smitten x miles of light

Not long ago, I've discovered a lovely shop, miles of light, while browsing through my friend's blogrolls. This shop has the sweetest prints. I feel so refreshed just looking at them :)

Roasted brussel sprouts spaghetti

it's not common to find brussel sprouts at my local supermarket, i guess it's my lucky day! i roasted brussel sprouts in the oven for only ten minutes with olive oil, salt and pepper. i peeled the leaves because i want them to be super crispy when they come out from the oven!

while waiting for the brussel sprouts, i made the sauce for the pasta by roasting crushed garlics with olive oil and tiny bits of chilli. i love adding lots of anchovies in my spaghetti for an extra flavour. once the spaghetti was cooked, i threw it in the pan and started mixing them up then seasoned with salt and pepper.

i like to mix in brussel sprouts at the last minute so that it stays crispy :)

Bon appétit!

After saying goodbye to my compaq presario laptop I had used since 2008 (too long!), I finally said hello to the iMac.

I still keep my old laptop in the kitchen to browse for recipes and cooking videos :)

2014 is off to a good start!

Back to work

I did a little bit of cleaning during the holiday season.

I'm more productive when my work desk is tidy and clean. I'm ready to go back to work :)

Happy new year everyone. I hope you are enjoying your holiday week.

So many goals and promises I manage to keep in 2013, but there were also many broken ones. One of my New Year's resolutions this year is to achieve one goal at a time.

The New Year is the time where I need to refresh, restart and rethink myself.

I hope you are excited about 2014 as much as I am. Wishing you all the best of 2014.

xoxo
