Simple sweet dessert :)

I remember I made this recipe with my friend, Sarah when I was in Seattle. It's super quick and easy!

All you need:


 For this whipping cream, you whipped it with a mixer so it'll become thick.


Cut the strawberries into half....or just leave it like that :)


 Crunch the maringue...


You can replace the whipped cream with plain yoghurt too...

Okay, so you just put all of these stuff in layers. Whipped cream, strawberries, meringues, whippped cream, strawberries, maringues....and so on....simple right? :) And you can add a squirt of lemon too if you want to.  Or if you don't want it to be too thick, you can replace the whip cream to yoghurt. You already have the sweet taste from the meringues anyway...
Then you just eat all of them :)


Don't you just love the color? and the taste too of course hehehe....easy peasy! :)

My friend, Echa got another version here, you can try it too!

Obligato, pizzicato, Guy Lombardo, it's the craziest 
When you noodle with a doodlin' song

Little softer, Perry Como, even softer, pianissimo, 
Say you love me with a doodlin' song 
B-- C--D-- Ooh what you doodly do to me 

Say you love me, really love me 
Say you love me true -I love you 
Say you love me please believe me 
When you do -that makes two who 
Go together, bet your boodle 
like the apples in the strudel do 
when we Noodle with a doodlin' song 
What ya' call...a real ball! 

Say you love me, really love me
Say you love me true -I love you
Say you love me, please believe me
When you do, that makes two who

Doo doo de oo doo de oo doo de oo de oo

Doo doo de oo doo de oo doo de oo de oo

John Steinbeck on Falling in Love: A 1958 Letter

I don't know whay I just love this letter and would love to check the book. Got this from Brainpickings website.

New York

November 10, 1958


Dear Thom:


We had your letter this morning. I will answer it from my point of view and of course Elaine will from hers.


First—if you are in love—that’s a good thing—that’s about the best thing that can happen to anyone. Don’t let anyone make it small or light to you.


Second—There are several kinds of love. One is a selfish, mean, grasping, egotistical thing which uses love for self-importance. This is the ugly and crippling kind. The other is an outpouring of everything good in you—of kindness and consideration and respect—not only the social respect of manners but the greater respect which is recognition of another person as unique and valuable. The first kind can make you sick and small and weak but the second can release in you strength, and courage and goodness and even wisdom you didn’t know you had.


You say this is not puppy love. If you feel so deeply—of course it isn’t puppy love.


But I don’t think you were asking me what you feel. You know better than anyone. What you wanted me to help you with is what to do about it—and that I can tell you.


Glory in it for one thing and be very glad and grateful for it.


The object of love is the best and most beautiful. Try to live up to it.


If you love someone—there is no possible harm in saying so—only you must remember that some people are very shy and sometimes the saying must take that shyness into consideration.


Girls have a way of knowing or feeling what you feel, but they usually like to hear it also.


It sometimes happens that what you feel is not returned for one reason or another—but that does not make your feeling less valuable and good.


Lastly, I know your feeling because I have it and I’m glad you have it.


We will be glad to meet Susan. She will be very welcome. But Elaine will make all such arrangements because that is her province and she will be very glad to. She knows about love too and maybe she can give you more help than I can.


And don’t worry about losing. If it is right, it happens—The main thing is not to hurry. Nothing good gets away.



Love,


Fa

Simple Tomato sauce recipe (without beef/meat)

Wanna try this simple recipe? It's light because we don't use beef or meat. It's kinda nice if you serve it warm. With this rainy season, you need some comfort food for you and your kids hahaha...and it's healthy too :)


All you need:

Cloves garlic (or according to taste)
1 can tomato paste (for the color)
6 chopped tomatoes 
...and another 6 tomatoes you blend it until it is smooth...
(basicly how many tomatoes...it's up to you to taste)
Salt, pepper, sugar ( or according to taste)
 thymes
oregano leaves
Salads
Olive oil & balsamic oil
Spaghetti
Parmesan (to taste)


How to make:

Boiled the spaghetti first, with water and a bit of salt. Then while we're waiting for that, we can make the sauce. Sautee the garlic with olive oil, and then toss all the tomatoes and tomato paste. Then put salt, pepper, sugar, thymes, and oregano leaves. How many? it's up to you to taste. I like the smell and taste of herbs, so we put more of that :)

Everything is ready? here it is....


Serve it warm, with salad, balsamic and olive oil as the dressing...and top with parmesan :)
