How to make fried chicken

Yummy, yummy........

Hi, today i want share how to make delicious fried chicken. i want to tell how to make fried chicken because it's tasty and it can be eaten both freshly cooked or cold as a picnic food or cold-plate snack. Fried chicken is so popular that it's often part of the menu of many fast food and restaurant chains and indeed, of all meats, it is only chicken that tends to be fried on a regular basis. Properly done, fried chicken is totally delectable, which explains why it's a taste few are willing to give up!
Making fried chicken at home has a number of benefits. You control the quality of the ingredients, meaning that you can use the freshest possible and you can opt for organic chicken if you wish. Also, you can vary the ingredients to taste. And it's highly likely that everyone will want to eat the chicken at the family table, so it's a sure-fire winner for mealtime.

So now, i will share  the way and the ingredients how to make Fried chicken.

Original fried chicken:

• 1 egg
• 3 cups milk
• 1 cup flour
• 3 cup fine breadcrumbs
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp garlic powder (not salt)
• 1/2 tsp onion powder (not salt)
• 1 tsp paprika
• 4 tsp black pepper
• 6-8 cups Crisco cooking oil
• 2 fryer, or young frying chicken, cut in pieces
• (optional) Add a teaspoon/ two of red chili powder for a spicy flavor
• 1 tsp of crushed onions

This is a deep-fried method of preparing the chicken.

1) Prepare the batter by placing eggs and milk into one bowl.

2) Combine the flour, breadcrumbs and seasonings into another bowl.

3) Dip each chicken piece, first, into the flour, then the batter, and again into the flour. Place the coated pieces on a plate.
4) Add oil to a large, deep fryer. The fryer should be suitable for frying chicken. Heat on the stove at a medium setting. Watch to see that it does not get too hot and "spit". To test to see if the oil is hot, put your hands under the water faucet then flick the water from your fingers over the oil. If it sizzles, you know the oil is hot enough to add the chicken to fry.

5 )Remove from pan after the chicken is a golden brown color.

6) Place on paper towels, on the counter top.

7) Serve. Serve with coleslaw, salad or steamed vegetables of choice.

 

 

 

If you're going on a picnic, allow the fried chicken to cool down and pack in its own container, along

 with other food items ready for the outing. :)

 

 

 

Thinking Skills

Hi... :)

Before this i tell you all about the five thinking aabilities, higher order thinking requires and reasoning critical thinking. Now i want share about components of critical thinking process and more details about thinking skills.

Component of critical thinking process divided by three. There are :

1) Affective Components
Affective components include valuing truth about self-interest, accepting change, empathizing, welcoming divergent views, tolerating ambiguity and recognizing personal biases.

2) Cognitive Components
Cognitive component more about thinking independently, defining problems accurately, analyzing data for value and content, employing a variety of thinking processes in problem solving. synthesizing resisting overgeneralization and employing reflective thinking.

3) Behavioral Components
Behavioral components inculde delaying judgement until adequate is available, employing precise terms, distinguish facts from opinions, gathering data, encouraging critical dialogue, listening actively and modifying judgement in the light of new info.

Critical thinking skills have interpretion where it is ability to categorize, determine significance and clarify meaning. beside that have analysis where it is ability to examine ideas, identify and analyze argument. Evaluation is ability to assess claims and arguments and inference is querying evidence, weighing alternatives and drawing conclusions. Critical thiniking skills also include explanation where it is presenting well-reasoning arguments to support a judgement or a point of view and self-regulation is self-examination and self-correction.

Becoming a critical thinker need avoid emotional reasoning, ask pertinent question, don't jump to conclusions, be open minded, internalize intellectual standards, consider the source, acknowledge what you don't know and strive for clear understanding, evaluate evidence judiciously, be skeptical and define terms clearly.

Thinking Skills

Hi guys

Today, i learn about thinking skills. There are five thinking abilities.

1) Memory : to recall something that has been learned
2) Cognition : To recognize and pick out bits and pieces of information
3) Evaluation : To judge the importance of something through careful study
4) Convergent Thinking : To work through related data to reach a logical conclusion
5) Divergent Thinking : To work through apparently unrelated data to reach a solution to a problem

Beside that, Higher order thinking requires :

1) Incubation : reflecting thoughtfully on knowledge you have to create new knowledge
2) Nuanced judgment : being sensitive to slight variations in meaning and interpretion
3) Rhetoric : using words effectively to communicate the results of higher order thinking
4) Discovering Structure : creating order out of apparent confusion and disorder.

Critical Thinking is the ability to distinguish between verifiable facts and value claims, determine the credibility of a source of information, determine the accuracy of a factual statement, distinguish between warranted and unwarranted reasons or conclusions, distinguish between relevent or irrelevant facts. In addiction, to detect bias, identfiy stated and implied assumptions, identify ambiguous or equivocal claims, reasons, or argument and lastly to recognise logical inconsistencies in an argument.

Next blog, i will continue with others inforamation in thinking skills...:)

Managing Knowledge and Data

 

 

 

Today i learn something new about managing Data in class information system. What i learn, in IT applicatios require data. The data should be of high quality, meaning they should be accurate, complete, timely, consistent, accessible, relevant, and concise.

 

In managing data, there are common challenges where :

• Data are scattere throughout organizations and are collected by many individuals using various methods and devices. These data are frequently stored in numerous servers and locations and in different computing systems, databases, formats, and human and computer language.
• Data come from multiple sources.
• Information systems that support particular business process impose unique requirements on data, which results in repetition and conflicts across an organization.

One strategy for implementing data governance is mata data. Master data management provides companies with the ability to store, maintain, exchange, and synchronize a consistent, accurate, and timely 'single version of the truth' for the company's core master data. Master data management consistently manages data gathered from across an organization, data from multiple sources, and data across business processes in an organization.

 

Organizations can use knowledge management to develop best practices, the most effective aand efficient ways of doing things, and to make these practices readily available to a wide range of employees. Other benefits of knowledge management include improved customer service, more efficient product development, and improved employee morale and retention.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Young Generation (Generation Y)

Assalamualaikum....

Hi Guys....

Today i'm interested with topic generation Y because i'm also include in geration Y. Lets see what actually generation Y.. :)

Generation Y,also known as the Millennial Generation, is the demographic cohort following Generation X. There are not precise dates for when Generation Y starts and ends.Generation Y beginning birts dates ranging from the later 1970's or the early 1980's to the early 2000s

Generation Y grew up with technology and rely on it to perform their jobs better. Armed with BlackBerrys, laptops, cellphones and other gadgets, Generation Y is plugged-in 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This generation prefers to communicate through e-mail and text messaging rather than face-to-face contact and prefers webinars and online technology to traditional lecture-based presentations.

With the advancement of technology, luxury and a palette of options available, the younger generation are naturally practical. They are optimistic and ambitious and wishes to explore all possible horizons.

Science has made life very easy for the generation today. With the advancement of technology and ease of living, generation to come will be even more pratical. So, as the young generation we should be grateful with what we have now...:)
       
               
       
  

LOVE

What is love???? evrybody know what is love rights??? and i'm sure you all falling in love with someone that you like.. heheheheh ... actually, love is not only person you like, but love can also for family, friends and to people in the worlds.  only who know what actually the love can feel that feelings..

Let we see what the meaning of love. Regarding to wikipedia, love is an emotion of a strong affection and personal attachment. Love is also said to be virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion and affection.

In English, love refers to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from pleasure to interpersonal attraction. Love may refer specifically to the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love, to the sexual loves of eros, to the emotional closeness of familial love, to the platonic love that defines friendship, or to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love, or to a concept of love that encompasses all of those feelings.


                               


Love is inherently free. It cannot be bought, sold, or traded. You cannot make someone love you, nor can you prevent it, for any amount of money. Love cannot be imprisoned nor can it be legislated. Love is not a substance, not a commodity, nor even a marketable power source. Love has no territory, no borders, no quantifiable mass or energy output. So, we must take care and love the person who we love until the end..peace..:)

Image

Hi guys....

Morning and have a nice day...:))

Topic today is about image. What the meaning of image based on your mind????
For to all, image is one of most important asset. The set of qualities and characteristics that represent perceptions of you as judged  by others is your image.

Do you realize that people throughout the day are observing you and making judgement about you?? they notice your dress, facial expression, hair and hands, attitude, body language, and overall conduct.

Image is very important because the image much more than the clothes we wear.  Our self-image strongly held, essentially determine what we become. So we must take care about image in our life. :))

All about Friends and Friendship

Everyone in the world have friends, same with me i have friends and i'm really love them so much. For me friendship is a relationship that involves trust, understanding, communication, and honesty. Being able to speak your heart out to your friends and spend good time with them is an important part of this relationship. Beside that,being a good friend is about being reliable, kind- hearted and thoughtful.

How to be a good friends ??? i'm always think to be a good friends to my friends and for me to be a good friends i must to be honest, be real, be loyal, be respectful, share, watch out my friends, pitch in for friends during times of crisis, give thoughtful advice when asked, listen, step back and give my friends space, don't be selfish, be forgiving when things go wrong in friendship and be trustworthy.

Believe me, true friends are more than just good friends. They will support you even when they are in problem, without expecting anything in return. Love your friends until the end. Peace.. :))

A complete set of gamelan consist of two sets of different instruments of Slendro and Pelog, such as:

1. Kendang (double ended drum beaten by hands)
   It is a leading instrument. The pengendang (drumer) is the conductor of the gamelan orchestra. There are five (5) different sizes of kendang from 20 cm to 45 cm.
   
2. Saron
   A glockenspiel with bronze bar struck with wooden mallet. There are three kinds; Saron Barung, Saron Peking, Saron Demung.

7. Gambang
   Wooden bars laid over a wooden frame struck with two sticks of supple buffalo horn, ending with a small, round, padded disc.
8. Gong
   Each slendro and pelog set had three gongs. Two big gongs (Gong Ageng) and one gong Suwukan about 90 cm, made from bronze, suspended on a wooden frame. It marks the end of the largest phrase of the melody.
   
9. Kempul
   Smaller gongs, marks a smaller phrase. In each slendro and pelog set, there are 6 (six) or 10 (ten) kempuls.
10. Kenong
    Smaller gongs lay horizontally on crossed cord, inside a wooden frame. A complete set of kenong in each slendro and pelog consist of 10 (ten) kenongs.

16. Keprak and Kepyak
    Needed for gamelan to accompany dances.
17. Bedug
    It is a very big drum.
    

The bars of the gamelan instruments can be made either from iron, copper or bronze. The bronze bars are the best choice. All the gamelan players are sitting cross-legged on a mat during a performance.
In a gamelan music concert or karawitan performance, the Kendang player or pengendang conducts the Tempo, while the melody is led by the bonang player The gamelan orchestra includes some singers (Pesinden), female as well as male.   For me after i know what is it gamelan, i want learn more about it because it is very interesting. i hope i can do and play much better all intruments related with gamelan.  :)

How to Become a good Student

hi guys,

Everyone especially students have dream to be a good student. same with me, be a good student will make my parents proud with me. Today, i got a guide to becoming a good student and i want to share to all my friends.

1. Attitude: Basically, a good student possesses the ability and willingness to learn new subjects even if the subjects are not interesting.
2. Academic skills: Acquiring academic skills is the most important quality of a good student. Ability to read comprehensively, to write effectively, to speak fluently, and to communicate clearly are the key areas in which a student must be proficient. Having a good command in all these areas will make a student to shine in the class.
3. Ability: A good student has the ability to apply the results of his or her learning in to a creative way and achieve the goals.
4. Perceptiveness: How well a student can interpret and perceive meanings from a conversation greatly determines the quality of a student. A good student always perceives right meaning from conversations, but an average student often misunderstands the original thoughts of a speaker or writer and derives a wrong conclusion.
5. Self-Discipline: Discipline in managing the time is an important factor that every good student must possess. Often delaying the tasks, such as writing assignments, reading text books, etc, may negatively impact the ability of a student to achieve the goals.
6. Understanding rather than memorizing concepts: Resolving any doubts by asking about them on the spot is always a good thing. Several surveys suggest students must understand the concepts rather than just memorize them. The memorized facts and theories will stay in student's memory until they leave school, college, or university. Once out of school, the students will totally forget the core concepts that they had learnt. Therefore, it is essential for a good student to understand the concepts.

We can achieve things by setting targets for ourselves and working towards them. everyone know where nobody not perfect in the world but we have strengths and weaknesses that we have to accept. For me, as long as you try hard every day, you will be successful. Sometimes success is just going to bed at night knowing you did the very best you could do.

I hope this guide can help me and you all to becoming a good student.

No matter who you are, if you try hard enough you can succeed! ......:)
