Linguine Marinara

We had a midnight dinner believe it or not. I spent quite a bit on buying the seafood but it was worth it. Menu for dinner, linguine marinara. linguine with red seafood sauce. To make the sauce, i simmered the mussels in red grape juice,fried some chopped garlic in butter beforehand,put some chopped tomatoes,seasoning,large king prawns,smoked salmon, spinach and basil.and Bang!Voila!

I should be revising

I'm going to have a listening French test in an hour and a half's time and here i am uploading a picture.I made this on monday. It's chicken tandoori dipped in cool yoghurt, my version of biryani and some hot tomato sambal.

wet Kway Teow

Yum, ZWE cooked up one of my favorite dishes for dinner: Wet Kuay Teo.Would be great if it had straw mushrooms,baby corn and Choy sum leaves but its still delicious.One of the slurpiest dishes.Adding sweet chilli,lime,fried shallots and fresh chillies gives it an extra kick.Thick and full flavour.Caution; Not to be eaten when wearing white.

Heaven in Tinseltown

It was Samedi and it means that all my cousrework is officially over. To celebrate, we went to Tinseltown in Leicester and ate our hearts out in this 25 pounds per plate meal. Juicy meaty beef steak, well done lamb chops, finger lickin' BBQ wings ,cajun chicken breasts,toasted garlic bread and melted cheese on chips.It was worth every pound.Just look at the picture and drool. yum yum.Anybody eating this would feel like the happiest person on earth after the meal.That's how satisfying it is.
