Last Mile Left - On Course

Friday, September 09, 2005

Last day of course (which is today), talking about old times, with an ex-colleague who is working at the training centre. Good times we had, bad times we've shared. All that aside. The last mile of sprint for me, a test from the course Part II. Results will only be out about a month later. Still thinking about pastas... I did a search online and it produced the following:

500 grams mushrooms
375 grams Fusili
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 large fresh chilli or 1 teaspoon chilli paste
2 tablespoon Italian parsley, finely chopped
150 millilitres cream
2 tablespoon parmesan cheese
freshly ground black pepper

  1. Add pasta to a pot of boiling water with salt and a little oil to avoid the pasta sticking. Cook till al dente.

  2. Place oil and butter in a pan. Once the butter is melted add the mushrooms and alloow them to saute over a medium heat for about 2 minutes. Remove from the pan.

  3. To the pan, add chopped chilli, nutmeg (where the heck did this ingredient come from), cream, parmesan and pepper.

  4. Once the pasta is cooked, drain and toss it into the sauce, add to the pan, the cooked mushrooms and parsley and mix well.

  5. Place in a warm blowl and serve. You can add more nutmeg and cheese to taste if you wish.

Wine: Riesling or pinot noir.

Riesling... mmm ...woooo.... Pinot Noir.. cool.
sheeesh... hungry already.

Carbo-load ... shall we?

Update: 2330hrs
Damn... not a nice thing to hear this on the news.. but, ladies.. better be safe and keep a lookout. As if this world isn't in a mess already.

Stay away from dark places. Try not to be alone, if possible. Be alert. Be safe, okay?
