Creamy Alfredo Argentina pink shrimp portabello mushroom pasta

It is amazing how knowledge of how to cook basics can be empowering. Sometimes, I go to a restaurant and crave the most expensive item on the menu but in my heart I know that with the right ingredients, I would not have to pay as much.

Ingredients:

heavy cream
shrimp
Pasta noodle
Portabella mushrooms
Olive oil
Salt for taste
Pepper
Shredded parmesean

Basically I start off by cooking the shrimp and setting it aside and then the mushrooms. Season to taste. While I do that I boil water and follow instructions to cooking the noodles on the box. After cooking the mushrooms, I boil a little mirin for flavoring until the alcohol is completely gone and the n add the heavy cream and continually stir till it thicken. In the thick alfredo sauce, I add salt and pepper and then add the noodles. Then, I add the shrimp and mushrooms. The mushrooms picture has peas but I preferred the batch that did not have peas.  Below is the final product.

YouTube

I filmed a few DIY videos for YouTubs. What made me do it? Well, I wanted to try it for fun and one time I was at home with my baby and wanted to do something for me to share with the world. 

I am not a big star nor do I want to be one. But, I find it amazing how a DIY video that interest people can get so many views. In 2 year, my "how to make a cute ribbon wand" got almost 9,000 plus views, 29 likes & 22 dislikes. Sure I'm not a fan of the dislikes but reality proves that not everyone will like you and that's fine with me as long as there are those special that you love and love you in return. 

My other videos did not get that many views but one that is inching up to 10,000 is in itself shocking. Have a great day!

 

Mommy Mermaid

Mermaids in movies are beautiful with long flowing hair, slender bodies & beautiful voices. I never thought an experience was achievable till I came across a Pinterest picture of people who have jobs swimming in tanks and pools as Mermaids. I pinned the pictures hoping one day I would somehow be able to wear my own fin. 

I completely forgot about the pin but one day stumbled upon a website finfunmermaid.com offering affordable fins for aspiring mermaids...heheh. Yes, it was a spur of the moment decision that I decided to make a purchase since it had great reviews.

I tried the fin at home and to me it was a pleasant surprise because I had the tail of a mermaid! Now, it was my turn to find a pool to try it in. We were staying at a hotel for our friends wedding and behold there was a wonderful pool. Yes, I brought out my fin to have some fun. It was a blast to say I was momentarily a mermaid, no doubt it was a head turner and an amazing experience.  Thanks to my husband for holding our baby through my shenanigans. 

Ultimately, I feel that no matter how small or big your goal are, how silly others may find it, go after what drives you because it makes you feel alive and inspires you to go for more out of life. Below are 2 snap shots of me as a Mommy Mermaid. Hehe🎉
