First time to use sausage instead of tuna/anchovies for puttanesca. Also used whole but pitted black olives instead of chopped ones, and I like them! I have sustenance until the year ends na! 
Unfortunately, I will also be alone on New Year’s Eve/day, so I dunno if I’ll have energy to cook pa. 
Anyway, dig in! 
Today’s sustenance is from thoughtful foodie friends! Meatloaf from my Mandi’s Grill Grub family and spicy tuyo & penne pasta from Mickey! Added sardines to the pasta because why not.

First time to make (semi?! Lol) legit carbonara!!! As in no cream. Just eggs, black pepper, and Pecorino for the sauce! Didn’t have pancetta, so I substituted that with Canadian bacon. Not bad at all! 💯 Proud of myself, but I won’t repeat this anytime soon. 😅 got my cheese from Sourdough Cafe! 🙏🧀 Thanks also to chefs Alvin and Ram for helping me out! 🙌

My sustenance for a few days! I didn’t know what to get, so I went ahead and ordered all pasta dishes from Loida’s House of Pasta! 😅 They offer 2 kinds of pesto (chicken and tuna), chicken Alfredo, penne with white cheese sauce, and lasagna. All are yummy, and my favorites are the last two, which happen to be Tita Lloyd’s specialties pala! 😍 These come in two sizes: solo (pero feeling ko good for two, super filling!) and family (good for 4-5). 👌 #supportsmallbusinesses

Today’s mini birthday feast for my sister! I made pasta puttanesca and ordered the rest. 😅 The mandu is fom Luto ni Tisay Ulam2Go. I fried half of them and steamed the other half; I like both, but Kate prefers the latter. The authentic & delicious dinakdakan is from Tita Adah’s Homemade Eats, while the yummy & zesty lemon pound cake is from Sunrose Bakes! Happy birthday, Kata! Thank you for your lovely meals and patience in doing housework hahaha love you! 😘

Macaroni isn’t my fave kind of pasta, but it still worked with my favorite pasta dish: puttanesca! Dig in!

Toss-in-whatever-you-have kind of pasta, a.k.a. for the lazy. Today’s version: tomatoes, mushrooms, chili, and tuna. Was too hungry to do some plating. 😅 Still good, though! 😋
