Carmina remember she use to make California Maki Pasta . She went ahead checking what ingredients she had yet some items was missing. Rather using fettuccine pasta noodles I had elbow macaroni on hand. I had no evaporated milk and nestle cream. I had revised with Almond Milk. I only need 1/4 cup of milk. The mayonnaise is Kraft Olive Oil the healthy version. I only had ripped mango it is alright. No cucumber on hand. Carmina had cooked the macaroni pasta, sliced up the mango in cubes and eight sticks of imitation crab meat by removing the plastic wrapper, sliced into thirds before separating. The macaroni noodles were fully cooked I had strained it and added to the plastic container to combine all ingredients together. I added the sliced mangos and imitation crab meat with the cooked macaroni noodles. I placed half cup mayonnaise on the pasta noodles and remaining half cup in the measuring cup by adding wasabi based on your taste and two tablespoons of Kikkoman lite soy sauce. I began ...

There was a day Carmina was coming home shopping with Mom Violy where I had seen something from a far. Coming home looking it up what was  Halo Halo Story  after finding out there is no physical store it was just a stand selling at a building.

Carmina went to  Soul Potato's Cocina Mexicana Mexican Street Food  and was told the first time to come back because they we're on lunch break. Second time around Carmina wanted to order the nachos but it wasn't available. I decided to order other off their menu. A number will be given to you can either wait for the food or shop around inside the Food Court since you have 15 minutes to wait for your order. I wanted to see if it was the same from Mexican food eaten from my hometown in California. I also have friends who are Mexican who cook it authentic.

I would purchase my gel candles supplies at the art store. I learned to purchase my glass containers from the thrift stores. They we're inexpensive way to save money on items that can be useful.
