A Papa's Pasta

My Pasta Bake

I honestly didn't know what to have for dinner today and I was definitely not in the mood for rice plus we already had pizza yesterday.  So, I raided my pantry, found some pasta shells and instant soup; went through the fridge and found some parmagiano and petite pois.  The result: Baked Pasta! 

• 2 cups dried pasta (boiled till al dente)
• 1 can instant Kimball soup (I used Chicken and Mushroom)
• 1 Bombay onion, chopped
• 1 cup petite pois
• 1 piece chicken burger
• 1 cup grated parmagiano
• 1 tbs oil (I used corn oil)

Card from the Heart

Nothing beats giving someone something from the heart especially one that you made yourself.  For my son's nineteenth birthday, I made him a birthday card.  It was my first hand-made card after many, many years.  I remember the last time I made my own card was about thirty one years ago.  Evidently, that long hiatus has caused me my card- making skill.  I will have to start making more of my own cards again.  Don't be surprised if you get one from me soon!

Better Baked Bread



Tiny's Bread Pudding

 The other day I was at a loss of what to do, so I baked an easy Bread Pudding ala Tiny!  I could not wait for the pudding to cool, so I had it while it was piping hot!  Be brave to change the recipe here and there according to your fancy!

• 8 pieces wholemeal bread, quartered diagonally and spread with butter and jam (I used strawberry Jam)
• 6 cups milk (I used low-fat, of course)
• 3 grade A eggs
• 1 cup sugar (I used brown sugar)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• A handful of raisins, pre-soaked (I soaked them in orange juice)

Pottering With Pots!



Cat's Whiskers

Welcome to My Tiny Corner and I do mean it literally!

One of the things I like to do is to potter around in my small garden in a small corner of my front porch.  I don't have that many plants but I love the ones I have, like the 'Cat's Whiskers' in the picture on the right.  Other than its unique flowers that resemble a cat's whiskers, it also has medicinal purposes.
