Come Dine with Me

I realised that I hosted dinner at my place almost every night last week!

Tuesday Sabrina came over which I've mentioned below.

Wednesday Sarah came over for our bible study discussion and I cooked THE salmon pasta again (yummy as usual). No pictures needed, I think everyone knows this infamous dish by now haha (Col even emailed me asking for the recipe! =P)

Thursday Yeelin cooked pesto pasta with grilled sausages and homemade mozzarella cheese salad as a side dish and brought over to my place. Very nice.

We went to Tesco after dinner and couldn't resist a french apple tart with vanilla ice cream. Sweet.



Friday was the big project of the week coz I invited quite a few friends over for my (belated?!) housewarming BBQ! Inspired by the recent very successful BBBQ, I decided to do it again but alas weather was not good but we decided not to let it affect our mood (it was kind of a replay of the horrifying BBQ in the rain in Lake District last year actually but of coz wasn't as bad as that one. That was a winner!).
Overall a very fun night, will blog about it later when I lay hands on the pictures from WT's camera.

sigh, I think my camera is dying on me after serving me faithfully for abt 1.5years. I need a new one soon! see the pictures now are so pixelated/ speckled I don't know what happened.. I have cleaned the lens many times which used to work but not anymore... :(

Anyway with 6 guests for the BBQ, I bought quite a lot of meat and marinated them the night prior.. didn't expect everyone to eat so little so now I have quite a few pieces of pork chops left! We BBQ'ed all the chicken first so everyone finished them.. aiya should have BBQ'ed both chicken and pork at the same time so I won't end up with just the pork now. So.... no choice cannot waste food so I had them for dinner with some fresh salad...


AND this is what I'll be having for lunch tmr too.. another 2 pcs of grilled pork chops with the same salad. omg porky oink oink.. so much pork these few days!! Luckily they taste good, if not..... I think I am gonna stay away from porky for some time after this!

Jubilee Weekend | Afternoon Tea Party

http://www.thediamondjubilee.org/ Today is the end of the Jubilee celebrations and how better to end it off than to have an afternoon tea party in the company of friends, while watching the celebrations on our TV.  It has been quite an emotional afternoon, in the good sense of course.  I don't think I've ever seen Queen Elizabeth on TV (and heard the national anthem God Save the Queen) more than these 3 days combined, but this Jubilee weekend has made me grew to love and admire this lady.  She is 86 and reminds me so much of my own granny, and her strength is amazing.  Imagine being sworn in as queen at the age of 26.  (I mean, what was I doing when I was 26?)  On Sunday when she and Prince Philip went onboard the Spirit of Chartwell boat to watch the River Pageant, it was cold and windy but they stood throughout the 3 hours event.  It was said she was offered some hot tea and a seat, which she both said no to.  I love my grandma but I have to say I don't think

Sleep, baby sleep

I had an idea to blog about Isabelle's sleep behaviour the other day.  Before having Isabelle, I had not the slightest idea how big the sleep topic is for a baby, and now a toddler.  I merely assumed that babies will sleep, no matter what, right?  Because they are tired right?  No, of course not.  Isabelle showed me how much she could and can fight sleep even when she is tired.  As a new mum, I did not know how to read her sleepy signs, and more often than not, she would be overtired by the time I catch her signs and by then she is cranky and crying.  Oh the tears.  From Isabelle and mummy. The early months Sleep has always been an issue for me when Isabelle was born.  She cried non stop every evening for hours on end, and we had no idea what to do with her.  Colic was the word most used on such babies, and everyone comforted us that this difficult phase would be over within 3 months.  I still remembered uttering "3 months?!" under my breath.  Not 3 weeks?

Murder Mystery Dinner Party

Two Saturdays ago we were invited to the Kim's for a themed dinner, specifically a Murder Mystery dinner party.  What is that, you might ask.  It was our first time attending such a dinner too, and so how it works is: a group of people attend a dinner party.  Each is assigned a role and will be given a script to read that night.  The aim of the party is to identify a murderer in the midst of us by the end of the night.  The hosts would work off a dinner game set (they got it off Amazon) and it comes with proper invites, setting/ scene, table name cards, scripts and even a suggested menu.  Clearly RX is an Agatha Christie fan. Two weeks beforehand, we received our invites in the postbox, telling us what roles we each have been assigned and the suggested attire (and props if necessary).  Interesting yes? The dinner was to start at 7pm and we were to have 8 people that night.  It's all very mysterious… Our invitation cards assigned K the role of Monsieur Bertrand, a f
