It has been a while - I won't deny that...but I have no idea who reads these posts anyways. I mean - who cares? (Pleasestaypleasestaypleasestay)
Anyhoo! My mum is overseas and dinner is always a question. "What are we going to have for dinner? Do we have ingredients? Did Mum leave us any food behind? No? She didn't? Alright, let's call Pizza Hut" - You know, that sort of thing. I would like to clarify though that I do cook well when a blue moon appears but two days ago - it didn't. Let me show you:

My sister had bought WHOLEMEAL spaghetti. Those brown ones? She asked me to cook dinner with that and so I did. I basically sauteed (<--fancy;) ) garlic, mushrooms and red bell pepper. Then, I added the cooked pasta into this mix. It was .. how do I say it.. .gross. The pasta itself was a tad hard although it was boiling for more than the stated time and wholemeal pasta cannot absorb flavour. I have no idea who invented this pasta and maybe I am just lashing on this pasta because it turned out really bad for me but I am just going to go ahead and blame it on the inventor of wholemeal pasta. It tastes gross, dude. Stahp.
ALRIGHT, FINE. The seasoning was off too! I didn't add enough salt but honestly nothing could have helped made that pasta better. My sister had an "ingenious" idea to add mayonnaise. Apparently, adding mayonnaise to pasta is a quick fix. It definitely did not help in this case unless you are a big fan of puke then, please by all means - go ahead.
Although it was just pasta, I felt like I have been having a series of unfortunate events (Lemony Snicket would understand) in the kitchen. I decided it was time for basics. Aglio Olio is supposed to be a simple recipe but you can screw it up easily.. like I did.
THUS, I made Oreo Cheesecakes and attempted Aglio Olio (with normal WHITE Linguine pasta) again! I will write about the Oreo Cheesecake tomorrow.. if they turn out good (I added a bit too much salt for that because my brain thinks salt is more essential in a dessert than a cooked dish). This time round I asked for my dear dear friend Seok Han for the recipe. I remembered eating at her place during Chinese New Year so I got the recipe from her. I don't know whether she minds me sharing the recipe so I probably won't but you can contact me personally or something. ( + I am just lazy to type it out :P )
I guess you can see what ingredients I used here from the pictures below. I did not have red chili so I used green but it's supposed to be red.

Today seems to be a "salty" day (I am definitely imagining crickets here) . The dish turned out to have a bit too much salt but it had an awesome flavour. I might have thought this was great because my previous pasta was like crap, but who the hell cares?
On a personal note, it has been 4 weeks since I have started internship and it is pretty okay so far. I like the other interns, the colleagues and my bosses...So far, it's been good and I am glad about that.
So...I am going to go and catch up on 2 Broke Girls - I love Kat Dennings. She is so gorgeous!
Toodles!
(Get it? Because I made noodles? So it's like.... toodles? No? Alright. Good Night)
