Feast #1

Took Friday off, and we had the BBs over for dinner that evening, the first of our festive feasting at the Jemej's. It had been a while since I last cooked, and coupled with a few recipes that I was trying out for the first time, started the preparations earlier than usual.

In line with The Boy's invite cum menu card, he bought the red noses as well, as a form of "welcome shot" that everyone had to take.




My indulgences from iwannagohome! added a nice little touch to the festive mood. Made the roast beef for the first time, recipe courtesy of my chef. Turned out great, except that for the next time round, I would shorten the roasting time to make it more medium rare!!!


With the standard-sized remekins this time round, chocolate fondant didn't explode and came out perfect!!!! So this led me to believe, at least for this time round, that the last few times I had failed in the making the fondant was due to too large a remekin cup size.


Pictionary was hilarious, and I guess everyone ended the night with lots of gifts and loads of fun and laughter.
