1603007;invitation

I was invited to have dinner with Johnny and Ronan today.
However, I was very hurry to make the dished for them to be on time.
But I didn't finish cooking until the time when we arranged to meet anyway,
so I let Nora call to Johnny then she talked to them on the phone.
Such a stupid situation..
I was chopping cheese and tomatos and some basils and so on,, and I realised that I chopped
so many ingredients indeed, I made only 15 bruschettas anyway.
But this time Nora helped me a lot, and I left the kitchen with some dirts, but she let me go and
washed it on behalf of me.

Anyway,, I came over their flat, and had a such a wonderful dinner tonight with them.
Potato Salad
Nori-maki. but I think it's more like ours; kim-bob
Sweet-potato Bruschetta by me!
You know what? it's my first time to make Bruschetta, and it was such a successful.
Actually, the bruschetta is the dish before the main dish is going to be served, so it should be
light bite. However, I thought if I make this one with toasted baguette, it makes me and them
full, so I changed the ingredients a bit to be more oriental; the sweet potato which has a lot of
fibers.
Then put the basil and chopped tomatos and oranged coloured pepper then goat cheese
finally covered them with a chopped cherry tomato for decoration.
Lastly, I put the dressing which was made of lemon juice; just squeezed it, then, chopped
basils without stems, and a small spoon of olive oil and tiny little bit of salt then mix it together
and dressed on the top.
It was very nice and lovely!!
Apart from my dish, I enjoyed his dishes as well, nori-maki and potato salad and some
potato stuff with coriandors and olive oil based sauce, and I thought I ate something more acutally, But I didn't!! after that ate a scoop of ice cream and that was it.
So nice !!!! NICE.
Everybody has fed me this week from Monday to Friday! Noot, Sakura's Birthday Party
and Today as well by two lovely guys!
Thank you very much and See you then. :)

1003007;Orgasmic Cafe

On last Saturday, when I finished my working, I popped into
the cafe named, Orgasmic on Queen's Road in norwich city centre.

Nowadays, I plan to go many different cafes in norwich which server some light bite food like
bagel and sandwich at a reasonable price.
So, this time, I went to there and had a good dinner with red-wine after all. :)
first of all, start with my lovely coffee; machiatto
This machiatto,, let me think about it again,, not bad, but not good as much as the
same one which I usually have in the cafe ninety-one.
it's more like water for me, coz it's not strong enough, but not bad anyway.

say, What I ordered,,,, were mini cherry tomato bites and goat+peppers' roasted
bagel with salad + broccolli dipping sauce, then I ordered the wine later.

Tomatos
Bagel
Wine later
overall interior in Orgasmic.

Actually, when I stood up infront of the cafe, I hesitated to go or not, coz it looked more like pub and people were chatting ina group. But I've been myself, say alone for a long time,
I came into indeed without any embarrassment at all..
Whatsoever, it was the cafe where I stepped on it on last saturday, and the food was good,
and the waiters were nice as well.

However, on the way back, I found some oriental ornaments from the shop which
sells some Hindu-style elephants and that kind of patterns like the below photos;

the chair

I think this is the chiba,,, maybe,, I like the wooden carving one.

I like the objects,, say 'artefacts' which looks navajo,, say,, more like ancient Indian style
or Aboriginal - ancient Australian style art which are very abstract, but seems very mysterious with a lot of connotation in the artefacts as itself.

Then passed through the street; the Queens' Street
then reached to the cathedral;

but it was not the catherdral, but the cafe names 'forget-not'
I thought it was very interesting. exterior was abosolutely, the catherdral or a church,, but
it was the cafe and a book store in further inside.

It was very nice day of my picnic on Saturday, and I want to go over there again
to eat some soup and gourmet pizza for vegetarians only. Loved it!
