2011 - 02 : Alfredo Sambal Udang vs Spaghetti Ayam Sup

Tradition is defined as belief, customs and practice maintained by society. How a tradition starts? there's no specific tradition practiced in my family. we dont even celebrate birthday. i dont even know birthday is such a big deal to anyone till i was invited to my friend's birthday when i was nine. of course i know people celebrate birthday but i thought it should be a surprise such as other people will remember your birthday but you dont have to remember yours....huh..what a naive kid i was...
back to tradition, about 4 weeks ago, my sister suggested to start a tradition by declaring tuesday night as pasta day. basically we will be having pasta based dinner every tuesday night. the first 2 weeks we were having a very nice pasta. she even tried out the recipe that she got from cooking show and it turned out pretty nice. However, the last 2 weeks (which include tonight), the pasta started turning into a very unconventional meal. starting with alfredo sambal udang (alfredo with chilli paste shrimp) last week followed by spaghetti ayam sup. the left-over food started to mix around with our new-found tradition...it tasted weird but nice...and weird again.
the thing is, starting a new tradition need a preseverence and along the way we get creative and make it diverged from the conventional way. Changes is good but too much changed will crack you up.

PS: Change is inevitable....adapting to change is unavoidable
