KEDELAI MILK

Jumat, 20 November 2009

Vanessa is having sore throat so she should rest today and as a result I stay at home too. Time to go crazy in the kitchen. For lunch I made fish ball soup for Vanessa and Spaghetti extra pedas for me. I made Tandoori for dinner and bake a second trial of cinnamon rolls. As I still had some energy, I closed the day by making my own susu kedelai…it’s so fresh that I believe it’s going to make us really really healthy.

1 cup soy bean, wash and soak in clean water for 4 hours
3 cups of water
sugar
In a blender, add soy beans and water and process until all smooth.
Mine has a filter to separate the juice, otherwise sieve the milk using a strainer or fine cloth.
On a small pot boil the soy milk, add sugar if you like. Serve hot.

MADAKARIPURA

Jumat, 06 November 2009

The accurate obsevation o the history proves that this beautiful and lovely Indonesia was formerly called Nusantara In 1869 when a Europian writer named James Richard Logan wrote the name Indonesia for the  first time, then followed by other writers, the name Indonesia become more popular than Nusantara.

The than existing Nusantara was a large imperium, extending from Wanin to Madagaskar, under the power of Maha Raja Mojopahit by the name of Prabu Hayam Wuruk. There was a Prime Minister which is known as Maha Patih Gajah Mada, who strongly struggled to unify the whole territory of Nusantara under span of control of Majapahit. So is does  make sense that Gajah Mada was considered more famous rather than Hayam Wuruk nor Majapahit.
 
 Madakaripura is a sacred visiting area comprising lines of waterfall where it’s center reaches a height of 200 m from the bottom. The falling water seems to fly down joyfully, dancing sporadically to and fro, sliding one after another, crushing down the bottom with a big roar. It is interupted sometimes by a big boom, the echoe of which thrills the narrow pit that sizes only less than 25 m in diameter, uttering sounds like thunder. Following next is the blow of the buzzing wind, sprinkling soft drops of water, welcoming the new arrivals. The sprinkles of water reflecting miscellaneous colour and beautifully enlighten by the sun that shines like the Eye of the God, creating the rainbow.

This great natural power in Madakaripura was chosen by Gajah Mada as this spot for meditation in search of supernatural power, that so powerful he supposed to be. After proving evidence of Sumpah Palapa (Palapa Vow) by unifying the Nusantara, here is also where he spent the rest of his life setting up vanity (Muksha), into Nirwana. It is now clear that Mada Kari Pura really means “the last residence for Gajah Mada”. Whenever we recall the great merit of Gajah Mada, and wish to sense his mighty might, we could just come there and wait for the rainbow. His soul would come down the colouring stairs, showering the holy water called “Tirta Sewana”. Many believes that Tirta Sewana is a healing agent and capable of preserving young age.

The fatigue and axhaustion one undergoes from climbing the peak of Bromo, would immediately gone after getting a bathe with the holy Tirta Sewana so to continue the travel to other visiting points in Probolinggo area.
