Soba with tomato sauceand tuna

This is my second attempt at using soba in place of pasta. The texture is almost fitting, i think. I used to make my own pasta sauce but you know, fast food is the key so I used canned tomato paste or stew. Not bad at all and much much cheaper than those pasta sauce you get off the shelf.
Added:

• Baby spinach, raw
  
• sauteed garlic and tiny dried japanese shrimps
• tuna (usually, I'll skip it but hubs needs meat)
  
• lots of chinese parsley
• sprinkling of the yummy truffle salt
• green tea soba (but any will do)
• dashes of balsamic vinegar ( I like my sauce a little tart)
• Of course, EVOO

Another easy and fast food for brunch or dinner...

New Toy

I've always wanted to try my hands on the toy cameras like lomo and holgas but never got down to it. Got this from Ms Bo and the sleepy carebear's from hub (cos I've never had 1 when I was a kid)! I went trigger-happy but still has a few frames left. So more patience until I develop them. I also loaded up the vintage Yashica electro. Hopefully it will work as I can't get any batteries to power the shutter (no more mercury batteries!). So fast speed film for both and no indoor shoots.

Stole projects

Got these 2 stoles from Kyoto last year and I've started on the black floral maybe about 6 months ago. Now it's still in progress. All that I needed to do is to make those little tassels at the 2 ends by taking out the weave up to about 10 cm and hem the edges. Easy peasy? hahaha, I'm not even halfway through. I just took it out of the storage box and worked on it for all of 5 mins and gave up :P Maybe it's something to do when I'm relaxing in Phuket a few months later...

Skinny Pizza

We're fans of fast comfort food but trying not to succumb to fast food or expensive pizzas. So I created my own version with Ikea's soft bread and whatever I can find in the fridge:

• Ham
• Mini portobello mushrooms
• Anchovies
• capers
• onions
• Ikea soft bread (turns to a biscuity crisp once you heat up in the oven and burns easily too, so be careful!)
• dashes of EVOO
  

We're lucky to have any mushrooms left in the fridge as we cook and gobble any up as soon as they're back from the mart. Hobbits, we are!
