Cooking : Beef Stroganoff Fettuccine

Nothing is an easier fix than a one-pot cooking recipe and THIS, I got from from Readers' Digest Healthy One Dish Cooking cook book. XD

But because the recipe required so many ingredients (which makes it authentic and very tweakable if you're experienced in the kitchen), there are things that you can skip....which, ahem, I did. I mean, I've always dealt with easy off-the-counter sauces and who knew what to do with ground paprika, cayenne pepper, ground this, ground that and Good Heavens, what do you DO with light sour cream?!

Suffice to say, I got a little adventurous and WANTED desperately for a one-dish cooking solution. Busy working people can't be beggars, all moms say.


So, what I did was include the list of stranger-to-me list of ingredients into my Keep App and after picking the kids up from school, headed over to the supermarket and just started grabbing and ticking things off the list. Because I was not parked properly (the kids were waiting for me in the car), this was the shortest ever supermarket trip I've ever had! HAHAHAHA!

Anyway, turns out, once you've cooked down the sour cream, it's sorta just...slightly sourish and creamy. Nothing to scream about, after all. See? I learn something new every single day.

But the great thing about this recipe is that once you have everything you need, it's a matter of dumping everything in one by one...and considering the combination of ingredients, it was DELICIOUS and AN ABSOLUTE HIT! It's pasta, you won't find my kids complaining.

Will I make it again? Absolute-fucking-ly.

Give it a shot if you are feeling a little bored with what you're used to cooking or are familiar with the ingredients.

I've listed the whole thing below but for the printable version of this Beef Stoganoff Fettuccine recipe, go to Cookpad app.

Stargazer - Stretch Those Sides

I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim

Project Wolf Hunting (2022) - Film Review

Less than 10 minutes into the movie, I was already wondering why am I watching this show, and in the dead of the night.  But I was thinking to myself, I've toughened up quite a bit when it comes to things like these... Happiness , Signal , Sweet Home , Alice in Borderland , Vagabond , City Hunter , Tunnel ...these crime and sci-fi dramas and films I endured just so that I can watch my favorite actors in action...they must have really built me some mental muscles.  Usually, I am the late kind because I want to see what everyone has to say about it...so that I am prepared.  I will just present you with reasons to watch and reasons NOT to. Here goes.  REASONS TO WATCH If you like Seo In Guk , Jung So Min , Jang Dong Yoon , Sung Dong Il , or maybe even Im Ju Hwan , you might want to endure this film.  Hint : If you're a fan of Jang Dong Yoon, maybe watch it.  It's interesting. I know we have a lot of post apocalyptic world films all over the place now but this is a little diffe
