Sandwhiches, A Simple Breakfast

Good morning, Ms. Sunshine! *I remember the way Flo, my student, greeted me. She called me Ms. Sunshine coz one day on Friday, I worn a sunflower dress. Well, anyway, that is not the point :)

Breakfast is an activity I usually missed. It is not a practical to do, especially in the morning. I don't like eating rice for breakfast. It is too heavy for my stomach and my teeth (*believe me, I am not that old. I am just being lazy to chew that long. Hehehe

Instead of eating rice for breakfast, I eat sandwhiches. At first, I tried to make it with btwo slices of rown bread, a fried egg, a slice of cheese, and some slices of tomato. (*so full, right? Then, when I chew, I was thinking 'Uh oh, this is the last time I ate sandwhiches with brown bread. Although, I kept full till 4 hours ahead because of eating brown bread, but still, I dont like it. People say brown bread will make you full longer than white bread.

After I change brown bread with white bread, I got tired with eating fried egg all the time. And one day, I boiled an egg for my sandwhiches. It tastes better and healthier. It reminds me of my breakfast days in Russia. ;) (*I miss you, Babushka.

Several weeks later, I got bored with breakfast. Before I go to work, I just drink a glass of water and a cup of coffee. Or, I just dropped by in a food stall to buy gendar pecel (mashed rice and boiled salad with peanut souce). (*what? mashed rice?? Yep, you heard me. mashed rice.

And this morning, playing harvest moon for 30 minutes made me hungry. I decided to make sandwhiches. I saved the game and walked to the fridge. Hemm, I dont have any meat. I saw tomatoes, cheese and mayonaise. What about eggs? Hemm, no egg for today. Lets make sandwhices with limited ingridients.

I put mayonaise on the two sides of two slices of white bread. I used pan to brown the bread. (*I dont have a toaster :p. After that, I cut a tomato, washed it, and sliced it. I put some sliced tomato on the bread. I grated cheese and put it on the top of tomato. The final touched, I put another bread after I put the leftover sliced tomato.

I was thinking, a cup of coffee might be good for this. I boiled some water then made a cup of coffee.

The taste? Hemm, alhamdulillah, it is delicious! beyond my expectation! :) and the coffee made it perfectly! So, I called this dish as tomato sandwhiches. I guess, I have another varian for my breakfast :)

Crafting, the way i love them by making something than buying stuff

Crafting. I am not a type of person who likes doing things in detail. That is way I dont really like sewing.

Crafting. Every time I heard this word, it reminds me of my first pandan-cake. I made it when I was in grade 9. I made it for my besty, Agata. I had limited monthly pocket money at that time. I couldnt afford to buy something good for her.

Her response was beyond everything. She said what a sweet of me and it fluttered her heart.

Since then, I realise that instead buying thing she would not like, it is better to make something special for her.

Many crafts I have made so far. At first, the main reason was because of money. But now, it is more than that. It is a way of being sincere.

And, one day, I got a shocked statement from my special friend. Since his birthday was coming soon, and I would not be there when he celebrated it, I made him a birthday card.

I gave him the card in the last night we met. I asked him, when his birthday is. I was so surprised that his birthday is different with the one he wrote in skype acc. Oh, no. I felt so ashame.

There was a quite line after that. I didnt know what to say. Suddenly, he asked whether I made it myself. I said yes. Then he said, he liked it very much. It felt like the heart and the feeling was all over on the card.

I was so speechless. I didnt know what to say. His words flutter me. What he said is totally right. There is a sincere feeling on the card. It can be a happy feeling, love, hate, frustrated feeling.

His real birthday is coming soon. I just dont know what to say and what to do. At first, I want to send another birthday card. But isnt it too much? Hempf....

Well, I hope, I will have another opportunity to meet him, again. I hope so. I really hope so.

For you, who like making something for the love ones, keep doing it. You will never know the joy you will get and the respond from them.

When you do crafting, your feeling is in what you make.
