Christmas 2010 was decidedly quiet, but then, it all started kicking in AFTER that. Our New Year's was relatively ho-hum and pretty much under the radar, because, before and after seemed to be chock-full of blowout drinking and parties!!
Anyways, KennethTheOng got married to WifeWW and so they had a mini gathering at their house. Seeing as many people did not make it that night, there was so much leftover food, that I helped them with the storage and of course, became an a la minute Garde Manger cook.
Item 1:
Garlic Bread --> became Crostini, either with tomato salsa or hummous.
Item 2:
The inexpertly grilled lamb slices --> became a stew, with tons of caramelised onions, some carrots and of course, Guinness with a little help from the supplied brown sauce.
Of course, sheperd's pie remained as sheperd's pie.
And so I made some mixed salad with a mandarin orange vinaigrette, linguini with pesto and roast chicken while Uncle David contributed his famous legend of Mutton Curry and unfortunately, his super-marinaded chicken wings didn't make it to the table from Klang that night.
Well, I gathered some stuff to put into the chicken for roasting, and so, it did look like a pretty picture. Was too busy to take pics of the rest.
Had a great time, with the limited Centenary edition, 12yr old Johnny Walker Black, Chivas, Jim Beam, tons of wine & beers. NOMS!
