Cooking at home

After married for about 3 weeks, we decided to cook at home. You know, to experience so called 'family' life. Haha. Since yesterday was a public holiday, we invited Nana and Tom over for dinner (Tom cooked us some nice spaghetti before our wedding). Mum and bro Antz were invited too as dad and Horsey were away. It was a dinner meant purposely for gathering and watching our wedding video, so we only prepared some simple 'home cook' dish.

Nana asked earlier on if I would prepare Sushi (cause that's the only thing that she knew I could do) but I did not have ample time to prepare the ingredients as I needed to go to temple for some activity that morning. So instead she requested for me to cook something. Sweat~ Well, cooking is not a big problem for HG since he is used to it but for me, it's a great challenge. You see, the one and only thing that I can cook well is Maggie mee. The most being maggie mee with egg. Ha! Anyway, I flipped through my recipe books (I have those books on my bookshelf just for the sake of 'enjoying the pictures') and did some research on what to cook. In the end, I decided to come out with 2 dishes. HG cooked us lotus root and peanut soup, as well as chicken with capsicum whereas I prepared deep-fried mashed potatoes with cheesy eggs and a tofu dish.Chicken with capsicum by HG
My potato+eggs dough taken out from fridge just before frying
Ta-Da! Deep fried mashed potatoes with cheesy eggs (some fried nuggets to standby in case my work failed)
and egg-tofu with mushrooms

the happy faces of Nana and Tom. So I guess my cooking is still 'boleh tahan'. At least they were edible. Hahahaha!

Dear nana, i think you don't look bigger than your spouse, just this photo the way they took it made you slightly look bigger. Also, i think Tom looks like Totoro in that pic. >.<
