Potato Duchess

Yesterday was an 'off' day as I had an afternoon nap that lasted until 8 pm. It was definitely NOT the hottest idea because I was wide awake until past 4 am. Less than 3 hours later my alarm rang, and it was time to get Miss Kiki ready to go to school. Lucky for me, my sister is driving her to school this week. Or my dad. Yeah... very lucky.

Well I spent a good portion of my time in bed not sleeping, but browsing pinterest and youtube, and I got excited about baking. Not to let my excitement turn to dust, as soon as Miss Kiki left I got started. The project this morning is the Potato Duchess.


I don't know where the Potato Duchess got its name from, but they are pretty, and very easy to make. Here's what you need:
  • 3 medium sized potatoes (about 750 grams)
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoon of butter or margarine
  • salt, pepper, nutmeg to taste
  • any other spices you like: I used coriander and garlic powder
  • Cooking spray (or melted butter, or vegetable oil)





The How To:
  • Peel, boil, and mash the potatoes. Do not add milk like you would a traditional mashed potato. I used my Kitchen Aid with paddle attachment for the whole process until it is ready to pipe. 
  • Preheat oven to 400F or 200C
  • Mix in the butter/margarine
  • Mix in egg yolks, one at a time. Make sure they are well incorporated each time.
  • Mix in all the spices to taste.
  • Pipe the mashed potatoes onto a lined cookie sheet. I used the Wilton Dessert Decorator. 
  • Spray with cooking spray, or you can brush the oil or butter on. Brushing would be easier if you refrigerate first after piping.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown
  • Serve right away. If you have extras I think you can freeze them and toast later.... but I've never tried it before.
The whole process was very easy, and yummy!

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...

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 3 - 3 Days 2 Nights Diving Trip With Chakana Liveaboard

  Photo credit: Lukas Rissing @thestudypacker A live-aboard experience is one of the highlights of Labuan Bajo. It has been on my bucket list for a while but every time I tried to go, something just didn't work out.... until now! The opportunity arose to join an impressive-looking boat this year and the dates matched Miss Kiki's holiday perfectly, how could I not take this rare chance! With less than a month to prepare, we booked plane tickets, accommodations, and whatever equipment we thought we might need. So off we flew to Labuan Bajo with little preparation and a lot of faith. ;) You can read the first and second parts of the trip in my previous posts. After we checked out of our hotel on the third day, we went to the pier and hopped on to a dinghy that took us to Chakana Liveaboard, a 47-meter-long phinisi-style yacht that was going to be our accommodation for the next two nights. My heart raced as we approached the pretty boat and spotted a group of staff excitedly wavi...

World of Ghibli Exhibition Jakarta 2017

A few months back I received an email about World of Ghibli exhibition in Jakarta. My skeptical brain immediately thought, "Aah, how good could it be... I've visited the museum in Mitaka   and it's probably not going to be any better." Fast forward to August, a few of my Japan loving friends mentioned that rumours said that the displays are very good, made by Indonesians in cooperations with Ghibli representatives from Japan. In fact, so good that the Japanese company plans to take the displays and give them a home in Japan. Well hearing this from several different people definitely piqued my interest and I decided to check it out. It turned out that Miss Kiki and DH also wanted to go so I bought tickets from Traveloka  because they had a sale.  In the morning of our visit day, I asked Miss Kiki if she wanted to dress up as Kiki when she goes and she excitedly said yes. I made her a red bow headband with Cotton and Steel's Supreme Solid in Bandana  ...
