a little bit of this…a little bit of that..

in case you were wondering, the title refers to my cooking experiences – a bit of salt here, maybe some cracked pepper there…that’s it! 😛 being absolutely bored and rolling with a recently acquired momentum to blog, here are the dishes we had for dinner tonight!

from left: steamed prawns with egg white and Chinese wine, lotus root with pork ribs, scallops and dates soup, stirfried long beans and asparagus with dried radish, chilli and garlic.

topped off with…

a 2001 Grand Vin de Bordeux..err…it’s a cabsav. 🙂

I’ve made aglio olio, mussels with white wine, pork chops with apple sauce, even brown rice, couscous, etc…but tonight’s dinner was declared as one of the best by the missus…so there! *smirks*

the garden gnome furnishes his house

we got new garden furniture today! well, although we don’t have a real outdoor garden lah – just a small balcony. but the addition of a table and chairs, plus our existing struggling plants (i don’t have green fingers) makes an altogether not too shabby ”outdoor” area for our house…good enough for breakfast in the mornings, tea in the noons and of course, wine in the late nights…

oh and there’s a photo of our messy dining table and our mahjong room. 🙂
