Dinner at Home

For the past two nights, Rachel cooked dinner for me as my parents  and sister were away on holiday. I appreciate the gesture very much, given that she have to do her marketing early in the morning before heading to work and then rushing back to my place straight after work to whip up the meal.

In fact, for today, she even came back during lunchtime to prepare a meal for five – the two of us, Mark and Meiyen whom we invited over and my sister who got back from Bangkok yesterday midnight.

Here’s our dinner yesterday. A simple fish, bacon and vegetable dish mixed with brown rice. The portion was about just right and we managed to finish most of it. There was a little leftover which Rachel ate for lunch this afternoon.

  1. Those are the roasted potatoes that were in the oven together with the chicken… It’s not really the gravy per se. It’s all melted butter and really artery-clogging!

爱心晚餐

因为刚结婚,最近碰到朋友时都会被问婚姻生活跟单身生活有什么不同。来不及好好思索这个问题,习惯性回答就是简单两句“还好”,敷衍带过。友人可能只是随口问问,也不加追问“还好”到底是什么意思。 上个星期五因为工作忙,不知不觉加班到晚上十点左右。老婆打了几通电话催我早点回家,说家里人都在等我开饭。 回到家时,天暗了,我肚子饿了,也带点疲劳。打开家门,看见等着我一起开饭的老婆大人和我父母,还有老婆那天特地下手烹饪的爱心晚餐,一时感慨万分 - 这就是婚姻生活的美好吧! 老婆爱烹饪,丈夫也有口福。 有时夫妻之间也会有一些小争执,不过婚姻生活总的来说,“还是美好的”。我的“还好”,可能就是潜意识“还是美好的”的缩称。 Btw, if you are wondering why I posted my recent two…
