What the world needs to know...

“I didn’t plan on falling in love with you, and I doubt if you planned on falling in love with me.

 But once we met, it was clear that neither of us could control what was happening to us. 

We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. 

For me, love like that has happened only once and that’s why every minute

 we spent together has been seared in my memory.

 I’ll never forget a single moment of it.”

The Purple Yummyness

Assalamualaikum,

Here I am, taking a break from studying music for my finals!who knew 20th century musics are so smiliar to each other and hard to differentiate=/ GAZILLION THINGS to memorize!YEAY.(not)
Food always cheer me up,so lets talk about food instead shall we?
I posted about rattatoille in the previous post and from making them,i had an extra aubergine/eggplant which i initially wanted to dip in a batter and fry.Seriously i don't like frying for the fact that i know how much oil i use.yikes.So i decided to make something healthier instead.I've always wanted to make roasted aubergine but don't really know what to eat it with.From google,i found a 'Roasted Aubergine Pasta' recipe so i made that instead.SUPER YUM!

Roasted Aubergine Pasta with Cottage Cheese

2 cups of cooked pasta of your choice
1 aubergine
1 medium onion
4 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup of shredded cottage cheese
4 tablespoon of lemon juice
4 tablespoon of olive oil
A handful of basil

For seasoning: Pepper,All Italian dried herbs and chilli flakes.

Cook pasta according to its packaging
Chop the aubergine,onion,garlic and basil leaves into small pieces and put them in an oven-safe dish.
Drizzle them with about 2 tablespoon of olive juice and the season them.
Put them in the oven that is preheated to 350 degree Fahrenheit for about 25 minutes.
After 25 minutes or so, add more olive oil and lemon juice if it is too dry.
Before serving, garnish it with LOADS of cheese.=)

Spread the evenly

Roasted goodness

Remy and Emil

Assalamualaikum!

Don't you just love the name Emil?I love it!If i have a pet cat,i'll call it Emil.I named my lappy Emil too.But this Emil cant run to me when I call it,to bulky to be cuddled and does not respond to any of my "koochee cooo"s..*pout*
Anyways,I was supoosed to be studiying for my quiz the other day but of course the 'easily-distracted' me went recipe hunting and blog reading.=) I came across this really simple ratatouille sandwich that looks super yum and suddenly i was craving for it although i have never ever tasted ratatouille in my life.So i went to PA Supermarche and bought some fresh veggies.
I realized that,i always need something to munch on while i study which is not healthy for the fact that i rarely exercise now.So i opt for fruits instead and reduce my unneeded food intakes.On the quest of healthy diet, ratatouille sandwich seemed like a good idea.This is where i got the recipe from http://stovetopdancing.blogspot.com/2011/02/ratatouille-sandwich.html ,but i changed some of the ingredients ,so here it is..

Ratatouille Sandwich

1 onion
4 cloves of garlic
1 medium aubergine
2 bell peppers(red and yellow for color!)
1 tomato (big ones or 2 small ones)
2 tablespoon of tomato paste
2 tablespoon of milk
1/2 cup of cheese
2 tablespoon of hot sauce
a handful of basil
a tablespoon of dried oregano
pepper and salt to taste
olive oil

Fresh veggies,onion and garlic

1. Chop everything and everybody into small pieces and shred the cheese.
2. In a saucepan,sautee the onion and garlic with olive oil until its is slightly brownish or caramelized.
3. Add the bell peppers and aubergine and wait for it to soften.
4. After its is slightly mushy,add the tomato and everything else and stir.

Thats it!We're done!=)

Tadaaaa!

Oh lala!

I love mine on a piece of bread.


You can add moreeee cheese if you like or omit the milk and shredded cheese and use mascarpone instead.I LOVE THE SMELL OF BASIL!They have planted basil up for sale and was thinking of buying them.Then again,i rarely cook anything with basil in it.So next time,i'll try planting something that is worth it,like oregano perhaps,its easy to plant them and they require very minimal care.Plus they smell good and make food taste A LEVEL YUMMIER!

We had a picnic in front of Leacock yesterday and it was fun,fun,fun! It was finally 7 degrees yesterday and i was super excited to see the sun again!Sun bathing in our coats is quite fun I must say.When you have great company around,things doesn't really matter.=)

Teehee

Aren't they just adorable?

Till then,Salut,
