Last night was a very exciting evening for me. I've had lots of computer problems with my laptop recently (a vital piece of technology in my life!) which resulted in my having to take the whole thing back to factory settings and start over. It was rather traumatic for this computer dummy. Since then I've not been able to figure out how to make the laptop talk to our wireless printer. A source of great frustration on my part. This week I could bear it no longer. Uni requires a great deal of easy connectivity! My solution? Invite some friends over for dinner - both of home have degrees in computer science. These lifetime, childhood friends took great pity on my pleas of desperation! The outcome? After 15 minutes my computer was functioning as it should. And then we gathered around an Asian-style feast - home cooked. The children were ever complimentary (as these children always are of meals eaten here) and I insisted that in this case their father was the one to thank!
How truly blessed to have precious friends who willingly share their wealth of knowledge and expertise!
Miss Sunshine was suitably impressed too. Her favourite Yum Cha dessert made its way to her dinner table at home. My SIL had a recipe for this mango mousse/jelly in one of her many cookbooks, which I perused while we were in Queensland. I wrote that one down and it was well worth the effort. I'll post it sometime soon, because if you're a mango lover you'll love this one!
Our meal adventures continue around here. Glass vermicelli noodles (made from mung beans) are my experiment for the week. My menu reflects and idea. A desire. I've yet to find a recipe to match, although my nephew's favourite curry soup could be adjusted to suit.
Monday: Ricotta fritters, vegies
Tuesday: Tomato & bacon pasta
Wednesday: Captain crunch chicken, vegies
Thursday: Pork spare ribs, rice, vegies (this might end up being the lasagna we didn't have last night!)
Friday: Glass noodles with chicken curry
Saturday: Chicken schnitzel, vegies
Sunday: Homemade pasta with creamy mushroom & bacon sauce
Thank you to those who left comments yesterday. I appreciated hearing your thoughts, and I was quite relieved to know that my intuitive response was not outrageously inappropriate! Sometimes we just need to know that about ourselves!
