Seafood Marinara

Any day is a good day for pasta. A plate of glorious, sinful pasta. Christie and I are constantly trying to shed off the extra chubs we have around our arms and thighs, and we try our best to make our meals healthier every time by using fresh meat, fresh herbs and what not. But pasta....how do you make pasta healthier, without cutting back on its taste, well you can, but we just couldn't seem to leave out some crucial ingredients like cheese...........lots and lots of cheese.

Here is our seemingly healthier version of the seafood marinara.

In a war zone

The armies were on the loose on the runway this time around. I have a love-hate relationship with the Fall/Winter 2012 military-inspired apparels. Be it structured trench coats or military cuts, as much as I love the structured look as a whole, I'm not sure I'm that into the masculine silhouette, but I absolutely adore military colours, military buttons and those gorgeous laced up boots. 

Here is a military-inspired look I came up for fun after going through pictures from the fall/winter runway shows, excuse my being late, I have been pretty busy with work!

Oasis maxi dress, 295 MYR / Military jacket, 110 MYR / High heels, 175 MYR / Satchel bag, 62 MYR / Gold jewelry, 30 MYR / ASOS , 54 MYR / Triangle ring, 23 MYR

I definitely prefer a more feminine look thats why I chose a pretty, simple military green dress and I spiced it up with edgy military inspired accessories. Who says you can't rule the world wearing a pretty dress. As I mentioned, I absolutely love combat boots and I chose the satchel because its both functional and fashionable. I am also currently obsessed with oxblood red, it makes everything look fabulous.

I hope more ladies out there will rock the military look and show em boys who runs the world!

Going Korean

I think it was a Wednesday evening when we were watching our favourite educational channel (more commonly known as the channel for gluttons) when this korean cook off was happening and their competing dish was none other than Kimchi Jjigae aka Spicy Kimchi Stew with Pork. Since then we were craving for it. Wait. On second thought, craving seems like an understatement. We literally started prowling in and outside of our fridge and the unicorns were dancing when Christie found ingredients she could use to brew a pot of Kimchi Jjigae.

I expected it to take a long time since its stewing, but I think we were gobbling everything down after about 2 hours. That's not too long, if you have something really good to distract you, like leftover bacon, or tim tams.

Without further ado, here's Christie's version of the Spicy Kimchi Jjigae.
