This is also a breakfast staple in Indonesia! Sometimes this would be in my lunchbox too. It was only when I was grown up did I realize chocolate and sugar with bread for breakfast might not be the best for children. Mostly all moms will give you this for breakfast without a second thought. Other options would be bread with nutella, or bread with butter and white sugar o_o

if i serve myself, i always finish what i have in my plate. If I go out though, its a problem because I almost always can never finish my food, the portions are always too big! People will say that I'm dieting or something, but I truly am not! I don't like wasting food so I feel bad not finishing, but at the same time I just cannot eat more when I am full. I also feel bad when someone else is paying, because I don't want to seem ungrateful :(
Going to dinner when someone cooks is also a problem sometimes because they can serve a lot of food, and I don't think it is very polite not to finish the plate...but telling them not to serve too much also doesn't seem very nice! I still don't know what's the etiquette for these situations..

Netherlands anyone????? :)

I use to really really hate condiments. If a fry touched just a drop of ketchup I won't eat it because it grosses me out. Same for sandwich spreads, mayo, and thousand island sauce. I'm 25 now, and have been living in holland for the past two years, and have just grown to like dipping fries in mayo. But just a tiny bit. Still hate all the others I mentioned though, especially ketchup!

I learned a quick way to make puddings set is to dip the mold complete with the pudding in it in a water bath fillled with ice. Sets up in no time! Magic.
I also learned that sewing embroideries on a tea towel on your lap is not a good idea, especially when you are about to hand in your work and it turns out you have sewn it together with the skirt you are wearing.

Singapore airlines usually gives tasty meals.. I cant remember a particular one, but I usually retch when i smell airplane food, but for some reason not in Singapore airlines..

wow..i didn't even know you were supposed to string it. I just bite on to it. I've always wondered what the "string" means. Wow wow wow. enlightement.

i usually a real meal around 7, then snack on something at 9 or 10..but I have been studying abroad (im indonesian studying in the netherlands) and am friends with a lot of greeks, who eats dinner at 9 or 10,so now I eat dinner really late too! I eat at 9.30 or 10. Lunch is either at 4 or 5.

well im not sure if this counts as cooking, but i learned how to bake from blogs and baking websites. Seriously, everything from learning how to cream butter and sugar, whisking flour, etc. I went from making rock hard cupcakes to a pretty good baker (proven by my friends and families requests to bake all the time)!!

i have a dependency on fruit mentos (never mint!), and eat them on a daily basis, 3-4 times a day. I always have to have a roll of them on my bag, or else i get nervous.

cereal dust is good! especially the dust from sugary cereals like trix :D just to make it even better, i would add a little sweetened condensed milk and it becomes think and dessert-ish!

I live in the netherlands, and we have dr. oetker products dominating the fridge section. that said, i've tried one of these, and it tasted like ass! it was bland, oily, and the cheese tasted rubbery. i dunno. maybe they dont have quality control or something cause i could not imagine anyone trying this and saying it was okay, let alone delicious.

as always, beautiful introduction to the recipe!
