I was treated to a day off from work today and after a lazy morning got to work immediately in turning the house upside down and baking up a storm ready for Darren's poker night. I had asked D if I had permission to ' go overboard' to which he responded 'yes'. Green light for cooking up a feast!
I don't have many photos of the food ( could be a good thing) as I had so much going on it was hard to have electrical equipment in the kitchen for fear that it would got food particles where it shouldn't get food particles.
I also tried a new snack using some random filo pastry that I had stashed in the freezer. I made a mistake early by cutting into the filo sheets rather than peeling the sheets apart from the main core. I charged on regardless and started to butter the sheets and laying a shrimp onto the pastry and then rolling it up inside.
I put the finished parcels in the oven for 5 minutes or so and [hurrah] it worked, a tasty appetizer that the boys all inhaled.
I made two gigantic pizzas from scratch and everyone started their poker game with full bellies and still continued to snack throughout. I felt my job was done! I also played but after a strong start, got wiped out by Vince after about 90 minutes. I am learning though. Soon I will be a poker champ!
