CH seen flirting with MC and vice versa!
Yes people. It's sad. Although he already has someone else dear, CH was seen flirting with Ms. MC last February 21, 2008 in the afternoon. They were smiling suspiciously at each other.

Spiral Pasta ? in White Sauce
We don't know how to call it, because we aren't following any recipe. However this is what it looks like. Ok so just follow this simple recipe.Ingredients:
Pasta (any kind)
Cream of mushroom soup (Knorr instant mix will do)
Nestle Cream (250 mL)
Carrots
Ham
Quickmelt Cheese (as much as your hand can hold... lolzz)
Procedures:
1. Prepare the carrots. Slice into small cubes. Boil until soft.
2. Cook the pasta. Drain.
3. Put a pan over some heat, and mix the cream of mushroom, the ham, the boiled carrots and the quickmelt cheese. Heat until you think it's quite mixed.
4. Mix in the cooked pasta.
5. Voila, there you have it. You can also grate some cheddar cheese over it, and decorate with basil leaves.
We found out that Century Tuna (hot and spicy) is good with this. So here's an alternative procedure:
1. Follow steps one and two from previous procedures.
2. Slice some onion and garlic.
3. Open a can of hot and spicy Century Tuna, and put some of the oil into a pan (over some heat). Then, put in the onion and garlic.
4. Put in the tuna.
5. Then put in the rest of the ingredients (this time no more ham).
6. And there you go, you got some tuna carrot white sauce. We'll teach you the easy version of Serene's Tuna Carrot Spaghetti next time!

How to Make Sidewalk/Carbon Market style pancakes.

Despite the urge to diet, these past few days I have been longing to eat these pancakes sold on the streets. Glazed with margarine and sugar, they're attractively yellow, not to mention very cheap. Wherever you buy them, they always taste the same way. Is there some secret uniform recipe in making these waffle-pancakes?
Grace and I wanted to discover this secret. So we asked her aunt who used to make these. And we received an answer we didn't expect.
"Aye sus, harina ra man na, tubig, itlog, vanilla og coloring nga yellow."
Ngeek, is that it? So today we gathered these ingredients and experimented on the proportions (because Auntie Do unfortunately wasn't around today).
Here's what we came up with.
INGREDIENTS:
Flour
Egg
Water
Vanilla
Food Coloring (Optional)
1. First of all, sift the flour because there'll be some flour insects and larvae. But keep in mind that sidewalk vendors skip this step. We are quite sure that they are not using fresh flour (without insects) hence you're actually eating these disgusting things together with the pancake. Lol. No wonder it tastes so good. This must be the secret ingredient.
2. The proportions are 1:1:1, meaning, 1 cup flour, 1 cup water, and 1 egg. Combine these. We suggest putting more water, if you want to imitate the original sidewalk flavor. (Sidewalk vendors will put more water to save money.)
3. Blend white sugar, vanilla and food coloring into the mixture. We don't know how much you should put, just do it according to your taste.
4. Heat your cooking pan. Brush with oil. And then put in your mixture. 1/4 cup of mixture per pancake. Or however you like.
5. Brush the cooked pancake with margarine. And add sugar.
Here are the not so appetizing pictures.



Conclusion:
Really, we didn't have any sifter the time we made this, but I didn't like the idea of eating worms, so I took out the insects and larvae using a spoon. Here's the pic:
