Bubur Ketan Hitam dan Kacang Ijo (Mung Bean and Glutinous Rice Sweet Porridge)

Hello Friends!

I am still staying at home today. My cough is still crazy but at least no fever. Somehow being sick feels like a blessing in disguise? Yesterday I was sick, stayed home, temperature was -51 C. Today, still sick, still at home, temperature is warming up but we are still at -41 C. Still crazy cold ? I don’t know whether I can go back to work tomorrow or not, this cough and congested chest is still meh. Big meh.

My youngest will turn 9 on Christmas eve. Not long to go. He so cannot wait for it. I planned to take a day off on the 23 so that I can bake a cake for him. Unfortunately now that I have been home for 2 days so far, I don’t think that would work. Poor baby.

Anyhoo.

I have a sweet dessert from Indonesia that you can either serve it warm or serve it chilled, topped with crushed ice. Yummo!
