\"Pasta<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I have a secret list of comfort food that I turn to whenever I am on a low. Noodles and pasta – basically the high carb food – are in this sinful list. Every time I indulge in it, I’ll feel an immediate sugar-high rush to my brain which instructs me to switch off and go to sleep. Time to catch some monsters in my dreams, says I to myself after a satisfying meal of pasta or noodles each time.<\/p>\n

Which is why I rarely touch these carbs when I am working in the day time. Oh no, not when I have to write serious emails and do serious reports.<\/p>\n

Using pasta to make salads is one good way for me to satisfy my cravings without feeling too much guilt. It makes for a lighter meal which is easier for the stomach (and brain) to digest. There isn’t any piping hot, starchy gravy involved so at least I won’t go to cloud nine immediately after the meal. Also, I can put whatever I like into the salad – corn kernels, sliced celery, loads of herb, ham slices, tuna flakes, egg mayonnaise etc. It is a free-reign salad in that sense because nobody can dictate how these salads should be done.<\/p>\n

I have been making this pasta salad ever since my university days. I remember I had had to prepare some food for a picnic at a park for my friends. Back then, I wasn’t much of a cook (nowhere near even today) and I was limited by the utensils I could use at my parents’ house. I had thence decided to make pasta salad and that was how I fell in love with the recipe at first taste. I remember I ate a lot of it because I really loved the overall texture and the combination of ingredients. My love for it hasn’t changed a bit and I still whip it up once on lazy weekend afternoons.<\/p>\n

Let’s see if the little one will grow up to have the same taste as his mum too. \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n
