Rainy Day Dinner Menu

Rainy Day Dinner Menu

So, A few days ago, still worked at the old office...

As usual, I and my colleagues looked for lunch near our office. The sun really really showed his power to us. I mean, damn! It was truely hot that day. But, tho the sun was so hot and sexy, and i had gut feeling that rain would come down as the evening come too (becase rain fell down after hot day too, day before).  So after having lunch, we continued our work, our office room felt hot too. It seemed like the air conditioner didn’t work because the weather outside was extremely HOOOT! (Me and my friends thought like that). And then what happened next was my gut feeling came true. About 3 and 4 pm, sky became so dark and the thunder rumbled loudly too...and after the signs, rain fell down, just down hard, as hard as it wanted...

4.30 pm. the bell rang means it’s time to go home now, but what shoud I do if the rain fall so hard like that day. So, I just could wait.Maybe about 45 minutes later, slowly, rain stopped and I decided to go home. I stopped public motorcylcle (Ojek) to take me home. Me, myself, convinced that I could reach home safe and everything would be alright. On the way home, I found that there was flood in Taman Duta residence. Oh no, my motorcycle should turn around or take other route to take home. Fortunately, we could pass this flood, that was so relieved.

As long as i sat on motorcycle i had already thought about food, food, and food, since my belly was so hungry. Warm food... ah.. could be very warm, warm my belly, warm my body, warm soul too. But mom went outside to visit my aunt’s mom who passed away that day... so it’s me had to provide meal for myself tho... okay, I stopped the motorscycle and bought an instant corn soup powder, imagined that the corn soup would be soooo warmmmm.

Nah, what came next was so unpredicable! After buying instant corn soup, I continued my way back home. The rain was really really hard indeed, and flood didn’t only happen at Taman Duta, but also in Pondok Duta (near my residence) and my motorcycle driver didn’t want to continue taking me home. And you know what, I had to walk, by my foot, walked through the water, the flood, heavy footstep because you walk in water it would be hard to walk. So hungry, cold, chill, shivered but had to keep walkin.

Huffft, finally i was getting home and i didn’t enter house soon. I went to smal stall near my house to buy some stuffs to be cooked. I picked an eggplant, ginger-milk powder, and sausages. After I reached home, i mopped floor because the roof was leak and finally I started cooking.

I checked refrigerator and only found this: lettuce, mayonnaise, egg, onions, bellpepper, and half portion yesterday- cooked-rice. And i started it. I made tempura first: Chopped the onions and eggplant, mixed the flour, water, and seasonings. Put in chopped onions and eggplants in mixed flour, wrap them with flour powder, and just fried it till it done.

After tempura, I worked for the soup. Pretty easy! Just chopped sausages into small pieces, boiled some water, added the instant corn soup powder and sausages and stirred it well. Done! As I served it, I didn’t forget to serve it with lettuce and mayonnaise, also the hot ginger-milk. And I ate a lot till belly was so full! Happy with what I’ve done... I still had to face the realita: wash the cooking and dinner utensils hahaha.
