The Sunday Times III: Sights, sounds, adventures & eats! My week in a flash ♥

September 9, 2012 by thejessicat

 

I know I skipped last weekend's edition of The Sunday Times!

Actually, don't ask me why. I don't know either.

 

I shall mull two weeks motherload of photos/updates for you, aight?

Better late than never teehee!

 

Spent some lonely cuddletimes with my favourite boy 

 

Gave in to the Instagram craze!

Several people have been bugging me to get on Instagram for a while now… and I thought, hey why not?

Follow me on Instagram at – thejessicat

 

Stormed my kitchen up to make dinner again! :D

Butter-Cereal Prawn & Black Pepper Scrambled Eggs with Tofu & Spinach on a Saturday night

 

Celebrated my country's Independence Day on the 31st August!

Full blogpost – here *click*

 

Got a tad nerdy & intellectual for several days

Been preparing for an article about contemporary Malaysian culture!

 

Off on an airplane to Penang Island courtesy of Heineken!

An epic mini-rave is underway 

 

Touched down in Penang to attend the Heineken Progressive Tour at 32 Mansion @ Penang

Full blogpost soon! 

 

I just had to justify myself LOL

 

Had English breakfast with mom in Dome Cafe @ Gurney Plaza, Penang!

I'd recommend the Eggs Benedict 

 

Day out in the city : Pavilion KL with buddies Jean-Baptiste & Nestor!

 

Took the cable car up to Genting Highlands with 'em magician boys after that!

J'ai passé un très bon moment  :D

 

Outfit of the day in Genting Highlands!

 

Watched Superstars of Magic 2 four times! Yup, FOUR TIMES.

Too good to only catch it once :D Made wonderful friends there, the cast & crew were an amazing bunch!

 

Learnt some magic under the tutorledge of two fabulous cardicians

You know who you both are. Much love & gratitude! 

 

Made a snack at home  Do I smell something healthy?

Fresh lettuce, red corals, wild rocket leaves, butter hearts, radicchio,

red oakleaves with watermelon chunks, oregano & thousand island!

 

Hit the gym again! Did my usual routine and a 5KM track-run :D

 

Had a bout of a rather dreadful emotional turmoil & lost my appetite for 4 days.

Stayed in bed. Refused to get out. Wallowed in depression. But yeah, tried to smile for the camera anyhow LOL

Song of the week 

 

 

Picked up the pieces, put on a smile and buried my misery six feet under

 

Question is : How can you forget someone who gave you so much to remember?

 

Just got back from a satisfying dinner! I recommend the Chicken & Lamb Mixed Royal Kebab with Saffron Rice

A cosy & VERY reasonably priced Middle Eastern place : Saffron Cafe & Restaurant in Damansara Perdana! 

 

 

Well, that's what's I've buzzing with during past fortnight, apart from the emotional rollercoaster ride.

It's rather personal, don't ask  But what didn't kill me, made me stronger!

 

… overcome the tears & attempt the next stride with a smile :D


This week, I am thankful for :

1) The immediate people around me 

2) The lessons in life which I learnt the hard way. 

 

Have a great seven days ahead dear readers 

 

Much love,

Jessicat

Cooking dinner for ze Aussie family! Cheesy Penne Pasta Potato Bake with Roast Chicken + Avocado n’ Cherry Tomato Salad

June 28, 2011 by thejessicat

 

Okay I know I owe you guys loads and loads of my cooking escapades!

If you are following me on Twitter, you would know that I've been cooking up heaps of stuff for lunches and dinner – often experimental and adventurous.

 

Cheesy Penne Pasta Potato Bake with Roast Chicken! 😀

 

Oh and, just so you know, I never follow recipes. So I have no idea how the "recipe" just popped up in my head!

Hmmm… perhaps all these years of eating or numerous food review sessions has subconsciously taught me a thing or two and honed my long-time repressed culinary instincts.

 

Anyway, that's what I made for dinner for my family in Sydney!

 

Feast up! Also, I will also show you a brief step-by-step on how to recreate the dishes.

Everything I cook is pretty damn easy, to me. If I can make them,  I don't see why you can't as well! ;)

 

Ingredients used – potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, capsicums.

Chop 'em up, dice 'em well, slice 'em well!

 

Before you cut up your veggies, you might want to pre-heat your oven first to prepare for roasting.

Set it to about 180 degrees Celcius.

 

Marinade a whole raw chicken with salt, black pepper and barbeque/mushroom sauce.

Stuff the chopped vegetables into various parts of the poor thing.

 

Yes. That's my hand inside its asshole.

 

Sprinkle more condiments and your favorite herbs. I used basil and rosemary.

Remember to line your roasting tray with aluminium foil or butter it!

 

Take it out of the oven after about 45 minutes or how well-cooked your chicken is INSIDE.

Lay it to cool and carve it to shreds.

 

Boil potatoes and mash them with salt, pepper, milk and butter

 

Boil the pasta of your choice. I chose curls and penne.

Stir fry onions, garlic, spring onions, mushrooms, veggies and that shredded roast chicken

with your fave pasta sauce

 

 

Put everything together in a casserole dish layer by layer.


Mix the pasta evenly with the sauce mixed with everything you've fried earlier, and layer with mashed potatoes and grated cheese. Then pop it in the oven again to bake for about 30 minutes on 150 degrees celcius.

You want your cheese to melt into the potatoes and the layers below it.

 

Yadda yadda yadda preparation time in total would be about 2 hours +

Okay, everyone is hungry… let's eat!

 

Salad for appetizers!

 

Mix cherry tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, avocados and lettuce with mayonnaise or mustard.

 

Have a good balanced diet!

Eat them together with the main meal. Are you hungry yet? 😀 😀

 

Ta-da! Portion for one.

We ended up getting 2nd, 3rd and 4th helpings!

 

I'm glad they loved it. Ahem. They better do 😛 😛

For it is cooked with love, by me

 

Whee I love to see a happy family enjoying my home-cooked dinner!

 

 

There was plenty to go around!

 

Not bad,. All gone! I've made another extra casserole dish… waiting for tomorrow though

Here's to hoping it will suffice for lunch tomorrow! 😀

 

Oh and, this also marks Episode One of my lil cookbook of homemade nomsters by me.

If you haven't tried making this, you probably should. Serves 5 and above 🙂 All the best!
