Recipes?

At first I tried to follow them but buying all those ingredients needed. It was a reason for me not to cook or bake a lot of things till I figured out you still can without all those ingredients, expensive costs and it doesn't taste worse at times even better.

Agree with you, if you follow all the ingredients it will cost a lot..cooking is like an experiment too 😊 without all the said ingredients we can still cook just have some adjustments or twisting the recipes a little.

You are welcome

If you would know the spices you would choose rice instead of pasta. These noodles taste different from spaghetti or the other noodle types that's why I do not like them that much but I like rice way more anyway. It's just this is faster and still in the cupboard.

What would you add to your pasta?

I add different ingredients to my pasta. Depending on what you want. They can be stir-fried vegetables. Vegetables previously dressed as a salad. Fried or stewed chicken. Creams with milk and nutmeg. Homemade red or white sauces. Whatever my son and I want at the moment. We always use curry, ginger, and turmeric.

My mother in law is it with plums out of a jar. I never liked it. Some eat it for breakfast with sugar on top.

My poor pasta version is with pesto, not as pair with cheese or pesto + cheese, and if I have a bit more to spend its minced meat and a sauce. There was a time we had leftover from it and fried it in butter and ate it on a slice of bread or made a salad out of it. Still, I am not crazy about it neither are my children. If the sauce is possible we go for spaghetti.

Thanks for sharing your tips. The vegetables might be good for trying or as a salad. 👍💕

I have soy sauce but in this case, it wouldn't have added anything because the package I used already added enough. I would have if I added omelet to it and had krupuk left. k

It's just an asian obsession that anything cannot have too much soy sauce 😂 specially when the food lacks in color like that

That would be too salty for me and too expensive.

So it's expensive there? Well it's not one of your country's main seasonings after all

It is. Not much is growing over here. Still

But it's so easy to grow soybeans

We grow potatoes and export them, we have vegetables and flowers in glass houses they needed to be heated, next to it a lot of grass for the many cows (milk/diaries and meat) and chickens (eggs, meat). All farms are huge. I believe the government wants to close down many because of the environment. Basically we import everything and most of what we grow and produce we export. For us our own products are way more expensive than what is imported. You think I could easily grow those beans here? Our season is short with 6 months winter and cold. I wish I had a greenhouse.

So it's basically like here where we export more of our agricultural and fishery derived produce. But the difference is the season because we have rain here instead of snow. I dislike it because everything gets far more expensive than it should be

As I understand it means more profit for the government but it feels a bit bitter we are drowning in milk, butter, potatoes, vegetables and flowers and meat but many can hardly afford to buy it.

We have rain too... Spring and Autumn 🙄

Weird huh own is more expensive. They keep the prices high so we cannot afford it but abroad it can be bought 50-90% cheaper. 🤔

Agreed, yet for the people here.we don't even get to experience those paid taxes enough. Kind of jealous of the countries we export to because of that huge price difference. It's quite frustrating too. specially when i want to try out so many new cuisines but then the price is just ridiculous

Let me know what you cooked. I love to see what others eat or how they prepare their meals. It feels as if not many cook these days.

It tasted better than it looks, way better which is what counts most for me. Thanks for stopping by. 💕

Thank you. Now I could use a bite. 🤔
