World Food Dinner!

Last Monday we went to the pub for drinks for Hannah's birthday in which I got ripped off for my drink. Malibu & cranberry £4.90!??!

Anyway Kelly & Carl came up with an idea to get a list of countries then use a number generator to decide which country each person gets, then they would have to cook something from that country. We were just going to do whatever country you got the first time but then decided most countries don't actually eat as they are poor African countries.. So we did a best of 3. I got USA, Kelly got Thailand, Hannah got Singapore, Carl got Brazil & Danielle got Uganda as she couldn't make it I decided she didn't get a choice to say no & got her first option.

So last night we all made our food & took it to Kelly's to eat! Carl didn't make it though.

It was a successful night apart from Carl not being able to make it. The food was nice however it all did taste like curry which I'm not a fan of!

Kelly made Thai fish cakes with cod & vegetables & a soup with coconut milk, chilli & other spices.

Hannah made Singapore chicken, peppers chow mien.
Danielle made ..... & had a bag of Tilda coriander & lime microwave rice.
I made the best cookies I have ever made, coconut cookies & a vanilla cheesecake!
The tip to make chewy cookies is to bake them at 180°C for 5 minutes then turn the tray around & bake for another 5 minutes then take them out of the oven & move them onto a wire rack but if you don't have one use a plate. They should stay chewy afterwards!
