Basically, I spent the past week whipping up meals and baking treats in my kitchen. Somehow, being in the kitchen and making something makes me happy. I always dream of having a nice, cozy house in the future, with a bright kitchen, custom made and designed. It'll have to be nearly perfect, because I'd be spending a lot of my time in the kitchen. (: Dreaming is good.
Back to reality. Besides cooking and baking last week, I was busy writing personal statements and essays, preparing materials for class, preparing for tutoring sessions, and fighting off itchiness from insect bites. Hydrocortizone really helped to stop the itch, and my all natural aloe-vera plant also did wonders to the swelling.
Halloween is just around the corner and I have made plans with a couple of friends for a pumpkin carving night some time next week! I'm excited!
1. Farfalle with sausage franks and mushroom, in a creamy alfredo sauce, topped with crispy fried shrimp
2. Oatmeal milo cookies with coconut chocolate ganache
3. Breakfast puffs with tiny pieces of potatoes
4. Drunken shrimp
5. Asparagus with Italian seasoning
