Going Vegan?

Did you receive this in your mailbox?
I received this booklet...and it totally amused me...
Photobucket


Photobucket
Animal killing....
just because human wants to eat them... =(



Photobucket
They electrify the poor piggies and slaughter them...
cut the cow's throat and let it bleed....
hang the chickens up by their legs and lower them down into electric water...



Photobucket

They have this free DVD in the booklet...
but I don't dare to look at it...i know it will be gross...

I've been wanting to go meat free for such a long time...
it's such a shame that my determination was not strong enough...

I've started to go vegan 2 days ago...
but I still take those diary products...

but I find that sometimes it's hard to avoid as my family takes meat...
so I will still drink the soup which contains meat...
but..not munch on the meat...
I mean i tried my best to save them by not eating them..
when i move over to my new house, it will be a good start for me! =)

It's been a long time...

It's been a long time since I've updated about piano!
HAHA..so took some pics during her Poo Poo session~~

there's this puppet show going on downstairs...
Photobucket


Photobucket
The face is kind of scary~~ HAHA!
We specially brought Piano to watch!

Photobucket
but don't think she is interested....



Photobucket
Look at that...
she is holding her own poo poo bag.... =)



Photobucket
and she can dump it into the rubbish bin!
I can't wait to get her into our new house..most probably in June...
I can't wait any longer!
She was attacked by a dog about 2 months ago...while Father in law brought her down to pee poo...
I was so upset..but there's nothing that I can do...

and last week...while she was poo-ing...
A CAT ATTACKED HER!!!!!
lucky she was not hurt.. =(

I hope such things dont happen anymore....
My heart aches~~

The Unique 手工福州面线

This is a really special 面线
Photobucket
福州 style...
my sister's bf's family bought this from malaysia as their dialect is 福州...



Photobucket
Have you ever seen this b4?
not me...
its crispy and dry...breaks easily....



I used this to cook for our lunch~~
Photobucket
here some of the ingredients I've found in the fridge...
long beans, shitake mushrooms, fishballs....
I know it's very weird to use long beans...
but I don't have any other veg, and I can't do without veg...



so it took about 10 mins to cook a meal for 3~~
Photobucket
and I used the overnight ABC soup for my soup base....



Photobucket
Yummy!
HAHA!
my brother said that it's the same as kway zap..
but i don't think so..i feel that the texture is more like super thin mee hun gui!
we still have abit left...
and I'm going to cook it again!
maybe the dry style!? =)

Photobucket

i found these bugs in my japanese grain too!!
ARGH!!

Udon in an Italian Way!

Have u tried mixing udon and spaghetti's sauce b4?
I was trying to look for some spaghetti or pasta, but i couldn't find it~~
So..i had this idea to use my udon! =)
that's a meal for one!
udon in italian way 1
very simple ingredients that you'll need...no oil involved~!
Button mushrooms, a tomato and Udon...
as for seasoning..just some black pepper and a packet of Ketchup!


My way of doing it:
1. Cut the tomato into to half, one for dicing and the other for blending which will be the sauce
2. Slice the button mushrooms.
3. Cook the udon in boiling water, meanwhile you can heat up the blended tomato sauce. Just add in the mushrooms & diced tomatoes.
4. Toss udon into the mushroom sauce. Sprinkle black pepper.
5. Let it simmer for just a minute, remember not to overcook the mushrooms and udon.
6. Off the stove fire & mix the packet of ketchup in. If you feel that it's not salty enough, a pinch of salt can be sprinkled into the sauce. If you want more flavour & aroma, just sprinkle some herbs like oregano..
7. Lastly, serve.... !


And here u go!
2
A meal in less than 20 minutes!
Nonetheless, it's healthy! and it will be even better if you omit the packet of ketchup.


3
The Udon's texture is a little bit like spaghetti!
And there's some chewiness in it!



new
And i love mushrooms!
Any kind of mushroom will be good for me!
Hope my readers will find my recipe easy to follow =)
Why bother to buy store bought pasta sauces when u can make it on your on in such a short time... Try it!
