They Gone Home

Today it’s everywhere in the news;

Our King of Pop is gone. Michael Jackson passed away.

“LOS ANGELES - Michael Jackson, the sensationally gifted child star who rose to become the "King of Pop" and the biggest celebrity in the world only to fall from his throne in a freakish series of scandals, died Thursday. He was 50.
Jackson died at UCLA Medical Center after being stricken at his rented home in Holmby Hills…” (Michael Jackson Dies in LA Hospital)

Every radio station, news stations are talking about his death. I have always listened to his songs since I was young, he was a great pop singer.

Farrah Fawcett have also return Home on Thursday due to cancer.
“LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Farrah Fawcett has died after a long battle with cancer, Access Hollywood has confirmed.
Farrah died at 9:28 AM on Thursday at St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica, Calif…” (Farrah Fawcett Dies at 62)Farrah Fawcett our original Charlie's Angels star. Well, i never watched her in Charlie's Angels. Was too young to understand TV then.

At the same time, my director’s mother passed away today too. Some of my colleagues and superiors are going over there now.

My Condolences to those who have lost the people they loved today. They are now in a better place.

Failed Carbonara Chef

Instead of blogging about my Beef session in Singapore, I would like to share my experience of me cooking Angel Hair Carbonara for the very first time. Those who know me well enough knows I dislike cooking and for those who don’t, well now you know haha.

I was eating Fettuccini Carbonara for lunch one day and was watching how this person was cooking it. So I was thinking “Hey that is easy! I can try it myself.” Was in Carrefour with my family on Saturday evening, since I was there, I bought Cream – Payson Breton Cream.

Sunday came;
Ingredients set out to be cooked.Here we have the Egg, Cream in the box still, Angel Hair in the Pot and Sausages.

Not to forget:Onion and Garlic diced, Salt, Parmesan Cheese (I don’t have a lot of this sadly), of course some Olive Oil (I had to use Corn Oil because I ran out of Olive Oil, Butter is even better if you have salted types) and the rest was shown before that bowl is the cream and egg blended in.

I would have taken the process of the whole cooking, but I forgot where I left my camera phone haha. But being the first time, I was in such a panicky feeling I would have forgotten anyway if I had my camera phone nearby anyway haha.

The outcome of me cooking Carbonara for the time:Looks presentable, but I think I cooked the Angel Hair too long haha. It felt soggy and note to self, no egg in cream next time, made the whole dish tasted flaky and too creamy and no using Angel Hair; it didn't taste as good as normal Spaghetti (that or it is just me :P). I also forgot to add some salted butter to the Angel Hair before drowning it in the sauce haha. I sure failed big time! Next time, I am going to try with bacon instead of sausages or maybe both.
