Potluck for Vesak Day
One fine day, Peggy told me, 'it's been a long time since we last had potluck....'
so i goes,.....'great idea, shall we???'
and so, with the invitations and conversations done over msn on a sunny afternoon, we decided to put it on the eve of vesak day (well, at least the next day is a holiday).
& since it is so near to Vesak Day, we decided that the theme would be 'Chinese Cusine'.
& yes, it doesn't matter if we have two pregnant ladies in the group now. We are still as energetic as before. thank god. =)
the early birds at coris (abt 10am):
with dennis (our jamie oliver) arriving next to prepare his dish. Here he is, trying to ask livingstone to be his assistance.
And so, a potluck is a gathering of people where each person is expected to bring a dish of food to be shared among the group isn't it. The menu was decided by each and every individual of us abt 2 wks before the event via email. Here we go:
And I forgot to snap the drinks that ah siang contributed!! haha...
and so, we have quite a spread on the T-shaped table for a total of 12+2 mouths....Felin and Desmond being vegan until Vesak Day have to refrain from touching the sinful food. I tried to make vege-bee-hoon for them, but I guess i failed, cos without being able to add the pig trotters, i dunno how else to fry and make it nice. haha...pai sey....
Before the lunch begins, most of them are bz helping out....
we do have some idle king here, they are actually quite good, cos some contributed eye power lo, haha....kidding la...
As we had to wait for dennis's chicken to be steamed, we then sat in groups to chit chat. It was cosy.
Lunch is ready!!
Look at how cosy kenny and livingstone is .... hahaha
And we have gift from our frens who went overseas again.... heh heh
After lunch, it was chit chat, watch dvd, gossip, raking up the past, eat fruits, and finally leaving for dinner...
Nevermind if Livingstone and I had to clean up the hse after we call it a day. Im blessed that Livingstone is there to help me at this moment now when I can't squat and wipe the floor anymore. He mopped the floor, and it was sparkling clean! He washed and cleaned the pots and pans. What did I do? I forgot, haha....but hey, its a pregnant woman's priviledge now alrite! Not that I meant I will fully utilise it, but Livingstone knows how much I appreciate him, and he noes I still help out too.....hor? =)
It was yet another successful potluck held at Coris, thanks guys for being wonderful cooks and companions! We'll have another one, when the inspiration comes. =)
