hey winnie, nah, not really embarrassed, but I think its good to post what happens some nights... I know sometimes people dont want to post what they are having, as everyone elses sounds so yummy or has 'wow' factor... . So it was just ordinary old 'get fed and get fed quick' last night... lol. I'm not a perfect domestic goddess, but my kids love me and they are healthy (apart from the latest lurgy) and thats about all that matters to me so, fish and chips sometimes is YUM for them... . . lol.
Its great to see everyone having lots of different dishes and there's a couple I might venture to try... . .
Tonight will involve something with Rice, cos Mr got the last of the spuddies yesterday and Im not hitting the stoopidmarket till tomorrow.

Hmmm. . well... my "the secret" visualisation of lamb being on special didnt work. . lol
So, mr charlieb's birthday dinner is Roast chicken, kumara and potato with brussel sprouts and leeks... . and gravy! Of course!
No, dessert, cos I just havent had time... although, if he behaves he might get a piece of peppermint choccie!

steak and eggs - last nite steak eggs and oinons, nite b4 steak, eggs onions, mushrooms and tomatoes - Im getting pretty sick of steak - just I cant be bothered cooking something else. Steak is always easiest. Yesterday we had a big lunch - lots of smaller Thai dishes in the city. I promised my love I'll make him a korma tomorrow after work.

Well, it was YUMMO - IMO anyway, lol! Here's the recipe as I made it... .
PANCIT 250g vermicelli noodles (or dried egg noodles) 250g chicken (I used thigh meat, chopped), and/or pork, and/or shrimps 1 large carrot, julienned Bok choy, chopped (recipe said cabbage but I used bok choy) celery, finely sliced (about 1-2 stalks) 1 onion, sliced 3 cloves garlic, crushed 1/4 c soy sauce 2c (I used a bit less) Chicken stock salt & pepper to taste
Put vermicelli noodles in a large bowl, cover with boiling water and leave to soften.
Heat some oil in big pan or wok (I used peanut oil), saute the veges enough to half cook them. Season with a little salt. Set aside.
Add some more oil to pan, saute the garlic and onion. Add in the meat/s and stir fry for a few mins till the chicken changes colour. Season with salt, pepper, and a dash of soy sauce. Set aside.
Time to build the 'pancit'. . Boil the stock and soy sauce in the pan. Add in the (drained) blanched noodles (you can cut them with scissors to make them more manageable at this stage... . my filipino friend does this). Let simmer till the noodles absorb the liquid.
Add in the meat, and mix. Add the veges last. . mix and let heat through. Serve with a wedge of lemon to squeeze the juice over.
