Hello Hiver's! Good day to everyone!

Way back, when I was still a kid, I liked to eat spaghetti, or let us assume that every kid loved to eat this. I feel happy when my mama (mother) cooks or our neighbor gives us spaghetti because they have an occasion to celebrate. Before, my mama only cooked spaghetti when there was an occasion. We only had spaghetti before when we celebrated birthdays, Christmas, and New Year. This is the only time that there is spaghetti on the table. And the only time we eat spaghetti. Or if we go out, roam around the mall, and drop by the famous fast-food chain here in the Philippines. Because one of their menus is jolly spaghetti. Every time my mama plans to go out, we go to the mall. I am the one who is prepared early. Because I am the one who is very excited to go.

But now that I am older, the scenario has changed. Before I was only eating spaghetti if there is an occasion. And now, I cook spaghetti once a week because my partner asks for it. And I love to cook it because it lasts for us for 2 days since we are just the two of us to eat. We just reheat it for the next day. And I was relaxed for the next day because I don’t need to cook rice and viands. Viands is one of my daily problems, always thinking of what to cook or what to have it. And now, I can say that we can have a spaghetti even there is no occasion.

So for today's it is my schedule to cook spaghetti. And this is the recipe of my mother I just copied from her hehe. So now, I’m going to start it.

She really loved your cook spaghetti and that what only she wants to eat. She still a child and didn't think of what she say. And I think she only speak frankly.
