Langsung menganga liat buku-buku impor harganya yang murah-murah, kirain lagi ada promo...pas ditanya ke penjaganya, katanya emang dari distributornya segitu harganya. Wooowww.... gak mau keabisan dong ya...mumpungggg!!!!! berhubung tanggalnya dah setengah tuwirr, ya sutralah, ambil satu dulu...bulan depan disatroni lagi..^^. Girangggg bukan main, dapet buku impor The Complete Book Of Baking setebal 250 halaman hanya dengan harga 55 ribu... *beneran murah gak sih??? xixixii. Dan langsung dioprek-oprek buat dicobain. Kebetulan punya stock labu kuning sisa bikin Pumpkin Pie kemaren ...sebelum keburu basi....buru-buru diolah biar gak mubazir. Dan yang dipilih adalah Pumpkin Muffin, sekalian besok buat sarapan dan bekal snack abang kesekolah.
