Dinner Winner

Thursday, Lisa and I invited my parents, sister and five-year-old niece Alexandra over for dinner.  Lisa cooked a variety of her Indonesian favorites:  rendang (beef with coconut milk), ayam goreng (fried chicken), cangkung (water spinach with tofu and peanut sauce), babi asam manis (sweet and sour pork), baked salmon, sup ayam (chicken soup) and terong pedas (spicy eggplant).  Lisa received many compliments for her food.  Even Alexandra said she liked the chicken soup!

I helped with the food, mostly prep work, but ended up burning the rendang in the slow-cooker (didn’t know food could burn in a slow-cooker!).  I also helped clean the house and set the table.

All in all, the dinner was a big success!
