Making Stuffs

Been listening to: Tegan and Sara - Time After Time (Cyndi Lauper cover)

Hello, February. Stopping by today for a short update.

One day I woke up from a dream in which I had some macaroni and cheese in it. Probably because the night before I edited pictures of me and friends for the previous update, where we were having some quality time in this pasta restaurant. So I woke up feeling inspired and plan to make some the next day. My mother has been saving my 'request' for some baked macaroni with meats and other stuffs. She said, other than all and every cakes and meals she can make, her sister made better bakes macaroni than her, so I'd probably just have to ask her. What even, Mom…
   

Anyway, I browsed the web for the recipe and decided to use this one from All Recipes. I love that we can now adjust the servings to the recipe! Though I'm still messing around with those measurements. Whoops… I adjusted it into 2 servings because I’m gonna be the only one who have to eat it. Fact: my mother didn't even bother to taste it. Ha.

Bought the main ingredients from a mini market that's actually located in a traditional market. It was already the middle of the day and the sellers were packing their stuffs and ready to go. But not before I got some onions! And I praised myself for being so clever (note the sarcasm) that I forgot to buy some celery I thought could be useful to add some color or at least as the garnish. I'm such a forgetful person. Also, the recipes said I need 1/8 of onion and I got this tiny bitty onions so I use one. Oh well, it's called an experiment.



I checked the recipe once again. All set and so I began. It's fun. But I have to admit I made quite a mess while cooking. Bowls, plates, everywhere. Then I try to rid them off as soon as I'm done by washing them right away, to make more space and to reduce the pile of dishes at the end. After the meal is ready to serve and enjoy, I clean up the whole thing before I actually enjoy the meal. Am I turning into a clean freak? Hope not.

Tadaaaaa!

Well… for the first experiment, it wasn't bad at all. It's just that I can't find other cheese than cheddar (mozzarella or some quick melt cheese), I have to use what I had. And making the 'sauce' you'll pour on top of your macaroni is pretty fun. It's really simple, I was just a bit confused because I've only taste this meal once before. So, yeah, that's my first experiment with Mac 'N Cheese!

I also made some more skulls with another mold I made a while ago. It's far from perfect and sometimes it frustrates me. So one of those days from last week I painted some of them. And of course, my mother would have to give some discouraging comments. Whatevah,
These skulls (especially the bigger ones) are basically my re-creation of the Sugar Skull made by Charlavail. :)

Not yet done (and I'm saving the picture of the finished products hehe).

The weather has been really uncertain. Some days the sunny blue sky turns grey in some minutes and vice versa. I enjoy the rain no matter how heavy it is as long as I’m at home because otherwise, it’ll be quite a hassle. Looking forward to watch a movie tomorrow! Have a nice day, everyone!
