aglio alio?
yesterday was a good day. we played, we ate and d was mighty sore after that. ;). gonna upload the few photos that i have later. cuz i'm too lazy to do it now.
i tried to cook spaghetti aglio olio just now. er just that i didnt really have the recipe for it, and neither did i have spaghetti. i had linguine instead. haha, but all the same, all the same. i randomly chopped some garlic and onions. stir fry with virgin olive oil, why virgin, i have no idea. maybe some kind soul will englighten me. i doubt what i did even vaguely resembles a recipe of aglio olio but nevermind!
so i'm reading recipes online, now. turns out u need to add some salt and pepper. which is, perhaps why mine tasted so bland (i added pasta sauce in the end cuz it was too bland so my aglio alio became tomato-based pasta).
i'm gonna be at home for the next week at so. so i figured i could learn some cooking. after all, i've got plenty, plenty pasta at home.
and in the meantime, i'm saving alot of money not going out! i saved $40!
alright, it's probably very little for most people out there, but with my meagre pocket money and notoriously free-spending habits, it's certainly a mean feat! and saving money is actually quite addictive. i dont see the need to buy more earrings or that abercrombie top. oh yes, and i've decided, after my exams, i'm gonna buy materials from spotlight to make earrings and pretty bracelets! i used to make those beaded ones when i was 5 or something. but i think i lost of them already.
urgh, the recipes look really daunting.

whats D?? i've been following your blog, so im very curious what D might be.. i hope D is a person like Dharma or Dinesh and not a body part...
spaghetti aglio olio is very easy to make:
just chop lots of garlic, fry in olive oil til light brown (careful not to burn them) add extras like mushrooms or bacon, season with salt n pepper n dried chili..
then add cooked pasta n mix well while still in pan.. if it gets too try add some pasta water
then voila! mama's recipe is the best!
oh, and it's virgin cos the oil is from the first press.. so u can imagine the olives losing their combined virginity.. "ah!! oh my gawd!! paining PAINING!!"
haha. thanks, :)
D is a person.
that was me btw, haha. forgot to add my name.
then why is d sore? dont mind me being such a nosy digger.. i mean fella... but your blog is turning into my very own bollywood serial, so i'd like to know the ending to each episode!
