I never knew that a day spent at home could be so fun and photo-worthy! I took many many pictures today!
So after Ppl went out, mama and I proceeded to cook pasta at 12+.. I realize I really want to cook, but my basics are pretty bad.. Ie, I don't know how to boil pasta properly? It's sure easy watching people do it on TV.. LOL..
We bought these ingredients from NTUC last night..
The pasta (500g) was $2.90, Campbell soup was $1.30, and canned corn was unbelievably cheap -- 87cents!! OMG..
Chunz's Creamy Pasta -- Recipe
(serves 2)
Ingredients you will need:
1. 1 bowl of pasta (duh!) -- We are using fusilli today..
2. Sliced sausage and ham
3. Corn
4. Canned soup (forgot to take picture)
Procedure:
1. Cook the pasta
2. Drain and leave to cool
3. Cook canned soup and other ingredients together, adding as much or as little water as you see fit. Finally, put the pasta in and toss well.
And tada!!!
Garnish with ham or anything else you like, like cheese or spices..
Cooking at home is super affordable! We used like only 1/3 of the whole box of pasta, so it's like $1.. And only a bit of the canned corn, probably like 30cents of it? And the canned soup we had a bit leftover so maybe used about $1.. And the hotdog/ham, at most 40cents in all!! So a meal for 2 people (we were actually FULL!) is $(1+0.30+1+0.40) = $2.70.. Each person pays less than $1.50! Tell me, where can you find such delicious pasta for less than $1.50!! Now I know why so many people are in the food business..
Let this post be an encouragement to me (and my darling owlet) whenever we get sian to cook in Gage!! Must.. Cook.. At.. Home.. Cheap.. Cheap.. Outside food is expensive!!!
And then I wanted to watch drama, but the computer was on for the whole day, so decided to let it rest for a bit.. So mama dug out this ancient antique!
Yes, it's a Nintendo.. Not a Wii, but Super Famicon! It's the Nintendo of the age of dinosaurs..
I surprised myself by successfully connecting it, and we started playing all the old familiar games!!
Like Flipull..
Super Mario Land..
Mickey's Chase
The Rainbow Hippo Adventure..
Took nice cloud pictures too.. Looks like opening scene of The Simpsons..
Another beautiful sunset today..
BenQ:
Pentax:
I was using my tripod.. Very fun, should do it more often with Pentax, cos BenQ lens are dusty.. But it's cool cos you can actually see the movements if you put all the pictures in a slideshow..
One last cloud picture.. Superb!!
And Ppl came home around 7pm and we had dinner.. Now blog finish gonna TV, then maybe drama!! =) Tomorrow no plans, maybe more gaming and drama? *_*
