Olaaa!
Time really flies so fast! We are in the middle of November now. It has been a year and 3 months I've been living in Albany. Somehow I found that living by yourself is pretty tranquil. Living by our own doesn't really make us lonely. It teaches you to be self-dependent and could enrich you in a lot of aspects. I think it is a good opportunity for us to figure out what we genuinely enjoy to do and once you found it you can commit to it without feeling guilty. Some people kinda flounder when they live alone. But hey! Life isn't always full of unicorns and roses. It would be a blatant lie if I said I never wept. I sometimes feel lonesome and start to question my decision of continue my journey in the States. It is time when your mind thinks it is a good time to declare a war with your heart. Undoubtedly, all of us have our own downtime, but we gradually find our own coping mechanism as we grow. Say -- if you need someone, call the ones you love. If you feel weary of doing the same thing, try out new hobbies. The world out there is for us. For us to discover. With that strong-will, we morph into a tenacious individual! Aha! Much appreciated for coming to my very short ted talk. xD
Regardless, I don't have exciting plans for this whole month. Thanksgiving comes really late this year, and I have to wait until the end of the month to travel again. It is exciting I would say, but I hope the weather (cause snow already said hello to us last week) allows us to travel around.
Since I didn't have anything to commit, I mostly spend my time at home doing what I love doing - trying out new recipes or cook foods that I've been craving for so long. Aha. This girl needs to feed herself now! Last week, I tried making buttermilk chicken. Well, I've tried it before, but I didn't really jot down the recipe. Hence, I decided to actually write it down so that I can update here. So, here's the recipe!!!
Bahan- bahan:

Bahan- bahan:
Ayam goreng
- 1 1/2 mangkuk isi ayam
- 1 cawan tepung jagung
- 2 sudu kecil paprika
- 2 sudu kecil white pepper
- 1 biji telur
- 1 1/2 sudu kecil garam
- 1 tin evaporated milk
- 3 ulas bawang putih
- 1 1/2 sudu besar butter
- 2 sudu kecil tepung jagung
- 2 tangkai daun kari
- 2 cili padi
- Garam
- Gula
Cara-cara:
- Satukan semua bahan- bahan untuk ayam goreng. Goreng ayam sehingga rangup. Boleh double fry to make it crispier.
2. For kuah, panaskan butter atas api sederhana. Apabila butter panas, bawang putih, daun kari, dan cili. Kacau sehingga naik bau.
3. Masukkan tepung jagung untuk pekatkan kuah. It is optional. If suka kuah cair, no need to add tepung jagung. Kacau sehingga sebati.
4. Masukkan evaporated milk. Kacau supaya kuah tak berketul.
5. Masukkan garam dan gula secukup rasa.
6. Kecilkan api dan biarkan mendidih.
Dann siappp! This recipe is easy but, I don't really fancy part kena goreng ayam. Tapi, it is all worth it for this creamy buttermilk chicken.
