Monday Meal - April 6th 2009

Hey OH!

Sorry folks, I've been busier than a one legged man at an ass kicking race so haven't had the chance to update on the blog. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, we did not have a supper night for this past Monday. But I'm here to update on the April 6th dinner anyhow. =) Right, moving on.


We started off with calamari - Chopped off squid that was dipped in wheat flour and fried with olive oil. We had two different types of sauce, one was spicy creamy sauce (aka siracha and mayo) and a delectable pureed tomato sauce from a can.




Stir Fry Enoki Mushrooms - This was a simple but very tasty accompanying dish for the shrimp ravioli below.




Shrimp Ravioli in Brown Butter Sauce - What a great idea for ravioli! Shrimp with sour cream wrapped in wonton wraps and covered with mushrooms! The brown butter sauce was to die for.. LITERALLY! I could tell my heart was about to go into cardiac arrest. But even then, it would still be worth it. Jk! it's healthy! Butter is made out of milk, which comes from cows... and what do cows eat? Grass! A nice leafy green vegetables.. Consuming butter is just a more efficient way of eating vegetables.. uh yea..



Mousaka - Ok so this dish is Tony's ghetto albeit creative version of the Greek Mousaka. What do you do when you got eggplants, mom's leftover meat, boxed mash potato, sour cream, and cheese? Throw everything together into a baking dish and put it in the oven! Instant mousaka meatloaf thingymajig! Finally a successful attempt at being white! Next stop... proper tipping at a Pho restaurant... aww who am I kidding.. two dollars is plenty for 5 bowls of pho =P




Apple Crisps with Ice-cream - Finally the last dish was a cinnamon apple crisps with granola crumbs and cookies n' cream ice-cream from Fosselman. Again, very simple but extremely tasty, not to mention healthy. Granola and apples!




Another job well done for the Monday Night Supper Club. Special thanks to Chickayo for spearheading the cooking night and a huge thank you to our great guest Minh who graciously brought two bottles of wine.

Cheers -
