A distant reminder

If a canvas of words could soothe your doubts
Then allow these to cover you for warmth
May this offering remind you on those cold distant nights
Know that in my thoughts may you not chip and shatter
May strength and assurance leave you undulled
For you are the dagger I have chosen
You are the weapon by my side

A weapon of war

You are the dagger dangling above my head
Ever present, ever there
You are the blade that has pierced through my chest
It has slipped past my defences again and again
Welcome to my birth and my death at your hands
The history books might not give this the honor it deserves

Cooking Attempts: Pasta with white sauce and chicken

Wee. Made my first cream based pasta dish today. I referred to some recipes on the internet and the recipe on the back of the all purpose cream pack for some inspiration. lol



Ingredients:
200g penne
1/3 cup all purpose cream
1/3 cup of milk
1/3 cup of quickmelt cheese
2 eggs
300g sliced chicken breasts
2 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp olive oil
black olives (optional)
salt & pepper to taste

serves me three

Rough steps that I probably should not forget
1. cook penne in pot (12 minutes); set aside
2. mix the cream, milk, cheese, eggs in a bowl
3. saute garlic and chicken
4. Add in the sauce and mix
5. Add in the pasta and mix

Notes:
  1. Initially thought I didn't have enough sauce but it turned out okay afterwards.
  2. Still need to figure out how to manage that sauté setting on the induction cooker so I avoid overcooking ze garlic.
  3. Should probably choose another cheese next time.
