cookout at my place

, , No Comments
last weekend, we had a little bit of a cookout at my place
it was supposed to be a usa tourgroup reunion thingymabobbob, which pickle kind of crashed
so pickle and janice arrived at my place late in the afternoon and first order of business was to decide what we were going to cook
ended up with:
  • vegetable frittata (because pickle loved the frittatas at wynnie's high tea so much) - recipe we changed to include red capsicum, mushroom, zucchini, bacon)
  • seafood chowder (because donna, and cherry, and pickle love seafood chowder) - recipe
  • some mash potato concoction as a filler - basically, really good mash potato with bacon and pineapple in it
we went grocery shopping and janice bumped into an aunty. it was random.
then it was back to my place for the prep, before cherry arrived midway with our hongkong style iced milk tea.
such an awesome cooking atmosphere, with mulan playing in the background and the sun shining in through the window. <3
pickle was so cute with her cooking analness, checking her iphone timer every 5 minutes hahha
then anoushka arrived with her "homemade" tiramisu in coles packaging, and that's when the party really started!






i ended up moving stumac from the study to the kitchen table, and we watched all the US videos, janice took with her guerilla style while we ate mash potato from the saucepan and the frittatas from the baking pan. and also, ciders in our hands.
so many lols.
so many moments where me and anoushka just couldn't watch anymore, and had to hide our faces with our hands. good times, good times.
cherry left around 10:30, and then the rest stayed until 2am just youtubing random crap (even though we were all really tired and wanted to sleep, lol)

feel so inspired to continue this cookout tradition through the year.
