My pal Darna is a damn good cook.
And I feel really privileged to be included in the select few that she invites for special dinners. This time however, she prepared lunch for all of us--by "us" I would like to think--her favorite "lasies and lezzies" he he he.
On the photo, from left to right, you'll find Jewel, Shobe, Darna (our hostess), moi, Lola Dan, and Gab. We sure had a fine time feasting on Darna's cooking.
We were treated to hummus with pate for appetizers. And then there was the exotic salad with mangoes and peppers t. As you can see it was very colorful too. For the main course, there was the chicken tandoori with yogurt dip, and the Cambodian beef dish which goes very well with brown rice. Yum, yum, yum!
And for dessert, of course we couldn't do without Darna's traditional chocolate cake served with Magnolia's best-selling vanilla ice cream. Darna was a bit apologetic about the cake as five minutes overcooked. We couldn't tell the difference anyway... it was very very good. The same can be said about the bread pudding. Yummy, yummy, yummy!
I had seconds, and even thirds, actually.
And because of all that eating, I couldn't help myself really. I fell asleep on Darna's couch. Without me knowing it, Gab took this photo. Well, this photo's title really says it all... busog, therefore, tulog -- I won't translate that anymore. Suffice it to say that my stomach was very happy. I don't think I am being presumptuous if I say that we were all happily busog... and I dare speak for everybody who was actually there.
Now who wasn't? Hmmm...
Cool Camote, we're all so sorry you couldn't make it. We tried to eat for you, honest.
We (especially the dyke coven, see our cutie pic on the left) were all thinking about you as we were merrily munching along... hoping that the three of us could actually give justice to eating for you.
Vicarious feasting, why not? But I don't think there's any way that you can make up for what you had missed. Sayang talaga!
We even had doggie bags too. Darna is so nice. Gotta love her! :-)
