First attempt to cook pasta !!

Spaghetti with mince meat/zucchini/tomato sauce

Step1: wait till the water is boiling before placing the spaghetti gently into the wok. add salt.


Step2: make sure all the ingredients are ready
For this dish, mince meat (thawing out), Prego sauce and slices of zucchini

Step3: add some oil, fry a clove of garlic. when it browns up nicely, put the zucchini in first as it takes time for the pieces to soften.. add some water. once the zucchini is soft, put the mince meat in the middle and jus chop it up w the spatula

once the meat is cooked, add 4 table spoons of Prego sauce (or watever amount you want to eat)

add a dash of olive oil for taste

Step4: while the sauce is simmering, scoop up the spaghetti into a sieve and run it thru tap water so it won't stick. put it in the plate and toss with olive oil

Step5: pour sauce over spag and voila!

Step6: NOM NOM NOM !

Conclusion: pretty decent dish.. lol.. the sauce was salty enough so I didn't add in extra salt

Hmm.. spaghetti a bit too plumped up.. too long in boiling water. Gotta be careful about timing in future. Mince meat with zucchini serving just right for 1 person.

Well.. a healthy(ier) dinner for once. When parents are not home lol.. can't keep relying on downstairs zhi-char stall !

Attempt: Success!! :)

*the cleaning up sucks

My brand new shoes for 2011 !!!

Few years ago, I was raving about my black leather Converse that set me back $99 and well, it's showing much wear and tear now. The sides are splitting and the soles are a little flat at the heel area but thankfully no holes!

As much as I love my Converse, it's not suitable for work (it looks VERY odd with work pants) and it's still rather teen-ish per say. The uh.. rubber white front and sides.. make it look too casual and the cutting makes my feet look bigger too. So I wanted to upgrade my sneakers look and have them more lady-like and mature/classy.

I have my eyes on Geox for some time but they are very pricey shoes. My boots are a similar brand (bought in Italy) and I know how comfy they can be. And I made up my mind that despite whatever price tag, I will get a Geox for 2011..

Lo and behold! I went out with my cuzzies today and we went Paragon for dessert. It's late and there were hardly anybody shopping. I spotted Geox and thought about popping in just to see the models. Was not intending to buy yet.

AND I saw this pair of beauty and my heart was stolen. The best part? The $148 price tag had a 50% off and they had my size! I wore it, sashayed a little and whipped out my credit card. Ended up paying $75 only and brought this gorgeous baby back.

These shoes are made for walking (and work) !! *coo*

I LOVE MY GEOX! ♥

*ok cny shopping done*
