i made an effort to cook a 'special' dinner yesterday -- something out of the ordinare because usually, after a long day (mulling and debugging and trying to get organised etc)... all you really want is something simple and comforting... and easy to make!
yesterday A and ruth and i had the fun of consuming some glutinous rice that was beautifully garnished with roasted salted peanuts, caramelized shallots, corriander and spring onions. we also had fried rice noodle-sticks with chinese mushrooms, stems of chinese spinach and julienned omelette, with stir-fried ginger and pepper prawnies on the side...
afterwhich, we had a threesome janosh cuppa while indulging in some air-flown pineapple tartlets and sesame paste sweet dumplings cooked in peppermint tea for dessert... we were stuffed full for a change... and i was delirious that the glutinous rice turned out edible... for i've not made the dish for a really long time!
ahh... i should really dig out old recipes and cook something special every week... hmmm.
