The Dead-Tired Week before Xmas

It has been a busy week for us as Mr L is out of office distributing the Xmas gifts to his main clients since Mon and will only end tomorrow and me working my ass off in office, so overloaded with shipments, everyone is booking due to Xmas is coming next week :(

We reach home almost at 8.30pm everyday and still have yet to eat and shower..so we has rushed our dinner these days with pizzas, or simply some pasta. We simply have so little time for each other as we are both dead tired by then.

Also, finalizing the Xmas tree since we always have different ideas, wrapping up the gifts and some little deco to our house..

Yesterday, we both have a craving for Pasta al Proscuitto cotto & Funghi (with cream & cheese of coz)...I remembered Mr L singing his praise for this dish when I first try cooking it...so I did again yesterday, it was so awesome (maybe we are damn hungry i guess, anything goes... ! :)

Here is the recipe to all who loves pasta and (to my agent frend Adeline in Taiwan), you can try it out :-
