Koronadal City: Von's Spicy Squid and Chicken with Vegies Pasta

It's Saturday and just a few days before this, I experimented Seafood and Mushroom Pasta. At this very moment, I was very inspired to do something with pasta again but with different toppings. Gonna cook Spicy Squid and Chicken with Vegies Pasta!!!

I opened the fridge and saw chicken, squid, breading mix, vegetables such as broccoli and asparagus. I don't know what to do at first but later on I thought of mixing the meats with breading and spices and fry them. Sauteed other ingredients together with the vegetables in olive oil and mixed the squid and chicken. Mixed and tasted them until I satisfied my self with the taste that I wanted. A bit hot/spicy and the liquid from it served as the pasta's sauce with full of flavors.

Compared to the Seafood and Mushroom Pasta, I think I would go for both. They were really deliciouso!!! I bet someone is mouth watering right now. I am not saying that it is you who are reading but me. But if you are, :p !!!!

Koronadal City: Von's Seafood and Mushroom Pasta

I was on leave and nothing else to do at home. So I went to the market to  see and buy some food to store and eat at home. Then I remembered I missed eating pasta. Thanks to my good friend Jacqui and Homer who introduced me to non-pork, non-chicken, and non-beef food. Jacqui actually did it intentionally for Homer's sake since he is on meat diet for the rest of his life.hahaha!

At the grocery store, I saw sliced mushrooms in can, canned tuna, tomato sauce, olive oil, basil and spaghetti pasta. As  I moved to the wet market section, I saw one of my favorite seafood: shrimps! Without thinking twice, I picked half a kilo of it and proceed to the other side to select some good quality spices for my pasta experiment. I was really excited going home afterwards.

Upon reaching home, I immediately grab all the things that I needed in preparing the ingredients and the cooking gadgets. Cooking seafood pasta was easier as compared to cooking meaty sauce  which requires ample time to ensure that the meats are well cook. With that, seafood pasta is recommended for those who wanted to eat pasta with good taste, easy to prepare and quick to cook. 

This one I made was actually had a better taste than my original Von's Meaty Spaghetti. Although my original recipe is still better than the other's pinoy style spaghetti and any other commercial meaty spaghetti I have tasted. (Boasting?haha) I am really a good cook and keeps on getting better.

When I finished cooking, I mixed the seafood and mushroom sauce to the pasta and my mother garnished it with her basil leaves fresh from her lawn/garden. If you wanted to try this one, better make sure of the ingredients especially spices that you mix. Be sure that it suit your taste and others' taste. Because if not, your recipe will taste just like any ordinary food.

Koronadal City: Family Christmas Party 2007

When we were young (kids), we never missed to participate the annual Christmas party of the compound where we used to live (Palm Grove Compound, Alunan Avenue, Koronadal City). But when we transferred our residence, we never had that kind of Christmas party again.

After our transfer, almost every December my sister nikkom would always plan for family Christmas party but none was materialized until this year. Year 2007 it is. She planned everything from what to wear and what to cook. Every member of the family has something to cook for the party. As always, I prepared the von's spaghetti!!! :D But not everything on the table was cooked by us, some were from the restaurant. :)

I have nothing else to say but the pictures might tell you more.

 With the first niece, Shana.
