I Love Food

The author is a food lover.
Message: I've grown up to love and appreciate the food laid out in front of me. My family members love food as much as I do. Its just a pity that my appetite is not as big as theirs. But I do manage to eat a lot when there's really really good food. I love all kinds of cuisine but have a soft spot for anything spicy. I cook for myself when I have the time. I bake for my family. And sometimes its perfect, sometimes its not. I'm not a professional chef, but I do love cooking. The aroma flowing out of the kitchen door is always the best, whereas the aroma coming out of the toilet door after a satisfying meal is not my favourite. There's so much more to know about me. Guess you're just going to have to find out. More about me.

Lamb Stew and 3-cheese mushroom pasta bake
Hmmm, weekends are the BEST. Especially when I don't stay in NTU... almost every weekend it seems. Hahaha. Love the atmosphere here (not NTU), the kitchen that I've gotten so used to moving around in. Awesome!!! I will make a pretty good housewife. Hahaha

I put this as my MSN nickname "Lamb Stew and 3-Cheese Mushroom Pasta Bake. Ohhh, don't you wish you can marry me" And I've never talked to SO many people at once. Shit! I should have print screened. Hahaha It was sooooo funny, first time I see people willingly say they'll marry me. Lol, but with a catch, for the food. LOL! Oh and Whei Yeap's "not really, I wish I can hire you instead" LOL!!!! (apparently I'm too high a price to marry... SUAK!)

Back to my cooking.

Ingredients for the 3-cheese mushroom pasta bake.
Spiral pasta, fresh milk, mushrooms, parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, mozarella cheese (THREE CHEESE WHAT!) and Campbell's Cream of Mushroom.
A DAMN EASY DISH! Should try if you have access to an oven.

Cook the pasta, drain the water. Add all the other ingredients, and stir well. Yes including the cheese. Reminder: do not sprinkle parmesan shaves at the top, if you want, mix it in well. If not when you bake it, it'll turn out to be like roasted pork skin. Hahaha HARD, but its nice lahhhh! Depends lah, your taste. My advice is the parmesan if you want to add it, add it in before you put in the oven and mix it well. And also add the parmesan once you remove from the oven and its hot. YUM!!!CHEEEESSSSEEEEE!

After that, put it in the oven at 200 degrees Celcius for about 20 minutes or until you see the cheese melt and the top layer is a dark yellow with slight brownish areas.

Food for four.

Hmmm YUMMY!!!! Eat it with the lamb stew. *grins*

Minta-maaf (ahhh its all Chris' fault... I'm so MALAY now! haha) sorry for the over-exposed picture. John said "use flash" and ta-dah! hahaha. Btw, all pictures using my K800i camera phone. My faithful camera went bonkers on me... Another post on that.

See what I mean by the parmesan cheese becoming like roasted pork skin. Hahaha but it was good k!! Yummmmmy!


Now for the lamb stew. Ahhh, can't beat dad's lah! But well I think this was just a trial run. Need to get dad's recipe. Online recipes SUCKS!!! Hahaha.

Carrot, celery and onions. Potatoes were missing. Lazy to carry ok!

I had to trim off the fat. YUCK!!!! That is SO much!!! Hahaha

I chose to use boneless lamb shoulder. Well duh! its a stew, you wouldn't want to have bones right!!!

Sorry, its so blur! hahaha. basically this one was not a fantastic dish, but it fills the tummy. oh and it goes sooo good with pasta. There's chicken broth (in the cup), a can of diced tomato (I shall omit this next time and just have spices... follow dad's recipe!), then the vegetables, a lemon (shall omit this too), some garlic and the lamb which has been lightly floured with flour, salt and pepper. I still dont think this is the lamb stew I'm looking for. But it's a meal. Hahaha

Looks like tomato soup right? Hahahaha NO ok! its the diced tomato that gives off this colour. And like I said, its perfect with pasta/spaghetti.


You let it simmer and it'll thicken and look like... Jun Yen says Curry! LOL!

Well that's all. Didn't have any food at all, until this. LOL! So worth it. I have a feeling I'll scurry into the kitchen at midnight for some cheese on crackers. Yummmmy! got so much cheese. Wahahha. Happyyyyy!

Toodles. Go drool and wish you can marry me. Hahaha you'll have an awesome father-in-law who cooks AWESOME dishes, be it chinese or western. Tata
