Fusion food anyone?

This is one pasta dish that I am very good at! Here I go tooting my own horn again :) I can whip it up in a jiffy provided I have some prawns or dory fish fillet. It's tomato base, fresh ones mind you, not those can stuff. The twist aka as fusion is it is a little spicy by way of adding some crispy prawn chilli paste (for Malaysians: udang kering and chilli kering). It comes in a bottle and you can get it easily in supermarkets, just a half teaspoon will do...can't take too spicy stuff.

Before it snowed Parmesan actually more like a blizzard ;)

Finally the RM9.90 shop or actually RM9.95 shop ( a variant I suppose) has arrived near me at Carrefour. I was so elated. All the goody stitching mags that I hear so much about on my board (MYS) is within reach. There was only ONE XS-mag there so far...they've just opened OK, give them a break. The mag man said they'll be getting more when I enquired, in 2-3 weeks time, oh my, oh my, couldn't contain my exitement! While waiting for the bus home, I ripped the plastic covering and was browsing it already. I bought SHAPE too, sure need some push to get a decent workout into my daily schedule. When you see the girls with slender arms and flat abs...and the gear they wear, I wanna be there too and I will too...soon... soon...


Saving the best for last..tadaaaa...

Ain't she a beauty? Niza posted a link to a very informative tutorial on how to make a pinkeep. I saved it up and well what do you know! Of course it took a lot of 'clever' planning ;) The design is a freebie by Passione Ricamo called the 'Romantic Stitcher's Set'. When I saw the Moss green 28ct Lugana that was on sale on Linda's Stitch N Such. I just knew that it would be perfect for a pinkeep. And the back?

Mona is shocked! LOL!! I did mention clever right? Aw bought the fabric from Mona and I bought the fabric from Aw. I just had to have a small piece of that fabric. Aw was so kind enough to spare 1/2 M. Thanks so much Aw. Ah...so that's my pinkeep adventure, quite interesting really and ironically not too difficult, once you get into the hang of it :)
