Baked Macaroni

ABBEY: 
Basta kapamilya ng kahit anong pasta gusto ko. :) Except for seafood pasta of course. When Wilma told me that she'll cook baked mac on my birthday, I was ecstatic. My birthday will have a new twist kasi hindi na spaghetti ang handa. What I cooked is my version of buffalo wings. This baked mac will only cost you less than 10SGD. And can serve up to 7 pax. Sarap talaga, Maybe a lasagna on Christmas :)


Procedure:
    Cook the pasta with for about 3 minutes (if you want al dente), drain.
    Saute the gralic and onions. Add the ground pork and cook until it is brown. 
    Pour in the tomato paste paste, let it simmer for 3 mins. Then, add the cheese and butter. Let it simmer up to 10 mins. Then add the strips of bell pepper.
    Pour the pasta in the baking dish and on top of it the sauce. Bake it in yhe microwave oven for 20 minutes or up to the cheese melts.
    Serve it hot.

Rubik's Cube


Abbey:
We had this kind of puzzle since we were kids. We tried to solve it then but no luck, even by memorizing our moves. We only managed to solve one side. When I entered college, my classmate thought me how to solve it. Voila, I finished it with no sweat. Memorize only few algorithms and you're good to go. Now I have 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, Pyraminx, the "Transformer" Rubik's cube (Rubik's Cube Icon), Rubik's revolution, Rubik's twist. Latest one is my 3x3 Wooden Rubik's cube. Fastest time is 2 minutes flat. I hope I can do better than that.



WILL: We have this cube when I was about 8 years old. Pero I don't have the idea to solve it, so I rather have my time to my barbies. hehe.
      Now I know how to solve the 3x3, taught by Abbey. It's fun to play this cube lalo n yung revolution. Kaya pala nakalagay na it can be played by people from 5 to 105 of age, kasi you will just push the button that will lit. hehehe. 
     Addiction of Abbey ;)

Donut Factory



Abbey:
Wilma told me she wants donuts. I thought of some plan to deliver Dunkin Donuts to her at her office after my night shift. Unfortunately, the shop opens at 9am. My body wont be able to wait until then, I'm about to collapse after my shifts :( One time as we stroll in Suntec City Mall, she crave for donuts again. Good thing there's Donut Factory. We were surprised because they're not serving donuts only but also pasta and baked rice, Donut Factory Cafe. So instead of sanck only, we had our dinner there. We ordered pesto, sweet and sour fish fillet, coffee and soda. Ang sarap ng fish fillet nila :) Wilma also approved that. Ang downside nga lang ay yung glazed doughnut. The dough melts in your mouth but it lacks the taste of sweetness like Krispy Kreme. Talagang bawal maghanap ng wala sa SG. Hehe. Na-compensate naman ng fillet at pesto nila :)






WILL: Well, I am craving for sweets, as in very sweet. I am looking for the taste of Krispy Kreme Glazed here thats the main reason why we headed to The Donut Factory.
      About their donut? Not that so sweet, the texture is quite nice. Their pesto pasta, so good even their fish fillet. 
      It's a good experience but I am still looking here in a sweet, sweet, sweet donut with a good cup of brewed coffee. :)
