Last Friday, in a search for a delicious menu for a friend visit, I decided to make a pumpkin soup as a starter. Luckily I found two lovely Japanese pumpkins in the Spree German supermarket, which not only tasted good :-), but also became nice shapes for our first Halloween carving experience:
Here is the menu that I prepared for a cosy dinner with three friends - Vladimir, Mathias and Kim Hoa (supposedly four but Thomas missed it), most likely for myself to remember a possible combination of delicious and quite simple-cooking dishes:
Starter: Pumpkin soup (recipe adopted from gocbep.com);
Salad: A plate of tomato slices with cheese together with a bowl of peanut salad (Vietnamese style, eat with souffle);
Side dish: Grilled bacon with apple and baked pineapple - this is the star of the dinner, a light dish, very tasty and I like very much the addition of the two fruits to the bacon;
Main dish: Spaghetti Carbonara (learnt from our Italien friend in the SAHC Master, Riccardo, special thanks!);
Desert: Chocolate yogurt with pineapple and dried grape.
The dinner went well with some fun moments. After that, we played the Monopoly game, which is a game depending mostly on luck. Therefore, I only got excited at first, but after almost 2 hours, I lost a bit of my concentration and made wrong moves a couple of times. To conclude, I enjoyed cooking for friends and gathering with them a lot, reminding me of the wonderful time in Prague that each of my colleague in the SAHC Master from a different country prepared our own cultural dinner. We will do it more often here.
In the mood for new cooking the next day, I tried a new dish: Korean omelet with the recipe I read again from gocbep.com. I used to have this in Singapore, this is a nice dish once in a while, but if one has it often, one might get fed up with the creamy taste:
