Epic fail....

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

That was later. I was so excited I didn't burn down the place I forgot to take a pic of the finished product.

An easy beginner's mistake
You need to add more tomato puree
Yeah, I corrected that the second time as well. It's a start.

A massive object that I've been picking at for many days.

First time didn't have enough sauce or even onions, and corrected that the second round. Enough garlic to keep vampires off me even in the afterlife.

Will try it again this weekend, but will add even more meat. I went with 600 grams the last two times, and I'm aiming for just over a kilo this time.

I even threw some salmon in it a few times.

I've even discovered something called VEGETABLES, which are nice in small doses. A Google search reveals that these things grow naturally from the ground and people consider them 'healthy,' whatever that means.

Spaghetti, that's another one my kids love and are very good at cooking it. It's a pity you have waited a lifetime to learn how to cook it.

You might want to throw some oregano and basil into your sauce. :thumb:

I was inspired by your Italian buddy in Bangkok to try to cook pasta after his place was serving us loads and loads of meat. He would say 1 kilo is probably not enough, LoL.

2-3 medium sliced tomatoes, mushrooms, ( 8 oz canned if cant get fresh), sliced garlic simmered in butter, 1/2 small sliced Onion simmered in butter, green pepper, red Capsicum

Yeah, but that would require making a 'grocery list.' I'll be lucky if I remember to buy a big ol onion today.

I used a whole box of 500 grams of spaghetti. Still seemed light on the sauce. :(
