choise and ready to eat.

Tasty...
