invade my kitchen

had an impromptu dinner party on sunday night. m wanted to cook (something he's been promising to do for almost a year!) and i blithely offered my kitchen.

happy to report that the flat is still in one piece, no one suffered any injuries and we ate so well!

                                             

to be honest, i'm not entirely sure what we ate. mostly i served as the sous chef - i chopped onions, peppers, carrots and potatoes and you can see the eggplant. at one point, i looked over and m. was looking at the bottles on the counter and the jars of spices on the shelves, wondering what looked good. he would pick something up, sniff it and sort of shrug - "yeah, i think that'll be good."

we had rice cooked with curry and which had sauteed peppers, eggplant, mushrooms and garlic mixed in with it. he garnished the rice plate with hard boiled eggs that had been fried and sliced. interesting.

the chicken (which is in the right picture) - had all the above mentioned veggies and vinegar and wine and who knows what else in it.

whoda thunk? a heavy metal musician and cook. it was an amazing feast and m. seemed to enjoy being the only guy at a table full of women.
