Lots of yummy food today for Roast Meat, who had a long school day.
Recess was a very ugly bear pocket sandwich filled with kaya (coconut jam), more weird weenies, some popcorn chicken, some chocolate covered raisins and longans.
Lunch was one of his favouries - macaroni aglio olio, topped with sauteed shrimps and edamame. The cucumber strips are just speed-peeled and not dressed. He loves that.
I finally learnt why aglio olio is usually done with spaghetti - because it's smooth and doesn't "collect" the pasta water. My macaroni was all watery when I mixed it with the olive oil! The flavour was diluted somewhat. I could have drained it better first. Perfect sight, hindsight.
