for everyone

Another week has gone by and I start having problem in creating a menu for the following week. It seems that my brain just got stuck with the same foods. I had to open my cooking books to get the inspirations but at least those books are being used instead of just sitting on the shelves. I still have yet to include some Indonesian dishes in the menu

Just another challange, right?

Here are the dishes for this week.

Monday - Fried Udon with Chicken and Vegetables
Tuesday - Pork Braised in Sweet Soy Sauce and Stir Fry Chinese Cabbage with Garlic

Note: The dish is nice with a touch of five spice powder.

Wednesday - Portuguese Style Yellow Rice and Pan Fried Chicken

Note: The chicken was supposed to be marinated with Nando's sauce but I couldn't get it from the supermarket on the grocery day.

Thursday - Fetucinne Carbonara with Pancetta and Cos Lettuce Salad

Note: Pancetta please... not bacon.

I used a mixture of low fat evaporated milk and low fat cream for the sauce.

Friday - Beef Quesadilla with Tomato Salsa and Chili

Note: The dish is a very healthy combo meal. It has a lot of vegetables, high in protein and low in fat.

Saturday - Left over quesadilla for lunch and dinner... man... the quantity was apparently a lot and... left over fetucinne carbonara. Sunday - Canelloni with Chicken and Tomato Sauce for lunch (my in law cooked this and the food was really nice.) and Tortellini with Bolognese Sauce, Grana Padano and Crispy Hungarian Salami for dinner.

makasih mbak. aku masih belajar banyak nih utk menghias makanannya dan ngepotonya juga. kadang ampe frustasi gitu... heheheheh

naskun portugis... hmmm aku ngikut si Nando's, gak tahu ya beneran portugis apa kagak. ehheheh tapi biasanya sih jenis2 nasgor daerah2 spanyol dan sekitarnya dikasih paprika, onion, bawang putih dan biasanya dikasih herb oregano, sweet paprika dkknya. mirip2 paella gitu. :)

iya tuh si garpu. sebal banget deh begitu lihat di monitor. susahnya ngefoto cream sauce yg kentel, cepet keringnya. waktunya asli limited banget buat diputer sana sini.

walah bener2 menunya sippp!!! suka nih gw ama backgroundnya say. Good shot!

wajanpanci wrote on Sep 30, '07

waduh kalo masaknya macem2 mah, bisa selesai tengah malam sebelum makan. dulu aku penggemar kerupuk, kalo makan mesti ada. tapi skg udah hilang kebiasaan tsb :)

buat aku sih kalo bisa carbo, sayur dan daging ada di dalam satu makanan. kalo sayurnya gak bisa bareng, palingan menumis atau bikin salad.

iya nih... :)
