had some big plans, like revamping up my room, run the usual bank and post office errands, wash my car, dad's and mom's car, go to the salon, get a meni pedi, print out a few CVs and cover letters for some prospective employees, dust open my PhD proposal and revamp that one too.
sounds a lot?
yeap.
so its no surprise i only managed two of the above items!
the rest of the time i was in front of the idiot box watching Kimora Lee and AFC and The Nanny hehe :p
BUT, i did make a very important decision today. something that will have an impact on my life indefinetely. let me try to work on it first before i let it out of the bag ok. cos i know if i start telling people, then i tend to wanna know what you think and then i tend to start swaying towards other's opinion and suggestions, dah la im the kind that i do care what other people think so nanti last2 in the end, my initial goal and idea got lost and i didnt accomplish anything :p
i went to my best friend's lovely new condo on sunday. she has starlights in her living room! super gorgeous and sangat mesmerizing..sigh. i cant wait for my house to complete! alas, i still have a long way to go, it will be at least another two years before its finished.
i end my post today with the recipe for tuna pasta, special request from someone :p
you need;
1 packet of penne pasta
1 can of cream of mushroom soup (i like Campbell, but any brand ok)
1 can of sweet corn
1 or 2 can of tuna flakes in olive oil
how to cook;
1. cook the pasta as usual, make sure you salt the water generously
2. once the pasta is al dente, drain it and put it back into the same pot
3. on low fire, decant the mushroom soup, and add about half a can of the water into the pasta (you can also use milk or cream if you want it to be creamier, but for me water is just nice)
4. once the pasta and the cream of mushroom is thoroughly mixed, decant the tuna (make sure you remove the olive oil first!) and the sweet corn (rinse also)
5. up to you how much tuna and sweet corn u like, i like lots of both, as the tuna tastes yummy with pasta and the corn adds a sweetness and crunchiness :p
6. once its all mixed, add salt and pepper accordingly. usually u hardly need any salt but just taste.
7. serve hot :)
picture is courtesy google image and http://noobchef.wordpress.com (as per printed) as i do not have any pictures taken when i made it yesterday, but this is as close as to how it looks, minus the sweet corns :pi love this dish, learned it masa study kat UK dulu. its so easy to make and it takes like 10 minutes only! makan while panas2 on a cold chilly day in front of the tv hehe :p and when yr having friends over and there's not much time to cook something big, this is a great treat as its filling and simply yummilicious! :)

oit, sangat tak berdisiplin punya budak, tak work your plan!! tapi i baca your plan tu pun macam...wow!! cita2 tinggi melangit ha ha last2 kimora dengan nanny jugak
niQ,
How can you tell the penne pasta is al dente? If it's a spaghetti my Mexican friend taught me to toss it onto the kitchen wall. If it sticks, it's al dente, alright. Cool, eh?! But I'm not sure the law of physics will make it work for penne pasta too.
By the way, thank you for the recipe. I might give it a try though I might substitute tuna with sardines.
art: haha lesson learned, next time im on leave, i only plan to do max 3 things and to put in kimora and nanny into the plan as well :p
jumper: yikes, if i do that i'll have a wall full of sticky pasta hehe :p usually i just poke one and taste it, not too hard, not too soft, once u cook it often enough, u can tell by the colour :) do try it and let me know how it turns out k :p
