Thank You

When I sent this picture of Fruit Cake with Sour Cream as my entry (category: Baking and Photography) to celebrate KBB´s first Anniversary , I didn´t think that I´ll win the contest until Arfi, founder of KBB (Indonesian Baking Club), announced the winners of KBB Contest in KBB-mailinglist. What a surprise for me !

I would like to thank you to all of judges and also many thanks to mbak Arfi of homemades and Regina who sent me wonderful and useful gifts. Thanks a lot!

"Do you know the relationship between your 2 eyes? They blink together, move together, cry together, see things together and sleep together. Even though they never see each other, friendship should be just like that! Life is like Hell without FRIENDS. Its ‘World Best Friend Week’. Send this to your best friends to let them know you appreciate them.

Your Love is Ur Heart, Your heart is Ur Spouse,
Your spouse is Ur Future,
Your future is Ur Destiny,
Your destiny is Ur Ambition,
Your ambition is Ur Aspiration,
Your aspiration is Ur Motivation,
Your motivation is Ur Belief,
Your belief is Ur Peace, Your peace is Ur Target,
Your target is Heaven, Heaven is no fun without FRIENDS.

Now, I´d like to pass this to all of my blogger friends who are in my links and take the time to make any comments for me, my dearest friends in Hamburg who are really kind to share and send me recipes, my neighbour, and last but not least for my friend Jun.

Gründkohl/Kale-Beef Curry

Kale/Gründkohl, considered to be one of the most highly nutrious vegetables with powerful antioxidant properties, is very high in beta carotene, vitamin C, lutein and zeaxanthin and reasonably rich in calcium (source: Wikipedia).
What and where antioxidant can be found here.
I planted the seeds of Gründkohl/Kale in my little garden on March´07. Today, one of great joys is to pick the leaves and cook them in my kitchen. I just feel good! I made easy and fast Gründkohl-Beef Curry by using Instant curry seasoning mix. The taste of Gründkohl/Kale is almost similar with Cassava leaves or called daun singkong in Bahasa Indonesia.
