I get tired from trying to be normal.
Hello Beautifuls. (:
So there's a picture of my sleepy Chihuahua, Hazel!
Anyway, here comes the pictures of the Shrimp Linguine that my boyfriend and I had tried to cook yesterday! (:
The recipe that I found came from, of course, my
favourite cooking site:
www.allrecipes.com
It has every recipe there, ranging from cookies to full course meals!
As for the recipe that I've used, the link for it is over
here. (:
So, let's start off with the cooking! (:
I
substituted the Linguine for Angel Hair instead, since I preferred pasta that's lighter. (:
There's my boyfriend preparing to boil the pasta! (Look at those musclessss.) (;
We added olive oil and salt to the water, to prevent the pasta from sticking to one another.
During the 8 minutes of boiling the pasta, we then proceeded to mince the garlic.
Cutest bowl ever, yes? Hehe.
But that aside, it's very important for pasta to have garlic. It gives off a lot of flavor and fragrance, and its a
must have to make the cream sauce sweet!
After mincing the garlic, the pasta was then drained and left to cool.
That's my boyfriend frying the garlic with butter. Olive oil can be used too, but butter seemed like a better choice that day.
Then, there comes the cream sauce that we were gonna use! I must say that I think that the sauce was the best to experiment with, because its the most important part of the dish!
Yes that's me!
Looks good, doesn't it? (;
Anddddddd, we're done!
It was a pretty good try for the first time we've experimented with cream-based pasta, as I've only done Aglio Olios before. I've decided to experiment with more cream-based pasta, and hopefully, I'll come back to post on my successes! (:
Would also like to thank my boyfriend for helping me in the kitchen, because I'm not a very organized person.
Oops.
And that's all for yesterday!
As for
today, the day was spent with my boyfriend, as usual. (:
Firstly, I went to collect my long awaited hair dye from the post office!
Ta-daaah, La Riche Directions Apricot!
I can't wait to try it, as the first dye that I had bought before showed me great results! (:
For those that are interested in dyeing their hair too, this is where I order my dyes from,
here! The shop owner is very friendly, and they are definitely scam-free. (:
In addition, they give points too! (;
And before I forget, I'd be doing a
tutorial on how to use the hair dye. Do stay tuned!
So let's go back to today, shall we?
After collecting my hair dye, we then proceeded to Plaza Sing to catch a movie!
That's right,
Premium Rush.
It's a movie packed with a lot of action, and a handful of comedy. The plot was quite well-crafted, but it definitely isn't a show for people that don't appreciate action. Two thirds of the movie are screened with a person riding on a bike, so it'd probably appeal to those that love chases.
It's a 3.5/5, still a good watch. (:
Boyfriend and I ordered Couple Rings from Couple Lab too! I'm still excited over them, and I'm not ready to show you guys our rings yet, so I'll probably delay it till the next post, hehe. :>
Thank you to my boyfriend for the great day, Many loves! ^^
Oh, I've signed up for NuffNang! Do
click on it for me pretty please? It's the Ad on the left side of my site! (: It'd mean a lot, thank you!
STAY TUNED FOR MY TUTORIAL!
That's all loveliesss. (:
Love,
Natalie Ishot
