Di Kediri banyak tempat depot ataupun warung soto yang enak, mulai yang kelas ekonomi sampai yang kelas bisnis. Ada soto ayam ada juga soto daging. Untuk soto ayam kelas ekonomi yang paling ngetop itu soto ayam tamanan, tamanan adalah nama tempat dimana tempat tersebut merupakan sentra eh..kok sentra sih…kumpulan (apa bedanya….) pedagang soto ayam kaki lima. Rasanya sesuai lidah dan harganya sesuai kantong. Permangkok soto cuma Rp. 3.000,- itu udah cukup bikin kenyang, tapi kalo yang doyan makan bisa nambah sampai 3 mangkok juga. Menu tambahannya yang disediakan, sate telur puyuh dan ayam bakar. Tapi jangan salah sangka dulu soal ayam bakar, ayam bakar disitu bukan ayam bakar yang dimakan dengan sambel en lalap itu. Ayam bakar di tamanan adalah ayam yang sudah direbus dengan kuah soto kemudian dibakar dengan bumbu kecap. Rata-rata pengunjung pasti memesan ayam bakar sebagai teman makan soto.

Rada aneh juga ya kedengerannya, menu ini saya temui saat makan malam di Hotel Lotus Garden, Kediri. Ada beragam menu sup, mulai sup ayam, sup daging, atau yang terkenal sup buntut. Tapi sup buntut yang satu ini super beda, benar-benar inovasi yang cukup kreatif, mungkin hanya akan ditemui di kediri.

Gimana cara buatnya? tenang aja saya telah berhasil mendapatkan resepnya.

• Buntut sapi 1 kg
• Jahe 2 ons
• Laos 2 ons
• Pala 1 biji
• Kayu manis 1 potong
• Garam 2 sdk teh
• Sasa 2 sdk makan
• Merica 1/2 sdk teh

Masukan buntut sapi selama 15 menit
Kemudian angkat dan diamkan

Masukkan buntut sapi bersama dengan jahe, laos, pala kayu manis, garam, penyedap rasa dan merica
Semua bahan tersebut direbus selama 2 jam
Angkat, lalu buang jahe, laos dan kayu manis.

Untuk kuah:
tambahkan wortel dan kentang, sehingga sup tidak hanya berisi daging.

Penyajian :
Nasi putih dan buntut sapi diletakkan di piring yang sudah ada irisan timun dan tomat. Sedangkan kuahnya dipisahkan di mangkok. Buntut sapinya memang terlihat digoreng. Padahal ini hanya digodok. Buntut sapi goreng yang terlihat keras, saat dicicipi justru terasa lunak.

Bila dilihat dari bahannya, hmmmm sup ini bisa berguna juga untuk memulihkan stamina yang loyo.
Nah selamat menikmati...... kalo males bikin, dateng aja ke kota tahu kediri.

Facebook Dating Ad Hooks Up

At times, Facebook ads can be clever and useful, for example, seeing that some of your friends are fans of a brand that’s advertising on your homepage. Other times, they can seem somewhat odd and irrelevant, if not incredibly ironic. However, the ad that one user recently came across is simply amusing, and perhaps a reminder to check in on a rather clandestine Facebook privacy setting.

The ad, first reported on the EndofWeb blog, is yet another Facebook promo for a dating website. The funny part is that the “hot single” featured in the ad is actually the user’s wife, who documented the story on her own blog. It’s worth pointing out that ads that utilize your friends aren’t new on Facebook, but it was only a matter of time until the site’s use of excess ad inventory on cheesy dating ads combined with this practice lead to such a bizarre combination.

As DownloadSquad points out, opting yourself out of appearing in these ads is a mere half dozen clicks away:

“All you have to do to prevent this is sign in to Facebook and click through to (get ready) -> Settings -> Privacy -> News Feed and Wall -> Facebook Ads -> Appearance in Facebook Ads and click “no one.”

The story brings me back to my usual feeling towards Facebook ads, which is that they clearly have the capability to do interesting and even useful things with advertising, but continue to turn to lowest common denominator ads much of the time. Meanwhile, by including you in ads by default, even though they’re only visible to friends, it seems like they’re taking a lot of liberties with your data and personal preferences.

On the whole, it probably generates extra clicks, but enough to make up for the cheapening of the brand that this type of situation creates? Tough to say.

Verizon FiOS TV Integrates Facebook and Twitter

We’ve seen what a huge impact Facebook and Twitter integration can have on Web video broadcasts, ranging from the Obama inauguration, to the Michael Jackson memorial, to The Jonas Brothers. Now, those same types of features are moving to the living room, allowing you to share your TV viewing experience with your friends on social networking sites.

Verizon FiOS TV is adding Facebook and Twitter integration, as well as several other social media options, to its service. Similar to the integrations we’ve seen on the Web, this allows you to update your status on either network when watching a given show or event and also see what your friends or the larger social media community is saying about it.

In addition to this functionality, Verizon FiOS customers will be able access what are essentially big screen, simplified versions of Twitter and Facebook. For example, with Twitter, you can search and view currently hot topics, and with Facebook, you can view friend’s photos. There are also new features for browsing user-generated videos from Blip ().tv, Daily Motion, and Veoh.

While this seems like a natural direction for TV to move in, the biggest competitor would seem to be mobile – after all, you can do everything that Verizon FiOS is offering from various Twitter () and Facebook () mobile apps. That said, the big screen is, well, big, and having Facebook and Twitter integrated alongside the programming could certainly create the feeling of more interactivity, as it’s done on the Web.

To see a quick demo of the FiOS integration, check out the video below:

How Much Money are Facebook and MySpace

As we wrote yesterday, spending on social media marketing is expected to rise at better than 30 percent annually over the next five years. But how much money are the top two social networks – Facebook () and MySpace () – making now, and how will that shift over the next few years as Facebook continues to extend its traffic lead and intensifies its ad sales? eMarketer is out today with some projections.

The research firm projects that MySpace revenue in the US will total $495 million this year, down 15 percent from last year but still significantly ahead of the $230 million in domestic revenue they expect Facebook to generate. Worldwide, eMarketer expects MySpace to pull in $520 million in total sales, with the internationally stronger Facebook seeing $300 million. The firm projects that Facebook will surpass MySpace in revenue by 2011.

While the decline in MySpace revenue is to be expected – traffic at the site has been falling and they’ve been forced to make significant staffing cuts recently – the Facebook numbers seem to be an underestimate based on other reports we’ve been hearing. Most recently, Facebook board member Marc Andreessen told Reuters that he expects the social network to generate at least $500 million in revenue this year, and “billions” within the next few years.

Not to mention, with traffic now more than double that of MySpace in the US, it’s hard to imagine that Facebook is only making half the revenue. In any event, with neither company publicly sharing their sales numbers, it will remain a subject of much speculation for now. But it would certainly seem that the momentum is in Facebook’s favor.

Facebook Simplifies Event Planning

Facebook has become a significant player in event planning. After all, why use a service like Evite when all of your friends are already on Facebook?

Planning an event on Facebook is already fairly easy – you just click on “Events” from the applications menu bar and create one. But the social network has decided to make it even easier, letting you create an event directly from the publisher (aka, the “what’s on your mind” box).

To do so, Facebook explains, ”after clicking on the “Events” icon, you can enter information about what the event is and where and when you want to meet. You can invite friends directly from the Feed story that’s created either on your Profile or your News Feed. Just select the “Invite guests” link to share the event with friends.”

Like other Facebook updates, this is presumably being rolled out gradually, so you might not see it yet (I don’t), but Facebook shows what it looks like:

Moving events to the publisher makes sense, and it seems Facebook hopes users start using the app more casually – you’ll notice the example they offer is “lunch,” as opposed to the more formal invites you might be used to receiving.

Keep in mind, however, that the publisher is set to become increasingly complicated, as Facebook is currently testing its new per-update privacy options that will be rolled out to all users in coming weeks. Too much clutter could lead to users simply ignoring the features and continuing to just post status updates – user behavior that Facebook () is clearly hoping to change.
