My First Own Recipe

Hey there! It's been a long time since I last posted random things. Ha!
Well, today, I want to make a recipe post. And it's my own recipe. Yeay! After some years looking at cooking shows and streaming videos from Jamie Oliver's Food Tube, The Domestic Geek, and The Happy Pear (those are my favorite youtube channels for recipe. It offers you healthy food recipe), finally, I made my own. Of course it's not that original, but, I don't look at any recipe when I made it. And it turns out to be delish!

So, I woke up and relized that I have a nice whole wheat bread. I didn't want to eat like usual (bread with jam). I wanted to make scrambled egg, but I didn't want it to be plain. Then, I opened my laptop, searching for a recipe. Sandwich recipe. At that time, I already had a picture on my mind, what would I make. I have bread, eggs, and tomatoes. I watched Food Tube to look for how to make a good scrambled egg. Then, I watched The Domestic Geek for inspiration to make scrambled egg recipe. Finally, I knew what will I make. So, here are the ingredients:


What I do first is to make the scrambled egg. Here are the steps:
  1. Crack an egg in a bowl. Whisk it.
  2. Put a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Grate the cheese, and mix it with the egg.
  4. Dice the tomato.
  5. Heat a little bit of olive oil on the frying pan, and then add a tablespoon of margarine (or butter).
  6. Add the tomato, and let it on the pan for a couple of seconds. Don't wait too long because tomatoes are easy to break down.
  7. Add the egg's mixture to the pan.
  8. Add a good pinch of oregano.
  9. Keep moving the egg with a spatula until it's cooked.
  10. Serve it on a plate.
After the scrambled egg is done, I toast the bread on a frying pan with a little bit of margarine, and voila! Serve it on a plate like this ⬇


To accompany the food, I made a cup of tea. This one is my new favorite tea ⬇


Okay, this is not a promotional purpose. I do mean it. The tea is so good! You have to try it. Believe me!
I guess that's all for now. Please do comment if you have any suggestion or something else. Thank you!

PS: My phone camera is not good. Sorry for that.

My Favorite Puzzle Games


Hey guys!

I'm back again. So, today I want to talk about my favorite PC games. Yes, games!
Though I'm not a gamer, I still like to play games sometimes. My favorite genre of game is puzzle games. It's really interesting to think what way that we should do to solve the problem. It's so challenging, although maybe you can finished the game just a day or two, but, still for me, this genre is great.


I don't really play games much, but, I will mention 2 games that I like, which are LIMBO and Machinarium. They're both have a story (which I really love, since I don't like playing games without story in it). I'll tell you one by one.

1.  LIMBO
It's made by Playdead, a game developer from Denmark. This game is really dark. Not just because the game itself is in grayscale, but there are violence act and blood, though you can't really see clearly, but still. Thus, it is rated Teen. The story is about a boy who try to find her sister. At the beginning of the game, he is awaken in a middle of a forest. This is a begining for the boy to walk through the hell. This world is a hell for him (thanks to wikipedia for the interpretation). See, if you have watched Inception, you can understand that limbo is a place when you die in your dream, you will be trapped in this place, with infinite subconscious. You don't know where it will end. It's the same with the game. Usually in a game have 'lives'. And when you lost all your lives, the game is over. But not in limbo, if you die, you keep coming back to live. It's pretty scary actually. But the puzzle really makes me curious. 

The keyboard control is very easy. You just use 4 arrows (up, down, left, right) and Ctrl button. No need mouse for this game. 

I admit that I saw some walkthrough videos :p. But It's just 2 or 3 videos for all the levels. I was proud about it though. Hahaha.
Well, I guess it's enough for LIMBO. 
Ah, I forgot. I have to tell you that in this game, timing is everything. It's really important that you pay attention to it.

And these are some pictures from LIMBO:




(You can see that the screen is really clean. I mean, there are no options, or menus, on the screen. No lives, no HP, nothing. You just keep walking and solve the problems. When I was playing this, my Dad saw the screen, and he thought that I was watching a movie.)

It's made by Amanita Design, a game developer from Czech Republic. It is way joyful rather than LIMBO. There are songs playing. Good songs, with nice instruments. You can enjoy the songs in several parts of the game. For this one, you will need mouse to play. Since you will do many clickings on the screen. 

The story is about a male robot that want to save his girlfriend. I think the puzzle is harder than LIMBO, since the action that you can do have more various than in LIMBO. But, sometimes it's a bit absurd. I love LIMBO more, for the puzzle things. It's more logical. But, I still enjoy this game. You can have more stories about each character in the game. You can add more fun part if you play it with your friends, or brothers, or sisters, though it's a single player game, because there are things that you can laugh about together.

Here are some pictures from Machinarium:

And that's all about my favorite puzzle games. You can play both games, not just in PC, but also in another version. You can check in their official website. Just click the name of the game in this article. Bis bald!
