Idul Fitri is coming, and my family already got that celebration-preparation madness.
It’s still a week to go, but it feels like it’s gonna be tomorrow. Uff…
So, this year is a bit different than usual (last year or last two years or last three years).
Mommy decided not to make cookies. Uuw.. she made up her mind that she’s gonna just buy them.
“Saves lots of energy and time”, she said. Ok, mom.. no objection then..
And there is one thing that I considered as a breakthrough.
Mommy wants to make her own candies. Yummy… totally..
BUT..
What’s not yummy is, I have a new torching assignment.
Well, gonna tell you about that later,. first, I’m gonna tell you how to make a bunch of jelly candies. Ok ok? interesting? no? hm.. still gonna tell you, like it or not. haha
---Jelly Candy---
- 400 gr of sugar
- 250 cc of water
- 1 pack of jelly powder (with color)
How to:
- Mix all the ingredients in a pot, cook them under medium fire and don’t forget to stir well. Wait until it boils and coagulate.
- Pick up and pour into a square brass or pan.
- Wait until it’s become a real jelly.
- Cut it into small pieces ( square like real candy), best with wavy-edged knife.
- Dry them under the sun until it dries and the sugar crystallized.
- Wrap them with plastic or colorful non-toxic paper.
- Eat them ! hohoho…
Ok, that’s it.. so easy..
Um.. remember when I tell you that I had a new torching assignment?
Well, when the jelly being dried up under the sun, I’m the one that supposed to look after them. Make sure that they are ok. Prevent all ants or any small creatures to get near them.
Annoying!!!
It was like 1:00 pm in the afternoon, and the sun was being really mean (or maybe he’s in a very good mood) because he shines brightly and the heat was unbearable.
Hoho… I got sunburn on my own fckn house. Totally not funny!
And when I complained to mom, she said “Consider it as a picnic, princess. Isn’t it lovely? Don’t you always laff picnic?”
Uff.. Get real, mom. This ain’t picnic at all.
But what can I say?
So I grab my precious sunglass (the one that I only wear on the beach) and my cap.
And have a fckn picnic on my clothesline, until it’s already 4:00 pm.
But it’s not done yet, gonna do that again tomorrow. Because the candies haven’t perfectly dried up.
