[Sumber : canva]

Assalamualaikum everyone...
Cooking is an activity that has many benefits for me. Besides being able to relieve excess stress, cooking can also train patience by following recipes one by one slowly to create delicious dishes. This time I will write a little about the activities I did today.

Reminiscing the past

This morning after breakfast we gathered in the family room. Because I was at my brother's house we often gathered together after eating. And this time to overcome boredom we looked back at the old photos in the album. My brother has a lot of old photos and there are even photos of my mom when she was in school and many other photos.

Here I see a picture of me when I was 5 years old. When I was in school, my brother and I often went to Kuala simpang where my miwa was. We would always go there during school vacations. After arriving there we were always bought supplies for school and because we had done it since elementary school so the habit began to form until we were in high school. When I was in elementary school I always cried when I got there even though when I left for Kuala simpang I was the most excited, but after I arrived and realized that I could not be away from my mother I immediately cried. Not only once I continued to cry every day in the morning until it was time for our father to pick me up. But strangely enough when school vacation came I still went there.

But all those moments are now just photos that I can only remember without being able to repeat. Therefore it is very important for us to save many memories through photos.

Following the tik tok viral recipe again

In the afternoon we wanted to make something and this time I cooked because I wanted to follow a viral recipe on tik tok that has been seen a lot lately. The name of the food this time is goguma cheese bread, this food is said to come from Korea because the name is goguma which means purple sweet potato.

The first step is to prepare the ingredients, which consist of

• purple sweet potato
• bread flour
• baking powder
• uht milk
• mozzarella cheese
• granulated sugar
• sweetened condensed milk
  -salt

Manufacturing steps

• Make the bread dough by adding bread flour, salt, sugar, baking powder,and milk.

• Stir and knead the dough until smooth then cover using a cloth and wait for 30 minutes for the dough to rise slightly.

• While waiting for the dough to make the filling by steaming purple sweet potatoes until cooked.

• After that, crush the steamed sweet potato and mix it with condensed milk, butter, and uht milk. For the amount of milk according to taste, if you want sweeter, you can put more sweetened condensed milk.

• Next, roll out the dough into a wide area and then put mozzarella cheese, sweet potato and cheese again in a pile.

• Cover the dough and cook over low heat on a telephone until browned.

Family photo together

In the evening, we took a group photo. When we get together, a group photo is a must-do for our family, and we don't have to wear matching clothes. This time we took a photo using simple clothes without having to prepare in advance. Here we took photos from various sessions. The first session was done by those who are married only. The second session is by those who are male. The third session was all the women and the fourth session was the whole family.

Since I was single, of course I only got two photo sessions haha but it was okay because I was in charge of seeing the results of the photos. At the time of my turn there was a lot of drama by gathering small children who were a little difficult to take pictures with. There was one of my cousin's sister who cried so she didn't take a picture. After everyone was done taking pictures, we got back to talking about old things that happened to us. And funny moments when we got together in previous years.

Inside the day we didn't do much. Just gathered and bought my mom's favorite tek tek noodles and ate them together. After we finished eating we started watching a movie together and finally fell asleep. These are some of the activities I did with my extended family.

Best wishes,
