Dinner for two on Lunar New Year's day...

Spent all morning this day chopping firewood... 
Had to stop after my muscles began to ache... 
Did something less strenuous thereafter... that is, to construct a chicken coop...  
When the day was done, was treated to a sumptuous dinner...
All done up by my suweeto haato... 
First, the toast with red wine...
Today's soup was winter melon with some pork lean meat...
The salad course was avocado with broccoli, celery, chopped onions, spread over some lettuce... 
 
We don't normally take beef, but today's an exception, I suppose...
Aussie beef it was... and the taste was good...
The 'main' course was tomato-based spaghetti with oysters and broccoli... 
Ooh, delicious... 
And to end the meal, home-made apple pie... 
No sugar added, as my missus said... 
Only three apples and one lemon...
Happy CNY to all who celebrate the event...

    Kong Hee Fatt Choi to you Lrong and your missus. What a wonderful spread of a meal. I would be going for dessert first, then pasta and avocado salad and finish off with the soup. I won't make for a good dinner guest..... :)

  9. Hi Lrong,

    Everything looks so yummy for your dinner. Your missus is right... apples are naturally sweet and so no extra sugar is needed. You must be feeling eating this "sweet" apple pie :D

    1. The dinner was yummy indeed... and balanced in nutrition, I think... am really lucky to have my missus who always think about 'balance diet' when she is cooking...
