Childrens' Day
To
celebrate Ms B's birthday, we had a potluck dinner party on Saturday night.
The Menu
Starters: Crab Bisque and Salad with Portobello Mushrooms
1st course: Linguine with tarako roe
Main course: Roast leg of lamb with tri-flavoured mash and tomatoes with pesto
Dessert: Tiramisu cake and gin & tonic jelly
I made the tri-flavoured mash which was basically mashed peas, roasted pumpkin, and potatoes with cheddar. All three tasted very different, and the colour was quite striking as well. So I was fairly satisfied with the way it turned out since the mashed peas and roasted pumpkin were experiments. Everything else was really yummy as well, so it was a successful potluck. We lingered over dinner for about 3 hours, giving us ample time to digest everything. There's really nothing better than spending a quiet evening with a group of good friends and family, just chatting away with some music in the background.

After dinner a couple of us headed over to Mohd Sultan where I had the very novel experience of snorting tequila up my nose. I'd recommend it for anyone suffering from a blocked nose cos that will just clear it right up. It's like liquid wasabi.
All in all it was a fairly quiet weekend, compared to the last two weekends. Just drinks at Loof on Friday night, the dinner party and drinks on Saturday night, and some beers on Sunday night. Which probably explains why I haven't yet had to take my customary nap in the office :)
