A Quiet & Relaxed New Year

Happy New Year 2012!!


New Year’s here…had a long New Year’s holiday. 1st of January, we stayed home, decided the night before that we shall stay home the whole day, didn’t want to go crowd up with people. So, we still need to eat and we went and get ingredients for the little home cooked feast on New Year’s Day Roasted chicken wings and tea were served for lunch, I had marinated it the day before, and the flavor was great. The ingredients to marinate was real simple, some cooking wine, sesame oil, ginger wine, oyster sauce, soy sauce, salt and pepper to taste. While roasting, basted some honey on it to make it a little sweet and golden brown. Had a compliment from J, he said the taste was just nice, not too salty not too sweet. The flesh was tender and juicy… Awww… thanks a million for that. *shy & blush*.


Lazed around for a few hours and it was time to prepare dinner. We had steak with coleslaw and tomatoes for dinner. Marinated the steak with BBQ sauce, Chivas, butter, salt and pepper, a little sugar and honey. The steak was cooked well-done, he doesn’t like medium well so I shall just follow suit. It took about 20 minutes to cook in the oven, 5 minutes before the steak was cooked; I popped in the tomatoes to bake it a little. It turned out quite well as to what I expected


So, there goes my New Year’s first home cooked meal.
