Light Greys and Lime Greens

Wellll.....

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but my parents are renewing their marriage vows this year... in fact, it's this Friday.

Sooo.... my dilemma for the moment?? Weight gain. It's a real and dangerous threat as i had my dress made about 1 1/2 month ago and guess what? It fit perfectly during a fitting but now I have put so much on weight that the dress is snug around my midriff... Tis a very very very real issue as I have to perform during the ceremony and singing would only make it tighter and therefore issuing the threat of my zip busting or something like that...

Shoot....

Serves me right for not taking note of my weight gain and indulging in comfort food from the moment I touched down in B-Town.

p.s. my dress is light grey with a lime green sash :D

Pasta with a Bacon Mushroom Cream Sauce

Well, during a practice session with the peeps performing at my parent's Renewal of Vows, I was ordered by my mum to cook dinner while she went out with my dad.

So, at home with 7 other peeps to feed and a shortage of variety of ingredients, I was relieved when I found bacon and mushrooms in the fridge. As a bonus, there was also thick cream (altho not enough so I had to improvise and used milk too...)

Ingredients:

Pasta

Bacon (smoked preferably)

Oyster Mushrooms

Bunapi-Shimeji (White Beech Mushrooms)

Garlic

Thick Cream

Milk

Black Pepper

Oil (tiny bit)

Method:

1- Heat up oil and cook bacon. While the bacon juices are emerging, throw in chopped garlic and cook until soft, not brown. Put on a pot of water to boil.

2- Add Oyster Mushrooms and White Beech Mushrooms and cook until soft. Meanwhile, cook pasta in pot of water.

3- Season bacon and mushrooms with black pepper. Add about 1/4 cup of milk and cook until it reduces. Add another 1/4 cup of milk and reduce some more. Add about 3 tbsps of thick cream to the sauce.

4- When pasta is cooked, drain away the water and mix into the cream sauce. Take off the heat and serve.

Bon appetit peeps ;)

Back in B-Town

I've been back in B-Town for about a month or so now and somehow or rather I've managed to stay busy and therefore, sane :D

Losing weight before I came back to B-Town for my parent's renewal of vows seemed like a good idea that was quite easily achieved when I was in Van-City... but since arriving in B-Town, I've been eating non-stop... the things that I have been deprived of for 9 months were just too hard to resist T.T
