today being good friday, the family had a more special sort of dinner.

i hadn't been cooking for a while and was itching to do so.... so i volunteered.

dinner went very well, if i may say so myself, lol. We had a proper sit-down meal..

i did this cream of brocoli soup.... all by myself! and it was lovely i tell you, just lovely. i only wish i had the time to do some garlic bread coz that would have made the soup even nicer.

i roasted a leg of lamb which tasted so beautiful, and looked so lovely taking centrestage on the table. accompanying the heavy-going red meat was this lemony butter potatoes & carrots thing. it was basically boiled potatoes and carrots with a dressing mixture of butter, lemon juice and various other secret ingredients. that went very well with the lamb coz the lemon taste of the potatoes and carrots was light and refreshing... always thought a heavy bit of side dish accompanying lamb was very bloating.

the one dish which wasn't so good was the veggie one... and coz it didn't taste fantastic, i'm not going to talk about it :P.. lol

for desert, i baked brownies and drenched them in chocolate syrup.... the brownie mix was one of those ready-pack sort... thought it would be too tiresome to measure out ingredients.. lol. but yup, the brownies went well... oh, and i almost forgot... i had mocha almond ice-cream with the brownie... heavenly...

next is to try roast beef, and desert pie!
