Lunar New Year Dinner

Had the first dinner of the Lunar New Year with

Elli, Julia, Steph & Laura.

Being the bum that I am,

I decided not to cook!

Starters: Spring Rolls

Had to have something vaguely chinese right?

Main Course: Chicken Pasta Bake

With white wine...

Dessert 1: Chilled Mandarin Oranges

Nono... I served a FULL plate...

Just that before a picture could be taken,

half of it had been eaten... =)

Dessert 2: Apple Strudel

with Vanilla ice-cream...

Sometime during dinner, we suddenly realised

the food we were having were a

perfect match for the people present.

The spring rolls and mandarin oranges were "Chinese"

Pasta was "Italian" (Laura)

Wine was "French" (Steph)

Apple Strudel was "German" (Julia)

and the Ice Cream was from UK (Elli).

We were strangely pleased with this...

------------------------------

Even though everything was "ready made"

it wasn't easy ok?

Had to time the spring rolls and pasta to be baked

so that the spring rolls would be ready for 7:30pm

and pasta ready for shortly after...

Then had to estimate how long it would take us to finish the pasta

so that the apple strudel can be baked in time...

*stress*

------------------------------

We had a "no left-overs" policy...

...until dessert.

Apple strudel with ice cream, anyone?
