haha.. yes, FOOD again.

We had another dinner with the french girls and fauve (my the other room mate) today. I should call this a failed dinner somehow... haha. We were supposed to cook gratin (a french dish), and apple crumble. But lucie just had something similar a few days ago, so she decided to try something new together. And so we made milkies... I am not sure how it is spelt.

It turned out quite nice, I feel. But Lucie said the real one taste so much better. Anyway the process of making it was really funny. First we cooked the potatoes, and mashed them and then we add butter, eggs, salt, pepper and flour to the potatoes. Next we tried to put them into ball shapes and throw them into the boiling water... but it was a total failure because they were too sticky together. So we added more flour, and tried again, and more flour.. and more flour.. n more. And then we decided to stop because it was not working! In the end, Fauve came out with this brilliant idea of wetting our hands, so that the mixture doesnt stick to our hands that much. And it worked! So we just, aiya dont care just do it... After cooking it for awhile in the water, we took them out and fried them. And then put them into the oven with alot of cheese on top. And here it is.... The little balls looked like dou sa bing to us. They were supposed to be round, but they weren't cause 5 itchy hands were doing it and so we had alot of different shapes and sizes.


some carrots and sauce to go with.


The apple crumble.

Nice on the outside, bad in the inside. The apples were not soft enough...So we put it into the oven again... Morwenna was laughing like a crazy girl high on happy pills when she served us the final product of the apple crumble. They don't even allow us to look at it! They also added some vanilla ice cream to our servings. The food just went wrong the whole night... haha, not our day! (because the other time, lucie made really tasty apple crumble)

We played some games... The french actually play a simplified version of tai tee... They don't look at the colour of the card, just play by the numbers. and they had nothing like our 5 cards patterns, we can put 1 or double, triple or 4 cards. And once the person put a card "5", the next one has to put "6" or bigger. So it is really simple! haha... and then they also played like the loser gives the winner 2 cards and the 2nd last position gives 1 card to the 2nd position.

The next game we played was to write a sentence on a piece of paper, and the next person will see the sentence and draw it out. It is then passed on to the next person, and he is supposed to guess what the drawing is about and write something out, ( the first sentence will be covered of course) and so on. Quite funny!
