When a group of very "old friends" got together last week (end of June) we decided to have a theme dinner - what else?
Summer wine! All of us brought a dish cooked in wine. I brought my whole chicken cooked in wine and Foochow mee sua...and I hope this will also give my daughter some happy thoughts on her birthday..Our pot luck dinners have never been a kiasu kind of thingy. We are casual and we cook with love. No stress. No regrets whatsoever.
Good friends in Miri meet for a nice chat to keep up to date with each other. What better way to share a good relationship over the years? Good conversation and laughter certainly become more memorable with good food at the table. Regina graciously opened the doors of her beautiful home for this simple yet nostalgic occasion....
Drunken prawns
Tou food in special minced meat sauce
Carrot cake (with lots of secret wine)
A slice of the carrot cake
A slice of steamed tapioca soaked with caramelised sauce

summer in europe is different.
Nice gathering.I love pot luck meals.
Do Europeans take a lot of wine during the dog days of summer?
great mouth pics.. i like the phrases summer wine, autumn leaves...
haha i meant mouth watering pics hahaha
Wenn...so how was your summer in Europe? May be we are too much into the songs and old nostalgia...Summer wines...and grapes getting plucked for the making of wines and people feasting away in the setting sun hours.
Charles...it is better than eating in a cluttered and rowdy restaurant...
More healthy too because we tend to cook with less oil etc.
It really depends...but I guess most people drink wines when they have a celebration or have friends over who BYO (bring your own)...Italians drink a lot and so the French.
It is from the song....

How are you? Yes...summer wines often featured in magazine adverts...that's when new wines are made..different grapes different wines...different season different wines...grapes are temperamental!!
Beng Beng...it is good for me recently...We used to say.."Who's in town?" and we would go out to eat...then we realised that we love each others cooking....quite regular for us to get together and by having themes we don't repeat our "dishes"!!
so yummy, I am afraid to live in Miri, because you are always having wonderful food. (shameless of me )
Don't worry. I will then have you to cook for...that's a good thing to do.....Now I look forward to having visitors so that I can have a reason to cook. Empty nest!!
