She's my father's older sister.. She lives in her hometown in Jepara Central Java.. Last week she came over and helped around in my new house.. Since the moving was hectic, we were really only able to cook real food since yesterday..

Now my aunt is famous for her homecooking.. Rendang (using ox meat instead of beef) is her specialty.. her shrimps, chicken, crabs, and even clams wer magnifico... :D Whenever we went to Jepara, we'd sleep at my late grandparents' house.. Everyone related lives in the village.. including my dear aunt :) so every meal would be spent at her house eating anything she'd prepare :D

So yesterday she started cooking her famous shrimp boto'.. Im tellin u dis aint no ordinary store bought boto' u could buy in restos.. dis was a boto' u savor each coconut n shrimp dat reaches ur mouth.. Ok. So the boto' was good. No one can doubt her boto'... Dis morning we had anchovies.. She seemed to not be able to fry anchovies d way we're used to.. she kept on saying "like this? and like this?" hoho.. so she finally has a weakness.. anchovies.. she said "but i usually cook them 2gether, not 1by1.. " and we said "no, no.. dat would not taste good.. plus its hard 2make them cook just right"... Halfway, she thought cooking 1by1 was hard n time wasting, so she did it her way... and then i tasted it... "WOOOW...!!!" so lite n crispy..! thin n tasty..! "this is great!" i exclaimed... and she just smiled.. and we all agreed dat this is how anchovies should b cooked from now on...

And for dinner, we had squid.. and of course, we couldnt get enough of it.. i didnt try 2wipe my mouth even when my lips n teeth are black from d ink haha.. how does she do it??? its d same menu, d same ingredients?? how can she make each cooking so delicious?!?!

She was supposed to go back 2 jepara on wednesday, but we managed 2 keep her till this weekend.. haha.. what do u want2cook for the next meal auntie? just name it :D

aah..wher can i get a girl dat can cook like my aunt.... modern women no longer care for these things.. my uncles n aunts keep telling me: u need 2find a woman dat knows how 2cook.. she may work n dont hav d time 2cook on weekdays... but on weekends its mandatory :D
~yeah right! as if women like my aunt still exists.. :D
