I’m having some people to dinner tonight so today is going to be a busy day! On the main menu are:
- Sweet chilli & coriander chicken and vegetable kebabs
- Tandoori chicken and vegetable kebabs
- Vegetable cous-cous
- Vegetable stir fry (lots of Asian style vegetables, thin rice noodles, and a mix of chilli, soy and hoisin sauce)
Some of the guests (there are 5 people coming, 3 are bringing food and 2 wine) are bringing a green salad, bread and dips for beforehand, and a fruit salad to go with dessert.
The dessert menu is:
- Mini chocolate tarts, with strawberries and blueberries
- Plain (low fat, although it will end up very high fat!) vanilla icecream with mini marshmallows, crushed up choc-honeycomb and choc-wafer pieces, and chocolate sauce mixed through
Hopefully it will all go according to plan and I’ll have some nice photos to upload later
My Saturday yesterday was pretty low-key; I had thought to get a start on the cooking but somehow didn’t quite get to it. I did do all the necessary grocery shopping, plus picked up some photo frames and other household things I’d been meaning to get, and went for a long run. I missed this last weekend with being away, and it was great
I did 60 minutes and about 10km…not the best pace, but it felt good nonetheless.
I’m off for a quick gym workout now and will then rev myself up for cooking and cleaning (I’ve learnt from experience that it’s best to wash my kitchen floor after I do lots of cooking…otherwise I just have to do it twice. lol.)
