Morning Tea
Andrea's Spicy Prawn Soup


Ooh this really hit the spot for me this morning when I went on my break. It was so spicy - just the way I like it! There were also lots of prawns in there too.

Being a Friday and in high spirits because our boss is away, we all decided to order pizza for lunch.

Lunch
Chelsea's 'the works' Pizzas


Marissa brought some pasta she'd made and I took it home for dinner. I am loving this food swap we've got going on at work!

Dinner
Marissa's Spaghetti Marinara


Ling and Shallen returned home from their trip today and as luck would have it, several of us were free to catch up for the night. I brought over some vol au vents for a snack.

I had cooked the prawns and scallops with garlic, onion and chilli in olive oil yesterday. I reheated this in a pan on the stove and then added a few good sized tablespoons of cream and let it simmer for a few minutes before scooping it into the vol au vent cases. A sprinkle of cheese over the top of each one and then into the oven until the cheese melted.

Vol au vents with Prawns & Scallops


They were awesome!! I was worried that the sauce would just run out of the pastry, but it actually was absorbed into the bottom of each case and it was like eating a deliciously flavoured biscuit when you got to the end. I'm going to have to buy the larger vol au vent cases and make them as a main course.

We spent the rest of the night on the Wii and downing Smirnoff Green Apple Vodka with soda water.
