Pasta @ 4am

pasta-4am

I was up yesterday for like 40 hours right, and I woke up 2ish. And sometime around 4, I got hungry. I was about to cook my usual Pancit Canton since I was craving for noodles, and I was rummaging through my assortment of different flavors of those, wondering what I’d want to eat. I have Japanese Ramen, Yakisoba, Local pancit canton (payless), Korean Shin Ramyeun and Chinese chowmein and soup. All of these are instant.

And then I saw my linguini noodles that I bought about a month ago, so I thought, “Hey, I feel like eating noodles.”

So I opened the pack of noodles, got about one-forth of it, and got my instant Creamy Garlic pasta mix.

I filled some water in a pot and sat on one of the bar stools and waited for the water to boil.

I got bored and went back inside since I was getting eaten alive by mosquitoes. I went back to my room and started playing on facebook again then I started thinking that the amount of noodles I’m cooking might not be enough, that someone might come along and taste my 4am-pasta, so I got more noodles. Then I thought that the sauce might not be enough, but I didn’t have any Creamy Garlic so I got the Herb&Garlic mix.

My original plan was to make two separate sauces, but I ended up mixing them. Because I was getting bored and wanted to go inside as soon as possible and the noodles were taking their sweet time to cook.

But it was good. No cheese needed. It was wonderful.

Pop woke up in time to wash my mess XD

[Recipe] Ghetto Tiramisu Ref Cake

I made Ghetto Tiramisu. Well… it’s not really ghetto, and it’s not really tiramisu. It’s refrigerator cake.

Ingredients:

  • 10-20 pcs Broas or Lady Fingers
  • All-Purpose Cream
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • Melted Butter
  • Coffee
  • Graham Crackers
  • Chocolate or Cocoa Powder

Procedure:

  1. Mix the Butter, Condensed Milk, All-Purpose Cream, about 1:2:8 respectively (i.e. 1 cup melted butter, 2 cups condensed milk and 8 cups all-purpose cream). Set aside, preferably in the fridge.
  2. Make about a cup of coffee. A strong brew is highly recommended, to be made while cooling the butter-milk-cream mixture (BMC).
  3. In a container about 1.5 inches deep, lay the graham crackers neatly until it covers or almost covers the whole bottom.
  4. Take the BMC out and put some over the graham cracker layer until it is completely covered, about 1/8″ thick.
  5. Make a layer of Broas over the BMC. Make sure that it completely covers the BMC layer.
  6. Using a spoon or a soup spoon, generously wet the broas with coffee (no need to sweeten or put creamer), but make sure it’s not very soggy.
  7. Put a thin layer of BMC over the coffee’d broas and make sure all crooks and crannies are filled.
  8. Put another layer of Graham crackers and slightly press it down to make sure there are no air pockets inside.
  9. You may repeat steps 4 to 8 if you want, or if you have a deeper container, but one layer is really enough.
  10. Spread a thin layer of BMC over the topmost layer of Graham crackers.
  11. Dust the top with cocoa powder or chocolate, or even powdered instant coffee would do.
  12. Cover the container with cling wrap if it doesn’t have its own cover.
  13. Put it in the freezer for at least 8 hours. Put a “Do Not Touch This, It’s Mine -<insert your name here>” Label on it.
  14. Eat it out of the container.
  15. Do not share.

Meh… anyway, I used fresh ground coffee beans (I used a cute coffee grinder like a capresso and transfered the ground beans straight to the coffeemaker) and I made it really strong. The coffee blended well with the BMC, and although the coffee itself is strong, you can hardly taste it directly from the cake. It’s just like an aftertaste. The broas provides a nice texture, as if it’s really cake.

For the topping, I used chocolate syrup (NesQuik) for one and I think NesQuik powder would’ve been better.

No pictures because I didn’t get to see or eat much of it.

Where’d You Go?


Entity feat. misan - Where’d You Go

Matt’s been away too long. He doesn’t reply to my SMS and so far he’s only messaged me twice. I wonder if he’s just in some Michigan bed and breakfast place and not telling me. >_<

Anyway, I met this girl at Dine and Jam today. She’s a student at Sarah’s Mom’s Tagalog school and she’s studying… Tagalog. What else? When I asked her where she was from, she just said, “The States.” So I asked her which state she was from, and she said, “Michigan. No one knows where it is, that’s alright.”

Noodle Addiction Might Need Rehab Too

I’m going to go for a medical checkup tomorrow. I don’t really want to, but I have to. Pop told me that with my job, I could go for even twice a year. Not that I’m excited about it (the med checkup).

One of the tests are for drugs. Oh noes! What if they find out that I’m a druggie! And my drugs are noodles?! Would I have to go to a drug rehab center? lol.

And so I wouldn’t experience withdrawal, my noodles would be going from thrice a day to twice, to once, to every other day, to every two days, to once or twice a week, to once a month, to once every two months…then I’d …

probably be dead by then. XD

My Overstay at McDonald’s

The power died this afternoon and I panicked because I still needed to mark a crapload of papers. So I went to McDonald’s which is just like 150 limping steps away, and stayed there for like 4 hours. I just ordered the regular burger which I didn’t eat, large fries which I really didn’t care about but managed to eat 1/3 of it, a large coke which I drank within the first 20 minutes, and a chocolate fudge sundae which I drank.

When I went there, I only brought my bag and 3 document containers (1 file case, 1 expandable envelope organizer, and the document bag that came with my backpack), my Zen V Plus, my Pop’s cellphone because mine is broken, pens, post-it notes for marking, and a box of paper clips — Yes. I bought a box of paper clips just for this “occasion” of marking backlogged papers.

What’s amazing was I hardly noticed the time. I didn’t have a watch. Pop and I kept exchanging the SIM in his phone so I stopped bothering setting the time. To look at the time on my Zen, it had to be on, which it wasn’t.

A~ah.. is that a good thing or a bad thing? But really, it is important to have a watch in class so you can manage your time. I have one on my ID… my wristwatch’s strap got chewed on… *eyes Taba*

Well… A Rolex would be fine, though, I could care less about the brand. I want to buy one of those buy 1 take 1 watches for P180 only but I don’t think I can trust the quality of those. I might have to adjust the time every hour because it would be either too fast or too slow.

I stayed at the 2nd floor of the McDonald’s Anonas-Kamias branch and down across the street, there was a sign that says “Circumcision Package for Summer!” It’s only October!

:D lol.

Top 5 Addictions

My last post was about blogging addiction. I replied to Dawud Miracle’s post about having a timetable. But that really just applied to me during schooldays. So here I am, so early in the morning, blogging. Anyways, I was thinking, I don’t think I’m really that addicted to blogging, so I was surprised with my blogging addiction score. So I thought about what I’m really addicted to.

I now present my Top 5 list of addictions.

  1. Noodles
    For first time readers of this blog, or for those who don’t know me, I am a noodle addict. Noodle soup type, fried noodle type, instant (just add hot water), home made, or stove-cooked (semi-instant), pasta–I eat. I stay away from the crunchy noodle type though.I love noodles so much, that I explore not just local brands or common recipes, but even the foreign noodles aisle. Chinese, Taiwanese, Expired Taiwanese, Hong Kong…ese, Indonesian, Singaporean, Japanese, American (?), Korean, Thai, and… I Think that’s it. I like to taste different kinds even if they’re spicy, sweet, salty, weird, one time it was a little rubbery.

    I’ve tasted all local noodles as well. My favorite local pancit type is Payless Chilimansi XL (But I add some condiments as well, like chili flakes, Maggi Savor Calamansi, Old English Worcestershire sauce, Chili powder, Oyster sauce, Garlic Sauce, Oyster Garlic Sauce… and they go in rotation so they never taste the same!)One time, I accidentally put too much Chili Flakes… :) I was sent to hell and back, and I couldn’t feel my tongue for a couple of hours.

    Mi’s Favorite Things

    This is actually supposedly one of my creative shots for my grad pictures… But I didn’t have this one printed. Maybe I should have coz this totally represents me. Except I forgot to put on the headset that I brought.

  2. Daddi
    Enough said. I’m addicted to my Daddi. That’s what I call Matt.
  3. Music
    I am a music addict. I’m running out of space for my music. I would readily delete my anime and dramas and movies to give way to my music files. They’re mostly Japanese, a big chunk of Chinese, a small chunk of Korean… better stop here. :D

    somemusic.JPG

    Do I need to explain? Fine. At the lower portion, the number 23386 is the number of songs… 9wk 1d 10:54:14 is total playtime of all of those. The ones in the middle are drive spaces and stuff. In case you didn’t notice, I had the Anime and Game OSTs in another drive that was not designated for music. The songs I recorded are included in the list. They’re in I:\ but they’re less than 3GB.

  4. Internet
    This includes my computer, mIRC, blogging, surfing, image boards, downloading, anime, drama, and so on.See first pic. To the left is a computer monitor.
  5. Cute Stuff
    Cute people need cute stuff.

Panda! Need I say more?

The ones that didn’t make the list but are my current addictions: Lipton Red Tea, Dark Chocolate, Strawberry milk & Melon milk, Choco Flakes, clutter.


Now… What’s your Top 5 addictions? I tag…. uhh… Sarah, Sara, and Lori if they can =_=… maybe Yu?

DO IT TOO!!!

I gained weight

These past two weeks, I’ve eaten more noodles than I have in the past 3 months. It’s not like I have cookware in my room… only a microwave oven and microwavable bowls. Although, it WOULD be fun if I had an electric stove in my room… and maybe an oven (not a microwave oven). I could cook eggs on a non-stick pan … not use oil… or or bake a cake! yes! Carrot cake?

But as it is, my room is already cluttered and could hardly walk around. I have to move the computer table and coffee table around sometimes to get to places.

Papa said months ago that they’d get me a new bed…. Heh… No new bed still. Oh well.

Oh, back to gaining weight.

I’ve been eating oatmeal at home for three days now, though I eat rice when I’m at school. I don’t really want to come across as too weird. I’m already labeled as the not-so-good student-teacher… I don’t need the weirdo tagged on me as well.

I need to diet diet diet! Crash diet again? Actually, some of my clothes had gotten a little loose last week, and now it’s okay again. *sigh*

Noodles.

Student-teaching day 08

<—- This has been me for the past few days. I’m always falling asleep while working on my LP. I admit that it’s my fault that I haven’t been able to finish my LP before sleeping time, because I get bored and chat on IRC for a bit… and a little bit more. Sing a little for karaoke. Speaking of Karaoke, me and Mimi are almost done with our duet of tiaraway’s Without You… we’re planning to call our duo MiMi from now on.

Back to school stuff…

I have diarrhea today. I still went to school though. I’d like to have a principle that I’ll only miss class if I’m on my deathbed, but no sickness should stop me.
