Homemade pasta sauce (version II)

Posted on May 30, 2010 by Angeline

I slow-cooked the pasta sauce this time and it was really marvellous! So convenient to make and so delish! For the previous recipe, click here.
Even Alicia loved the sauce… you can be sure that if Alicia likes something, it’s gotta be good though the converse isn’t true… LOL.

Ginger Honey Drink

ginger honey

Ginger honey drink is often used as a home remedy for colds and ridding phelgm! It can’t get simpler than this! I find this particularly comforting when I’m feeling under the weather and I’d usually make more – like a whole pot of it – so that I can drink this throughout the day.
