And so here's the famous Mizu Volcanic Sushi
Excuse our photography please... no one brought a proper camera so we used iphones and that blackberry there too.

Nica kindly took a candid photo of me trying to pick my food with chopsticks. I'm in fact trying to be an expert using chopsticks to eat, tryyyyinnng....
We had a hard time finishing all the food we ordered but tried our best and we won, over sushi, seriously? Oh my goodness, the food was so yummy and heavy to the tummies and well presented too. Eating in between loud conversation and laughter = fantastic girlies date night over sushi.

Well, as it was getting late and we were the last customers to leave the place, we better be going and everyone has to go to work the following day! Have fun you guys!

Working girls, busy weekends, busy life... finally we've all managed to get together and have asked Marisol to host the venue in her Sharjah home.

Friday morning while I'm busy sleeping (as usual) in one of her sofa and so is Posh in another one (they were comfy, hehe), two other lovely girls Dahlia and Shy came the from Dubai with bags of ingredients to be cooked for brunch.

It was a weekend full of cooking, singing, eating, and some drinking :-)

Our hometown's favourite, locally called ginataang puro-pagulong or in English "Winged Beans in Coco Milk" really good with some sliced bird's eye chilli peppers. You eat this with rice and make sure you have a cold drink waiting. I think my younger sister's close friend would call this a "vegetable curry".

While browsing through the internet for some simple recipe to try, I found this recipe from allrecipes.com doable for a lazy woman like me :)

Now instead of fettuccine pasta I used Fusilli for mine.
For the ingredients:

1. Garlic
3. Mushrooms

4. Seafood cocktail

5. Fusilli pasta, Classic Pesto, Salt, Thyme, and Ground Black Pepper to taste
Cooking Directions:
1. Cook Fusilli pasta into a boiling water with little salt and little oil (so they won't stick to each other) until cooked and firm, takes about 8 minutes.

2. I use margarine as you see instead of butter, so I melted it into saucepan. Cook the garlic until lightly brown, pour in the seafood cocktail... let it cook for about 3 minutes, then mushrooms, and finally your pesto. Add salt, sprinkle thyme and ground black pepper to taste. Voila, it's lunch time! Yummy!

I don't have a standard measurement as I cooked this for fun so if you want to follow the recipe you may decide quantities you want to use :-)
