Greens, fruits and cheese salad

Love to mix salad with greens, fruits and cheese...and look at the color....lovely :)

You need grapes, green salads, arugula, sultanas/raisin, oregano herbs and feta cheese. As for the dressing, just mix olivev oil and balsamic vinegar. Nyumm! :)

Wonky Summer Pasta

Watched Jamie Oliver's 30 minutes show on TV and found this pasta recipe. It's nyummyyy...let me copy paste it for you...


You need:

• 2 egg yolks
• 5 ounces Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
• zest and juice of 2 lemons
• a small bunch of fresh basil
• 1 pound fresh linguini sheets, thawed if frozen (we used linguini instead of lasagne)

How to make:

Carefully separate 2 eggs and put the yolks into a big serving bowl. Put the whites into a small mixing bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and a good pinch of salt & pepper to the bowl of egg yolks. Grate the Parmesan in the processor and tip it into the bowl of egg yolks with the lemon zest and juice. Reserve some of the small basil leaves, then split the rest of the bunch into 2 halves. Pound one half in a pestle & mortar until you have a green paste, and roughly chop the other half. Add both to the bowl. Stir until everything is mixed together, then season with salt & pepper. Add the linguini to the pan of boiling water with a good pinch of salt. Stir, then put the lid on slightly askew and keep it at a hard boil for just 1 1/2 minutes. This pasta must be eaten ASAP to be enjoyed properly, so call everyone around the table now. I like to use tongs to move the pasta to the egg mixture, because the cooking water that comes with it is what really makes the sauce incredible. If you find that tricky, just drain the pasta in a colander, but save the water. Toss the pasta and sauce together quickly, then add 2 or 3 more spoonfuls of cooking water to make it silkier if needed. Fresh pasta is constantly sucking up water so make it slightly looser than it needs to be and it will be perfect at the table. Have a taste. Does it need more salt or Parmesan to balance the lemon juice? If so, adjust then sprinkle over the reserved basil leaves and grate over some extra Parmesan. Take to the table, quickly dress the salad, and eat right away.

*From the web: this recipe contains undercooked eggs and is not recommended for the elderly, the young, or anyone with a weakened immune system.

Go have a try :)

Lombok ♥

Went to Lombok for the first time last week for a getaway...4 days and 3 nights. Stayed at Novotel Lombok Selatan near Kuta. I'm in love with Novotel's view and Lombok Selatan's view,...the beaches...clean air & water, green hills, mountain and trees. And nice random cafe and bars on Kuta's road too. When I past Mataram and Senggigi, it was raining so hard. So I couldn't take good pictures. But yes, the view from Senggigi and The Monkey Forest was so beautiful too...it's so green. Here are some pics...
