I had three friends over at my place for lunch. I planned a mainly Western meal. We had Tuna Salad with Cherry Tomatoes, Pasta Carbonara, Fried Wantons, Shrimp Paste Chicken and Cocktail Jelly.
I made the salad and thankfully, they were happy with the portion, especially the generous amount of tuna. I added in lettuce leaves on the suggestion of Andrina and Mich. I tossed all the ingredients in mayonnaise. Mad was in charge of the pasta and the sauce. Mich did a really good job with the wantons. She's very adept in seasoning meats and she included generous portions of the pork in each wanton. I still remember her version of Fish and Chips at her place a long time back. She then taught me to fry the chicken and obviously, it tasted superb because of her supervision. Andrina prepared the jelly but I think we forgot to add in the sugar. I felt that the jelly tasted a little bland but it was my fault. I forgot to tell her to do so.
Halfway through the meal, I felt unwell and had to rest. The 3 of them were so sweet and understanding. They washed the dirty dishes and cleared the table. The place was spotless. Andrina even gave me a hot water bottle to make me feel better. They then occupied themselves with activities.
We made so much food that we could not finish the salad, pasta and jelly. I had them for my own meals subsequently. I decided to make Pasta Alfredo by adding in minced chicken and green peas. It tasted all right but by the time I ate it, I was already feeling tired of pasta.
I love cookout sessions with friends because I rarely get the chance to experiment with my obscure cooking skills. I look forward to the next one. :)
