I had another friend over to my place for lunch. This time, we took our time preparing the dishes. My friend cooked the spaghetti and the sauce. I prepared the peppers for the sauce as well as did the cocktail jelly. Unfortunately, I was engrossed in talking to her that I forgot to measure the amount of hot water for the jelly and just poured it in. That cost me the setting of the jelly. Some cups of jelly were still in liquid form while others had turned to ice. :S
A few days later, I cooked the remaining batch of spaghetti according to my friend's prior instructions. It worked. :) As for the sauce, I included minced garlic with my peppers and mushrooms before adding the sauce, to make it more fragrant. I wanted to fry chicken patties too but couldn't due to lack of time. Instead, I grilled them in the toaster for my subsequent meals but had some difficulty getting them cooked, because I wasn't familiar with the settings. :S
The last dish was really inspired by God. I had prayed about this cookout session on that morning because I was cooking for that friend for the first time as well as for my maid, who is a good cook. My original idea was just to fry shallots with sausage but at the last minute, I added tomato sauce, chilli, sugar and water.
It was delicious though it was my first time cooking this dish, but they felt I should have added sugar to the pasta sauce as it was a little sour. Oh well.
