Another post for my dinner tonite....

So it's weekend and mom isn't home and so i decide to cook tonite... XD

well, i was out around lunch time as i've to stop by the post office to mail 3 parcels to HI, MI and IL (hahahaha..) anyway, so on the way back i was thinking about what to have for dinner (as i don't wanna climb 6 floors again!) hahaha...

so what to have?! well, i feel like trying another wine from the wine shop nearby, and considering i can cook 'italian based" only (wakakkaka), i decided to have some fettuccine with white sauce....

i got some canned soup (clam chowder), and the noodles - then go to the wine shop - and GEEZ, it won't open until 3 pm!??!? WHAT?! it was only 13:30! #$%^&*#$%^&*(

FINE, so i went to another park'n'shop to finish my shopping (the one near my place sucks - they don't even have the cream needed for the white sauce base!) I tried to pick up some wine too but all they have are either too dry or - just red wine @_@; i figure out anything i've at home is probably better than what they've there! XD

so ANYWAY, here's what i'd tonite:
  • Potatoes - just boiled, flavor with garlic salt, italian mixed herbs
  • Chicken filet - pan fried with olive oil, similar seasoning as potatoes, adding a bit more black pepper
  • Sweet peas - boiled
and added some cream sauce with white mushroom on top of it (not the "gold mushroom.. hm... i don't know what it call?!



oh, wait, that isn't quite yet done, this is the "done" version:


yep, turn out i didn't have any fettuccine - as i figure out the potato shall fill me up alright. (I was thinking to have mashed potatoes - but noah, too much work) wakakkaa...

turn out the taste is really okay ga ! hahahahaa.. just that it got a bit cold (i cooked too slowly gwa)... and it's a pity i didn't have any wine to go w/ the meal loh...

hahaha... time to sharpen my cookery skill again :D

home cooking, gal.
i am too lazy to cook in the past month. have u ever tried a freshly made (or home made pasta - by hand) ... they have different texture and 'flavor' ... u don't need to cook too long (compare to the box-ed machine-made pasta).

yeah give it a try. You do need a pasta press though.
