i made dinner & lunch!

pasta carbonara
(olive oil, garlic, egg yolk, salt, black pepper, thyme leaves, rocket leaves, portobello mushrooms, bacon strips, linguine, parmesan cheese)

met my baybee ytd at tampines mall with intentions of making our very own dinner & have some good kitchen fun in e process. shopped for groceries at the ntuc, n i tell you we were some noobs, we couldnt find lots of the stuff so we were practically combing the whole place haha. bill came up to a total of $47 bucks. slightly on the expensive side. but its a good side haha. anxiously made our way home. n i got down n dirty while she went to take a shower first (she was in charge of the salad, in other words she needed less time to prepare haha thus explains the time to bathe). everything went pretty smooth actually, loved the smell of the olive oil, garlic & thyme leaves on the frying pan with the portobello mushrooms & bacons strips, but then came the problem.. oh did i mention.. i wanted to make pasta carbonara. n like i predicted, there were problems with the sauce. apparently i used too little cream haha so we had a pretty blend & sauceless carbonara almost kinda like a pan-fried aglio olio. we finished everything though, cus it had an important ingredient; love. good ol' love. aww*

photos frm the dinner soon.

unsatisfied with my cooking last night, n being tt perfectionist tt i may be, gave it a second shot just hours ago. n voila! it turned out way better & really hit the spot haha. it feels good to make something else besides maggie mee or campbells haha. might try my luck on some other dishes soon!
