Olio.

Oh it's already june.
It's only like 9th of June and I'm already *quite* broke.
Thanks to Girls' Generation because I won't blame them haha!
Their kinda like my source of happiness.
Even their fanfics are so nice to read although all of them are revolving around themselves.
Of course I can differentiate between fiction and reality duhhhh.

But I think I'm gonna be quite broke for July and August as well.
I ordered another version of Paparazzi and I booked a GG photobook.
Then I added on another big pink GG cd. It's probably bigger than the size of the marble tile I use at home.
Imagine a BIG pink block of CD.

The price is... really a bomb.
Ha.Ha.

And recently I'm really hooked on this iPhone card game.
It's like my life depended on it for that few hours.
I'm gonna die if this goes on but I think I don't mind.

Oh!
I created my own version of Olio pasta.
And I think it's really quite nice.
But I think all the recipe needs is just fresh herbs because I don't have them at home.
I'm gonna share it here :D
It's really simple and quick.


Ingredients:
Spaghetti for 1
2-3 Tbs Olive Oil (Depending on the amount of pasta)
2 Tbs Minced Garlic
1 Ts Chopped Italian Parsley (Optional, I didn't really put them)
2-3 Thinly Sliced Dried Red Chilli (Remove the seeds)
2-3 Whole white pepper.
THIS









Some cheese flakes.

Steps:
1. Boil the pasta in salted water until al-dente. Drain.
2. Heat pan and put in olive oil. Put in the peppers once the oil is hot enough. *Peppers will pop so be careful.*
3. Once the peppers are popping, put to medium heat and stir in the dried chillies. Fry until fragrant for about 3-4 minutes then drop to low heat.
4. Pop the minced garlic in and keep stirring. Make sure the garlic does not turn brown. *Or it's gonna taste bitter.* Continuously stirring for about 3-4 minutes as well. Stir in the parsley and just mix thoroughly. Remove the whole peppers afterwards. *You don't wanna bite on them.*
5. Take the drained spaghetti and mix with sauce in the pan. Coat the spaghetti with the sauce. Remove from pan.
6. Top with some cheese and serve.

Personally I think this kinda worked for me!
And for people who can't take spiciness, it's not spicy at all! Even eating the chilli itself doesn't give anyone fire.
But if you wanna, you can just use less dried chilli then :D Or just don't bite the chillies.
Of course anyone can alter the recipe according to their own preference!

Oh I shared something today!
So I should reward myself with this:

Brighter than gems eye-smiling mushroom!

      

I think I will run out of nice eye-smiling pictures soon.
But still,
Happy olio :D
*Can't wait for end of June*
