So Mum suggested I go out to her place for my birthday since it was a
Saturday, and we'd all have dinner there (me, my sheol, Mum 'n' Dad, my
brother and sister-in-law). I said OK, so long as I got to do the cooking,
'cause I never get to cook for people except sheol and myself.
I made Ben O'Donoghue's barbecued pork belly (from "Surfing the Menu"), my
own scalloped potatoes, roasted red onions inspired by Jamie Oliver, a
basic Tuscan salad with my special dressing and blanched green beans. With
all my favourite foods at once, I didn't know what to eat first, but got
lots of compliments from my family It's so nice to cook for other
people for a change.
Mum made the dessert - I couldn't decide if I wanted lemon cheesecake or
ginger-fluff sponge, so she did both. Both were divine, although better on
their own than as a combination - I now know to make an actual decision
next time
Once our insanely busy social life dies down and we've had a rest, I
believe sheol and I shall have to have some dinner parties
