I sternly told all guests NOT to bring anything to dinner. No extra food, no dessert, nothing. The idea was to just come with empty stomachs.
There was this one girl who had been suspiciously quiet all day. I knew she was up to baking tricks. She always put us on a sugar high after meals! True enough! She had so many things in her hands that she couldn't even ring the doorbell. She brought over a pie!
An apple strawberry pie!! I love apples in juices, desserts and soups. Strangely, I don't like it as a fruit. It's kinda eeky. I like apples very much in crumbles and pies. We dug out french vanilla ice-cream to go along with it. It had to be good vanilla. I absolutely hate bad synthetic tasting vanilla. That was the most beautiful apple strawberry pie, ever. Everyone finished their itty bits and sheepishly came back for more pie and scoops of french vanilla.
Of course, everyone discussed about how we should all quit our day jobs to run a restaurant. We were all going to contribute in our different specialized ways- food and dessert for sure, design, interior and architecture, accounts, tax and audit, legal, public relations, floor service, negotiations, etc. Haha. Yes. It's a very fun idea to think about. But when it comes down to the running of the business, I think we're all too lazy to actually turn it into something profitable.
Meanwhile, we'll continue with playing chef and hosting meals in our private kitchen. :)

The apple strawberry pie looks delish! Paired with Tillamook ice cream... must be real delicious. I'm secretly jealous.
I'll be your consultant-cum-food taster hehe. :)
ice: want. give us your harshest comments! It must be Tillamook. :) Of course. Only the yummiest. Heee. I refuse to eat crap vanilla! I like the vanilla bean at 789 very much.
ok.. that really looks wicked!
better than store bought definitely. just looking at the crust makes me envious.
oh no! more of the you love to cook, you cook so well, you should open a restaurant rationale. haha
look so delicious! you are a blessed one! =p
sinlady: heh. not entirely. we know exactly what it entails. many of the friends own restaurants that have gone through blood sweat and tears to set up. so we cannot forsee ourselves going that route.
jomel: very very wicked.
mistipurple: always. we're not fond of store-bought stuff. unless it's from a specific few stores.
