Somewhere only we know

Right now, as a "grown-up", has been dificult to find places than endulge me, feel warm and totally blow my mind (the 3 options at the same time). My city isnt a very cosmopolitan city where I can see very different sides of it (like going from the Soho to the Bronx to Manhattan in NY) pretty much my city doesn't have many places you can actually run that are less than 40 minutes away and there are no many hidden alleys.

Well, over the weekend it show me off the opposite. I (well not me, my friends) find this little cutie café hidden on a side street from a very busy main road...it's right there on plain sight and yet for some reason its extreamelly cozy and cutie and perfect. The café is an open terrance with gorgeous lights over the trees and books to the side of the tables (or under or above!) and the food is divine as in Yummy, Cozy and home-made but perfect!. It was still a little too cold to be in the terrance, but the soft blankets make it a lot better to handle...but guys, let me tell you a secret, I'm almost sure my chocolate had something on it, (like pot hahaha) but we just couldn't stop laughing. Like WE COULDN'T STOP at all! It was past midnight and we were repeting all the same jokes over and over and never got tired of it! (mitocondria y su hermano fitoplasma!) 

I guess the trick to find new marvelous places to see in your own comfort zone is to see them with other eyes, it includes a set of several eyes to make a simple sweet place, the most marvelous Central Perk in the whole world.

YumYumYum #1: Rotini with Cream and Butter

I must be honest with one thing even if it hurts to me: i suck at cooking!!!!. I love it so much and yet im a disaster! im the kind of people that can get water burn down. But i love watching cooking channels and the smell of fresh meals, i love cooking utensils and cooking shops, and love eating, and love giving food to people i love. YET. I totally SUCK at it. I've neer been able to get neither rice or cupcakes right. But my oh Mighty! i just got one recipe right!!!! the first one! :D and im dying to try it again!

Rotini with Cream and Butter

Last weekend i run out of mommy-loving-pre-home-made-food and had to figure something out, i got a bunch of ingredients from my kitchen and starting working :) so lets se how i got this yummy Tornellini on Butter and Cream Sauce.

Ingredients:

1 cup of Rotini pasta (this can be either kind of pasta, i even think spaghetti or fettucinni are way much better)

2 tablespoons of Butter

1/2 a cup of Heavy Cream

3 tablespoons of Knorr (yeah the chicken spoon on cubes)

2 tablespons of fresh grounded cheese (i used hard-dry cheddar but I bet parmesan works better)

Salt and Pepper (more pepper than salt)

1. First cook pasta according to the package instructions :). I like to add part of the Knorr during this part just to give certain flavor to the pasta.

2. Get the butter a little melt down on the microwave, make sure its just a LITTLE not completely meltddown. Put half the Heavy Cream on a bowl and start adding a little bit of the butter as you start stirring, we want to add it to the cream and it might get complicated if the butter is to hot. DONT add all the butter, we are gonna be using a little of it.

3. Go take the pasta out of the water, put the rest of the butter into the saucepan, add the pasta as it's melting and start adding the heavy cream sauce. When its all blend in, incorporate the rest of the heavy cream just to have more of it into our pasta <3. Add knorr, salt and pepper to taste.

4. Serve hot and get some cheese on it (we know we want it!)

And hopefully it'll work out again! Fingers cross!!!
