Pasta Madness

Let me just throw it out there right away and put a disclaimer for everyone...

I HAVE NO KITCHEN SKILLS!!!

LOL!

But when I do feel like cooking, pasta is my go to dishes. I thought how hard is it to throw in some

noodles to boiling water til it softens and throw in some "made up" sauce and done! Haha!

So lately I've been craving tons of pasta. And since I've been actively picking up produce weekly, I know what's in our refrigerator on top of my head that I can throw into my "made up pasta".

Here, I threw in some Fettuccine noodles and grilled chicken.

I sauteed chopped garlic, tomatoes and red bell pepper in an olive oil.

Mixed it in with tons of parmesan cheese, parsley & basil flakes, salt and pepper.

And last night I made some Fettucinne Alfredo and Italian Chicken Sausage,

tons of Parmesan Cheese and to add some kick of spice, I added some

Pepper Flakes.

When I told my brother that I'm gonna make myself some pasta, he asked for me to add some more for the household which I was not confident about. My tastebuds are way different from my parents and brother and I was afraid that they wouldn't like it because it was too salty. But let's be honest here, I was just too damn scared that they won't like it or make fun of what I come up with . To my surprise, my brother really liked it who I think is my huge food critic at home since he is really good with cooking from learning just couple of years ago. I got the approval from my as well and she even said that I'm the Pasta specialist of the house. LOL!!! I was hesitant to ask my dad how it tasted coz of 2 things, he will not like it and make fun of it and I'll be pissed off coz he knows how not to appreciate and not scared to say it. But BAM! He said it was "OK" (trust me OK is better than nothing or insult when it comes to my dad, so I'll take it!). He then asked why? I said "I made it!". And then he said "I thought it was picked up or delivered".

WHAAAAT?!? Well, I'll take that as a compliment. LOL!!!

Well there goes my pasta adventure from the past week. I'm gonna look for actual recipes next time and actually follow it instead of me experementing. Of course I'd still throw in a lil but of my cooking style here and there but I just want to see if I have a future with these pasta thing. LOL!

CIAO!

Sunday cooking

Three friends, same hangover from Saturday night and hungry...

That's who we are last night. Sean, Tyra and I was debating last night if we should order Italian delivery or cook. The thing is we were to tired and hang over from Saturday night that we didn;t even do anything all day but lay down and sleep. We got left overs from the party for lunch but didn't wanna eat the same thing for dinner. 

We found the motivation to get up at 8pm finally and went to the store to get ingredients for our Olive Garden Fettuccine Alfredo Recipe I found online. But of course, being the big gurls that we are, we also got Tomato Basil Bisque which is my favorite ever and added some Garlic bread which seals the deal. I had a bottle of Merlot at home that went perfectly with the whole meal. 

Not gonna lie, Sean did most of the cooking while I was burried with all the dishes that needed to be done and Tyra prepared the soup and garlic bread. Everything turned out to be great and surprisingly we barely even ate. The Alfredo was barely touched, the same way with the soup and bread. Everything was heavinly filling. I'm looking forward for eating left overs tonight though... All on my own!!!

Current knick-knacks:

• I had a super fun spontaneous weekend with my friends like usual.

• What made it extra amazing is I had a 3 nights and 3 days with Boo. It's been a long time since we spent a long weekend together. It made me realize more how much I miss him.

• Went to a friends party and it amazes me how guys testosterone really comes out when they are intoxicated. People never learn how to put their alcohol in their tummy and not their heads.

• I'm totally addicted with some Youtuber's and I love how they all get together and see videos and pictures online. They are all in Florida for Playlist live. Can't wait for more internet findings.

• It's Monday and I can't even express how happy my heart is from the weekend! Mahal Kita!
