Happy Summer

Hi..everyone, how are you doing ? Happy Summer to you. I'm so sorry didn't upload a new picture or recipe lately. Summer is here, I've been busy take care of the little one every day for her's summer camp , been busy sewing some summer clothes for her, for me , preparing for a summer trip in 2 more weeks :) but the other reason is weather just great. So, I choose to spend a lot of time for outdoor activity. Mostly after put my kid at school bus , back to home to taking care of my little veggie garden.. oh well, get tan more and more i think :)

Anyway, just want to share Rujak recipe one of Indonesian dish, rujak is a traditional fruit and vegetable salad dish commonly find in Asian Country. So many type of rujak in Indonesia. This time I made Rujak Serut or Shredded Rujak, which is all the fruits must to shredded into a roughly grated consistency. This is typical dessert every time I throw party at home during summer time.
