Now, put the oil in the pot first and then put the popcorn seeds and salt in it DO NOT PUT THE SUGAR IN YET, turn the stove on medium high or high depending on the size of your burner. Close the top of the pot and shake every 5 or 10 seconds when the popcorn starts to pop and then when the popcorn is done poppng shake it really well before opening the top of the pot and put the poporn in a bowl.

Shrimp and cabbage fried spring rolls

Cut 1 full head of of cabbage into pieces and warm up a pot and put the cabbage in it and let it cook on medium until semi soft with vegetable oil and salt and black pepper, make sure to keep mixing it so it cooks evenly.















Now, make a thick sticky paste with water and flower so you can use it to role the spring rolls and allow it to stick without coming apart.














Now, take the defrosted shrimp out and wash it and after u have cleaned the raw shrimp, put it in the spring roll with the cabbage and put crushed chilli peppers in each spring roll depending on how spicy you like it and role the spring rolls exactly as the instructions on the package describes. Now, as you do this make sure to put oil in a pan for deep frying the spring rolls and before u put the spring rolls in the oil make sure the oil is completely hot enough to fry. Dip the spring rolls one by one, without soaking, in a thoroughly mixed egg and then after you have dipped all of the spring rolls in the egg and placed them on a separate plate, place them all in the fryer at the same time and fry until it is a golden brown color and then place the fried spring rolls onto a thick paper towel on a plate and wait for it to cool down before serving. Enjoy!

Whole wheat Spaghetti with tomato paste

Bring the water to a boil in a deep pot and when the water is fully boiled put one sprinkle of salt and a tiny drop of oil to prevent sticking and  slowly put the whole wheat spaghetti in the water without breaking it. Let the spaghetti boil for about 7 to 10 minutes depending on how soft you want it or depending on what it says on the packet. After the spaghetti has fully boiled to "al dente" or your liking turn the stove off and pour the spaghetti through a drainer in the sink so the water can drain out fully and then pour cold water over it so the spaghetti does not stick together. Now, bring the pan back to the stove and turn the stove on low and put 2 table spoons of any liquid oil of your choice NOT BUTTER. Take a full onion and cut it up into small pieces and put it in the pan and let it steam and slowly cook while you cut 5 pieces of garlic into small pieces but before you cut the garlic crush it with a knife as this makes for better flavor and the garlic releases an ingredient (forgot the name) and it has a lot of health benefits. Let the onion cook on low for 10 minutes making sure to mix it every other minute and then after 10 minutes put the garlic in with the onion, mix it in, and put the tomato paste in with it and mix it all together. Put 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of basil and oregano, 1 teaspoon of cumin and finally half a teaspoon of black pepper OR 1 full teaspoon whichever one you think will taste better. Let the tomato paste boil LIGHTLY, not all over the place, for 10 minutes and then close it. Take the spaghetti and put it in with the tomato paste and mix it thoroughly, close the top and let it sit for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
