These cookies is a Christmas classic and they taste yummy!

This is my hubby's grandmother's recipe

 

Ingredients:

- 1 cup of butter soft (out of the fridge for a few hours)

- 1/2 cup of brown sugar

- 1 egg yolk

- 2 cups of flour

- pinch of salt

- 1 tbs of white sugar

- 1 tbs of milk

- 1 tsp of vanilla

- colored sprinkles

 

Hint: It is easier to mix the ingredients with your hands then with a mixer, but that's up to you.

 

In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together:

 

With the dough, make 1 1/4" round balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet:

 

With a fork, flatten dough with a criss cross pattern:

 

Bake in the oven at 350 F for 10 min.

Place on grill to cool.

Add sprinkles and..... Voila!!!

 

Shortbread cookies

 

 

 

Bon Appetit!!!

I love cookies.

I promise I'll make it by myself this christmas

Keanu Reeves!!

I saw a video on youtube. It recorded when Keanu Reeves generously gives up his seat on the subway. He seems so nice

It took me a few minutes to remember, but then I found it.

at just under six minutes in . . . he doesn't actually say he was wearing nothing underneath, but says "let's just put it this way, I hope the rushes never ever ever come out."

Don't you hope it ever come out?

Well, there's his real one, and then there's this one which is made of wax.

 

This is the wax?

I was wondering how did you get it if it's the real one.

I was wondering if Mika gave the chance to photo his butt

this looks delish! i've to try sometime, but we don't get keffir lime leaves here...

do you have Asian or Indian groceries there?

you probably find it there.

but it doesn't matter if you don't add the keffir lime leaves, it just gives fresh smell in this food

well they probably saw Boss's butt

that's the awkward moment

Here the recipe. You can serve it on christmas. Remember to use beef, not the other meat because it will take hours to get the fine texture.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pound boneless beef short ribs (cut into cubes)

5 tablespoons cooking oil

1 cinnamon stick (about 2-inch long)

3 cloves

3 star anise

3 cardamom pods

1 lemongrass (cut into 4-inch length and pounded)

1 cup thick coconut milk

1 cup water

2 teaspoons tamarind pulp (soaked in some warm water for the juice and discard the seeds )

6 kaffir lime leaves (very finely sliced)

6 tablespoons kerisik (toasted coconut)

1 tablespoon sugar/palm sugar or to taste

Salt to taste

Spice Paste:

5 shallots

1 inch galangal

3 lemongrass (white part only)

5 cloves garlic

1 inch ginger

10-12 dried chilies (soaked in warm water and seeded)

How to serve:

1. Chop the spice paste ingredients and then blend it in a food processor until fine.

2. Heat the oil in a stew pot, add the spice paste, cinnamon, cloves, star anise, and cardamom and stir-fry them until aromatic.

3. Add the beef and the pounded lemongrass and stir for 1 minute.

4. Add the coconut milk, tamarind juice, water, and simmer on medium heat, stirring frequently until the meat is almost cooked.

5. Add the kaffir lime leaves, kerisik (toasted coconut), sugar/palm sugar, stirring to blend well with the meat.

6. Lower the heat to low, cover the lid, and simmer for 1 – 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is really tender and the gravy has dried up (more dry will taste better)

7. Add salt to taste. You can add sugar if you want. But don't add too much

8. Serve immediately with steamed rice or baked potatoes

my brother in law worked in Indonesia for many years... i bet he knows all about it. he is now working in Egypt.

wow, your brother in law has great job. he has traveled around the world

Hi, was just lurking, but wanted to say I just love the Indonesian kitchen!

Hi, i was just lurking, too, but i wanted to say i love worldwide kitchen!!!

Hi, i was just lurking, too. but i wanted to say i love MFC kitchen!

 

 

 

you have rice for breakfast? i didn't know that! i love learning new things on MFC!

 

i could have rice for breakfast, dinner & supper! i love it!

Yes, we have rice for the whole day. Maybe it's because our country produces more rice.

But, sometimes I eat bread for breakfast

I will post the traditional recipe from my country later. It takes hours to serve it. Spicy meat mixed with coconut, we call it Rendang.

And in portuguese "arroz doce" (sweet rice)

In Indonesia, we call it "Bubur".

But, the taste is more spicy because we don't add sugar, milk, even cinnamon.

We add salt, pepper, pea, and chicken chopped.

We usually having it as breakfast.

But, I will try the sweet pudding rice.

I think it will be nice

THOSE EYES AND LIPS

I love when he said "illusions" on Your Sympathy. Sounds so french and desperate. I don't mean that I'd love to see him desperate

I'm the girl who loved his legs too much

*calls Mika*

Mika: hello again

Me: hi Mika, I don't disturb you, do I?

Mika: of course not. Oh, I have something for you.

Me: oh really? What is it?

Mika: I just wanna say "If I am a kid, you are the mother. You are simply all I need, and no, I don't want another"

Me : *freeze*

Mika: are you there?

Me: *still freezing*

Mika: ok, I'll hang the phone

Me: *freezing forever*

*calling Mika at 3 in the morning (timezone differences)*

Me: OMG am I calling the right number? Is that Mika?

Mika: uhm-huhm

Me: OMG Mika I'm your biggest fan ever!! I love you!!

Mika: uhm-huhm

Me: is my love too normal to you

Mika: uhm-huhm

Me: FINE! *hangs up*

Mika: uhm-huhm

Mr Curiosity by Jason Mraz

I miss this thread.

Where are you, Rox?

*calls Mika*

Mika : hello, leave the message after 'beep'

Me: there's no 'beep'. How can I leave the message?

Mika: uh, really?

Me: oh, you're there

Mika: oh, crap

:roftl: i thought it was some insider joke i didn't get...such randon lyricism..

the right question is: whose aunty?

Yes because a metaphor like an umbrella (-ella -ella) is not strange at all.

 

I don't think being under water is the metaphor. It's that this love is as life sustaining as air.

That's why he call his next album 'The Origin of Love'.

Maybe he means the origin of love is full of metaphor. No words can exactly explain what love is.

Anyway, I truly love this song

Seoul Korea MFCers were the first ones to hear "live" Mika's new song called "Under Water"
