Unfortunately, I did not win anything in the sweep at work but we did have a nice lunch today!

In preparation for tomorrow's gastronomical festivities at work for Melbourne Cup Day, I got busy baking. I couldn't really think of anything else to make for our lunch tomorrow so I settled on quiche.
Bacon, Leek and Mushroom Quiche
The large one turned out more like a deep pan pizza because the pastry and filling sank down heaps after baking. The smaller quiches were much better. I need to find myself a deeper flan dish.

Summer Soup with Seafood and Risoni
Saturday 29th October 2011
I had a few friends over for dinner tonight. I tried to cook the spicy potatoes that Ramona made for me the other night and it turned out great but I had to make some adjustments. For starters, I could have sworn I had turmeric at home, but I didn't. So, I used some saffron for a splash of colour and flavour. I also didn't have any green chillies at home so I added some sliced fresh spring onions for some colour. That's what cooking is all about...improvising and using what you have!
After much deliberation, we took the maiden journey from my house to the video store on foot and spent the rest of the night trying to stay awake for a really really bad movie. *shudder*

Tonight I was on the earlier shift so I was able to go to Mum's for dinner. For the last few days I was looking forward to a large bowl of wantan soup but when I got there, Jocelyn was eating Mum's Hainanese Chicken Rice. Mum was about to make up the wan tan dumplings but I told her not to bother and I tucked into the chicken! There was also a beef stirfry.
Christina had just returned from a short trip to Sydney and Melbourne and she brought out some goodies from Adriano Zumbo's Patisserie for us to enjoy with our coffee.
I forget the name - some sort of Almond Meal cookie. I enjoyed it because it wasn't sweet.
My blueberry plant is fruiting nicely. I picked three ripe blueberries and they were nice and sweet.

For many months now, I have been pestering one of my fellow workers, Perry, to put his money where his mouth is and make his mouth watering, reputably out-of-this-world moussaka. With our Mediterranean theme today, he could not escape the challenge anymore.
Hell yes!
It's pretty much a Greek pasta bake or one layered lasagna!
Tonight I was invited to dinner at Ramona's place with her husband. We started with some gorgeous cocktails and nibblies and then we migrated to the kitchen for the Sri Lankan feast. Woo!!
I once tried to cook these potatoes but it was an epic fail. I must try it again!
The food was sooooooo good! Absolutely restaurant quality. I happily went home with leftovers!
