Cozy Dinner Numbah Two

Almost all the dishes were old school dishes, things I remember eating as a child, when we lived back at Carpmael Road. Sure, I gave some of the dishes my own twist, but in essence, they were the foods I grew up with. So few people eat home cooked meals nowadays that I feel a compulsion to feed them with such foods. Simple recipes which are healthy and nutritious. Less oil, more veges, no MSG.

We rounded up the meal with some wine and cheesecake with ice-cream for dessert. Much thanks to Jolene for two bottles of wine and to Jean & Jin for both their wine and dessert.

It was quite funny watching them try to teach Halimah how to play mahjong while some others were watching Constantine on DVD. Although the group was split up into 2 activities, I think everyone seemed to be enjoying a lazy Friday night indoors. To me it was a great way to start the weekend!

I'm definitely looking forward to holding more of such dinners. There are still a lot of recipes in the back of my mind to cook and I'm glad I've found a group of people who are more than willing to eat.

Once again, thank you Indu, Jolene, Irene, Jean, Jin, Halimah, Antoinette, Chris & Wei Wei for making this evening so enjoyable. I appreciate the fact that everyone came, no matter how tired you were after work. I promise that I will try to do this at least once a month, if not twice. Ok?
