Garlic Cheese Dip


This family of mine is like a family of owls. We go to bed late, and we wake up late whenever we can. Yes, including our baby owl who turns into a monkey when she's actually up. With this schedule, we eat brunch during lunch time, we have dinner, and then we hunt for food in the kitchen closer to midnight.

This article features a recipe that saved us many times from starvation. When I make this dip at home, I put enough garlic to ward off any vampires from miles away. Although, Twilight have made it known to the world that vampires are NOT afraid of garlic. Sigh..... there goes my theory. Anyway, I wouldn't want to scare Edward Cullen away if he does come this way.... Hoohohoho...

So the garlic in this recipe has been reduced for normal people. You can add or subtract to taste.

What you need:

  • 2 cloves or garlic, crushed and finely minced
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonaise
  • ground black and/or white pepper to taste
  • optional herbs like dill or basil
  • chopped green onion for garnish
The How To:
  • Mix all ingredients except green onions until well combined and smooth
  • Sprinkle green onions on top
  • Serve with toasted Naan bread (or any toast)

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Where To Eat in Medan, North Sumatra

  If you talk to anyone about Medan, the number one thing that comes up is definitely the food. The distinguished Chinese-Medanese cuisine is known to Indonesians as exceptionally delicious. Just as famous is the Batak cuisine with its pork dishes and others. Now that we've been to Medan, these are our recommendations! Macehat Coffee Macehat is famous for their Avocado Coffee drink, but they also offer snacks and coffee beans. I've heard so many rave reviews for this coffee shop, but my final verdict is: it's ok, just so so.

Nasi Tumpeng - Yellow Rice Mountain Recipe

Last week, one of my friends posted a picture from her daughter's birthday with a "Nasi Tumpeng" in it. Traditionally, in Java and some other places in Indonesia, this mountain-shaped rice dish is served for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations. Below are some pictures of full blown Nasi Tumpeng platters. From satelitnews.co From bundatwinskitchen.files.wordpress.com From indochili.com Impressed yet? Well, the fore-mentioned friend offered me to come over to her place and learn how to make it so of course I gladly went! I am well aware of my cooking capability (and patience) so we made a much simpler (and smaller) version of it.  For the rice you need: 2 cups uncooked rice 1 cup coconut milk (you can put more or less depending on your preference) 1 stem lemongrass 2 bay leaves (dried or fresh) 2 lime leaves (dried or fresh) some turmeric (powder or fresh) water Here's the how to: ...
