This and That

A present to Beng & Lulu for their wedding (22 January 2006).

Allright, my "weekly" is a bit neglected recently. However, I've made bits of drawings for various purposes (mostly as greeting 'cards'). Here are some of them.

Tita at Lambiek's Comiclopedia

http://lambiek.net/artists/t/tita.htm
Lambiek's Comiclopedia must have the most comprehensive list of comic artists worldwide (over 7000 names in it!). I am really flattered when they added my name into the list (on January 20th, 2006). It might be an accomplishment for some people; but in my case (who have not yet published any book), I see it as a motive and a challenge: to be more commited in this field. After all, I think it's Lambiek who has been stimulating and nurturing my passion for comics :D

Ayam Goreng Kremes, versi instan

Description:
Bumbu Bamboe Ayam Goreng ini selalu tersedia di rumah, sebab ayam gorengnya sudah jadi favorit anak2. Air sisa rebusan ayam, ditambah tepung, bisa dibuat jadi kremesnya a la Ayam Suharti.

Ingredients:
Utk ayam goreng:
- Sekitar 500 gr potongan ayam bertulang & berkulit. Utk anak2 biasanya drumstick, meskipun 'karbonade' (paha atas?) atau sayap sebenernya lebih enak utk digoreng.
- Minyak goreng (utk deep-fry)

Utk kremes:
Dari beberapa variasi resep hasil browsing, sepertinya ini yg paling pas (modifikasi dari resep di DetikFood)
- 3 sdm tepung kanji
- 75 gr tepung beras

Directions:
Ayam gorengnya mudah dibikin, sebelnya cuma pas nggoreng, minyaknya meletup2.
- Rebus potongan ayam bersama bumbu Bamboe, sesuai petunjuk.
- Bila sudah empuk, tiriskan. Goreng dalam minyak panas hingga kulit ayam kering.

Nah bagian bikin kremesnya ini yg agak tricky - saya sendiri nggak selalu berhasil bikinnya.. hehehe... Sebab, selain panasnya minyak yg harus dijaga stabil, campuran tepung juga harus pas (tapi ini biasanya saya kira2, nggak pakai takaran tepat).
- Tinggalkan sekitar 2 gelas air rebusan ayam + bumbu
- Masukkan bahan kremes ke dalam air rebusan tsb., aduk rata
- Tuang sesendok demi sesendok ke dalam minyak panas
- Tunggu hingga mengambang dan mengering, dulang dan tiriskan
- Taburkan di atas ayam goreng, saat menyajikan
