Today we're celebrated my dad's, younger brother's and my dearest hubby's birthday...(well actually today is my brother's birthday, my dad's was on the 15th and hubby's was on the 17th) but we combined it all in one.
so i've cooked and baked the entire dinner for our family plus a special guest from Australia, Susan lantern (Sue) she's actually on business trip. She sells collagen - Ovine collagen and you wouldn't believe how beautiful she is considering that she's 60...yes 60 and she's proud of it! i mean she didn't have that insanely young sking i.e the kind that people would instantly thought that it was 'made' up (botox or cosmetic surgery) but she does have that glow, the fresh look on her face. I asked her how do you take care of your skin? she said 'i'm a very simple person the 3 basics (cleansing, toning and moisturizing) plus night cream and water.' then she added 'but my products all have collagen but i find myself to falling in love with serum it absorb better than ordinary moisturizers' and i was like go figure...
anyway i'm very very tired today, woke up at 7am, been cooking until 8pm then dinner starts at 8.30pm. *roll eyes* yeah you can imagine my legs are hurting...
my menu was:
- Garlic bread
- Baked Potatoes
- Salads
- BBQ chicken wings
- Steaks with mushroom gravy
- Baked Lobster with cheese and beef bacon
- Nasi lemak (this is our tradisional dish -rice cooked with coconut milk eated with sambal, cucumber, peanuts and anchovies which we usually eat for breakfast but now is more popular during the evening)
- mini Tramisu - 6 servings
- 3 Carrot Cakes
- 3 Devil Food Cakes
- Ice Cream bombes
- Strudels
- Punch drink
- Coffee and tea

At this point i've forgotten the whipped cream and strawberry garnishing (which i'm glad coz we had some left overs, otherwise it'll be damp) so i went to the kitchen whipped some cream, diced the strawberries and serve it in a small bowl.(that turned out well)
and that's about all the pictures i have what ashame! i know i regret it. i'll post the recipes later coz right now i have somewhere else to be.
