Good 'Ol Myself

Yeah! I'm back!

I read my friendster horoscope for today, and guess what it says..
"You can come out now. After days of wondering who the stranger behind your steering wheel was, you're suddenly feeling more like your old self -- and beginning to think about how to make compromises between the new and the old."

I couldn't agree more. Lately i feel like i'm not myself. Always complaining about things that happening to me. Blaming mylsef and feeling bored with my life. Wake up girls...there's no time for whining! But i think it's just because of my PMS hehehe.

Today i started my day by waking up late and i start working on 9.45 am. Oops! I'm late. My project manager already called me (as usual). I'm online as soon as possible and download emails...and then..2 jobs are waiting for me today. The first one is creating icons for the Instant Messenger that i've designed few days ago and the second job is creating a mock up design for the Instant Messenger Website. Nice!

My brain is a little bit slow today....so creating the icons and the website really is taking a longgg time. Infact...all day long. Well but i want to create the best....so that's the price to pay. I don't like it when my boss say that i've done a terrible job and i have to redesign it. I don't want to dissappointed him anymore..so i'll do my best.

Beside...tomorrow is saturday...my free day of the week. U know...in Indonesia...not every employee has their day off on saturday. So i considered myself lucky!

Saturday....here i come!

Bruschetta With Sauteed Mushroom, Red Bell Peppers & Cheese

I create this after i read my italian food recipe book. Suddenly i feel hungry and then i try to create a quick, easy & delicious pan-broiled bread (which i decide to call it bruschetta to make it simple).

I hope i write it correctly, this is my first written recipe creation i ever made. Usually i just remembered it, i never wrote it down. I found it pretty difficult to write a recipe....usually when it comes to measure the exact amount of ingredients :P Cheers!


Bruschetta With Sauteed Mushroom, Red Bell Peppers & Cheese

--Ingredients:-----------------------------------------------------
3 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
3 fresh button mushrooms, sliced (it taste better than the canned ones)
1/4 red bell peppers, finely chopped (paprika)
2 tablespoon grated cheddar/mozarella cheese**
Sprinkle of dried oregano & thyme*
salt & sugar*
2 slice whole wheat bread


--Preparation:-----------------------------------------------------
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat and cook the garlic for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and golden. Add mushrooms and red bell pepper. Cook over high heat, stirring for about 3 minutes. Add oregano, thyme, salt & sugar. Continue to cook, stirring once or twice, for about 8-9 minutes.

Meanwhile, spread 1/2 tablespoon oil on top of each bread. After the mushrooms cooked, spoon and spread over the bread and then covered with cheese. Repeat with the remaining mushrooms & cheese for the other bread.

Add 1/2 tablespoon of oil in the saucepan, spread and then pan-broiled over low heat for about 15-20 minutes or until crisp & golden. Serve immidiately and enjoy :)

* I don't know the exact amount of the dried oregano & thyme, coz i just sprinkled a small amount of dried oregano and a bit of dried thyme. Same case happened for the salt & sugar :p

** If you're on a diet, reduce the cheese or try to replace it with ricotta or parmesan cheese. The other ingredients is ok because i use whole wheat bread, olive oil (unsaturated fats) & red bell peppers.
