Dinner for Three!


Sometimes, it's quiet challenging to think of dinner menu. Especially for three of us. My hubby more to Malay cuisine while me and Zafran have a similar taste which is, we eat anything delicious and easily prepared. So, no problem for us, but not for hubby. 

The only spaghetti that hubby's eat is Spaghetti Aglio Olio version, it's such a relief, which can be listed in our dinner menu... hehehe. So, the dinner menu are; Spaghetti Aglio Olio with Seafood & Mushroom as the main course. Followed by Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding for dessert and Crispy Lamb Chops for my supper. Seems really heavy, but it for weekend's night, these menus should be alright.

I think everybody knows how to make Spaghetti Aglio Olio. You can go to here for recipe, except for this version I'm adding in salmon and replace tomatoes with brown mushroom.


If you are a bread and butter pudding lover, perhaps you would like to try out this Nigella's recipe


Original recipe as below:

Serves: 4-6

You will need: A greased ovenproof dish approximately 23cm dia x 6cm deep (1.5 litre capacity)

250g stale bread cut into large cubes, 25g chocolate chips, 3 eggs, 40g light brown sugar, 2 x 15ml tablespoons dark rum (I omit this), 125ml double cream, 500ml semi-skimmed milk, 4 teaspoons demerara sugar (I used white sugar).

1. Preheat the oven to 170°C/Gas 3. Put the bread cubes into the dish and mix in the chocolate chips.
2. Whisk together the eggs, light brown sugar, rum, double cream and the milk. Pour the mixture over the bread, press the bread cubes down into the liquid.
3. Leave to soak for 20 minutes or so, then sprinkle with the demerara sugar, put into the oven for 50 minutes.
4. Leave to cool down for 10 minutes or so before serving.
