I have confession to make, I bake cupcakes for a living.
It gives me the chance to be home with my daughter and be creative at the same time.
On the day that I produced 360 cupcakes within 24 hours with help from my girls (June 5th, 2008), my darling Hubby said that we have a Home Industry now, I have to agree with him.

It is super easy to make, deliciously nutritious and I cook it 3 times a week for the three of us (cause we LOVED it !)

PS. Religion as it is practiced in Bali is a composite belief system that embraces not only theology, philosophy, and mythology, but ancestor worship, animism and magic. It is supposed to pervade every aspect of traditional life.

| | Good morning from beautiful and sunny Jakarta (for a change).
These photos are my entry for Pepy's Weekly Food Photography event, this week theme is Be Creative with your Sandwich. My favorite sandwich since I started being (very) curious in the kitchen is Banana & Cheese Sandwich, there's something about sweet and savoury in it that just simply delicious. My darling hubby get a bite every now and then when he's around, he went to the gym before work this morning so all of these are MINE (^_^)

 Had a FANTASTIC time in Singapore, was great to go to a familiar place and introducing lots of 'new' experience to Ariel. She was an angel during the flights, a great sport during our endless outdoor walking (and shopping) eat very well (tried Indian food too) and social bubbly girl with our friends and their children, she had a BLAST *smile*
Above pictures are some of our 'favorites' during this short weekend trip, from the clear blue sky (picture taken at Changi airport, 15 minutes after we landed) fast Mono Rail Train (Ariel's favourite part obviously), yummy Food (Chicken Rice, roasted & steamed) and the best CALAMANSI juice in can !!!
More pictures to follow later, must run and do my errands now, I'm sorry if I miss all your wonderful posting on MP but I will catch- up for sure, take care everyone (^_^)
