A picture for you all to see of my new home! It's been three weeks since I made my move and things have been great! It's been wonderful having all of my things in one place and everyone here has been more than hospitable!
D & G and I have arranged our nights to cook dinner. For my first meal I decided to make the oh-so-easy tacos. What did I do? I burnt the shells, and, not just slightly burnt them, I mean charred black. Not a very good first impression of my culinary skills!
My second attempt at cooking dinner was better. Using my authentic Chiang Mai Thai cookbook I made a chicken cashew stir-fry and spring rolls (from scratch). Everything tasted good but I had bought the wrong spring roll wrappers and they bubbled and cracked when they were deep-fried. They looked terrible but luckily for me they were a hit. Phew.
G can do-no-wrong in the kitchen so everything she makes is a hit, her pancakes especially!
D also kicked my butt in the kitchen. He made AMAZING crumbed lamb cutlets, roasted cherry tomatoes (which I actually ATE and liked!), roasted garlic, rice and we had passionfruit for dessert. It was REALLY good and I've craved the cutlets ever since. As they say in Australia, 'YUMMO'!
