: : Dinner with Friends : :

Had a small dinner party with my sister’s friends : Cathlee, Wei Wei (who absolutely luvs this blog! 😉 ), Rose and her bf, Kris. Dinner was a pretty simple affair. Cathlee brought over some maki sushi but the plate was half-finished by the time I remembered about taking photos. Anyway, here are the rest of the pictures :

My sis made a salad from spinach, lettuce and cherry tomatoes. Yep, we’re tomato lovers, especially the small cherry ones. Very sweet and juicy.

We also cheated a bit here. Bought an already seasoned pork roast (uncooked) from Walmart. Stuck it into the oven and hey presto! It’s done. All one has to do is read the instructions at the back of the packaging. Sort of mangled it while trying to cut it but oh well. Don’t have the electric knife that Dad has back home so had to make do.

It’s been 4-5 yrs since I last made this dish : spaghettic carbonara. Only cream we could find at Walmart was heavy whipping cream so used that. Wasn’t too bad. I thought it was too salty but everyone else seems to like it so okay then. Or maybe they were just being polite. Ah well.

Another cheat dish : apple crisp / crumble using Betty Crocker’s mix. Went well with ice-cream. 🙂

That goes to show how simple an informal dinner party can be. 😉

Anyway, a quick note to say that there will not be much updates until I get back home for Christmas. Will be going down to Arlington with my sis to see Donnie, her bf, and also to help her move her stuff there. So, au revoir! Until I get back to Kuching, that is.
