Emergency 15-minute-meal

I finally got the x-pole. They delivered it to my bf’s office and it came in this huge box with a lady hanging out of a pole on the cover…that was not the kind of discrete packaging I was expecting…so the secretary called up David and said “赵先生您刚收到一个铁跳舞管” (Mr. Slavich, you just got a dancing [...]

Bow tie ai Peperoni

I did it, I’ve just ordered my x-pole to practice pole dancing at home! Hurra! I am so excited…The school I take class at sells poles for 1600 rmb, I have found mine on taobao for only 410 rmb, and I’m sure it’s the same exact one my school sells…
Anyways, moving from pole dancing to [...]

Pasta alla Siciliana (Sicilian Pasta)

I still can’t get my pictures right and yes, I have tried compensating, adjusting exposure and ISO but still nothing good comes out of my camera! WHY???

Amatriciana is a traditional Italian pasta sauce based on guanciale (dried pork cheek) or simply bacon, pecorino cheese, and tomato. Originating from the town of Amatrice (in the mountainous Province of Rieti of the Lazio region), the Amatriciana is one of the most [...]

Pasta Salad

The Pasta Salad, or in Italian Insalata di Pasta, is a perfect summer dish as it is served cold with fresh vegetable and fish or meat (depends on how you like it).

It is a perfect picnic snack as it is light and fresh, a convenient lunch to bring with you to the office or a [...]

Homemade Tagliolini in Salmon Cream

Tagliolini is a type of Italian pasta  typically from Emilia-Romagna (a region in the center of Italy). It is long and cylindrical in shape. You can buy it pre-made or you can make it yourself, like I have done.

After the homemade tagliatelle and ravioli here we go with an other home made pasta cut and [...]

The Original Italian Homemade Pasta

After the homemade ravioli here we go with an other kind of homemade pasta. Last Sunday morning to inaugurate my new pasta machine I have decided to make some tagliatelle. This is my grandma’s recipe, so it is the Original One.

The machine I have allows me to prepare lasagna, tagliatelle and spaghetti [...]

Mushroom cream Tagliatelle

The Mushroom cream tagliatelle is one of my favorite dish. Yesterday night I had a farewell dinner to see off my friend Carl who is moving to Hong Kong for 8 months and I served this plate which everyone seemed to like…hopefully…unless they were all faking of liking it…..no, no…they loved it…yeah, yeah… I think [...]
