Boiled Butter Sweet Corn

Actually, I prefer just boiling the corn to eat but then I'm craving for this Boiled Butter Sweet Corn today. I remember when I was young my parents likes to buy me boiled corn when going to the cinema for a movie. Sometimes they brought boiled peanuts too. Those where the days, now that they are old  and have no strength to take me to the cinema no more. Perhaps I can take them to the cinema. This is the life of cycle. I hope and pray for them to have good health and live longer. Papi, Mami wait for me to come back next year, how nice if they can hear me now. I think they are in the middle of their sweet dreams now. Alright! back to the corn.

Corn is very healthy and delicious. The best thing is now every where at the store is having great deals. I'm getting these corns 4 for a dollar. Beware of heartburn when eating too much corns. It is difficult for digestion. Completely bite before swallow.

Boiled Butter Sweet Corn

   Ingredients   : 

   5     large sweet corn ( i used combo corn, yellow and white)

   3     tablespoon butter ( i used planta majerin)

Indonesian Layer Cake ( Kueh Lapis)

It needs a lot of time and patience to do this therefore it is not a ordinary cake. This time i was a bit rush therefore I'm using 2 baking trays to make this instead of one, or else you would be able to see more layers.

Try it out yourself and you will know!

Cheese & Fruit Kabobs

Fruit Kabobs will be everyones favorite at a party especially during this season, summer. At the request from my daughters i made this yesterday for their birthday party. Why they, is because my eldest Julia and Jocelyn's birthday falls on the same week therefore we might as well celebrate it together.

 I use mozzarella instead of all fruits on a stick. The fruits was so fresh and sweet plus the mozzarella was gummy and delicious, it makes a great matching.

There isn't particularly what is the ingredients, all you need is to pick your favorite fruits or any of the fruits of the season and stick it on a stick. Trust me that will make a good combination. No one can refrain from this. Thumbs up!!!
