Pan-Fried Vege.

With my previous successful pan-frying experience, I was so confident to do it again this evening when darl said that we should just cook our dinner tonight. I defrosted the lamb shoulder that we bought a few days back, and started looking for suitable vege to go with it. And I found tomatoes and carrot.

To be honest, I was kinda lazy to cook the vege. As I wonder how I could make my life easier, I decided to pan-fry them too. :D

I soaked, and washed, and cut them into pieces (for tomatoes) and slices (for carrot) while pan-frying the lamb. Once done, I threw the vege in the pan – OK la I actually turned off the gas and threw in, and then turned it on again. Scared la me! >.<

A few moments later, I’ve got this served.

It was good! :D Smelled good, tasted good too! Like you BBQ-ed them but with the fragrance of lamb.

But the lamb, on the other hand, wasn’t that good today. The slices we bought were just too thick and somewhere in the middle part just wouldn’t get cooked enough. :/ And to save our time, darl bought back the instant mashed potato… Lazy people. :D

P/S: On the side note, the little red *Updated!* feature on my blogroll hasn’t been working for a few days. Not sure why but it’s making my life miserable. Now I realise how much I have been depending on it to check on latest updated blogs. >.<

The Birthday Dinner.

So this is the day. Darl’s birthday! Happy birthday! :D

And as planned, today I was supposed to prepare pan-fried lamb chop, mashed potato and vege. I had to take away grilled salmon because the pack of lamb shoulder that we bought was quite big in portion – in fact we didn’t have much choices. Those available at the supermarket were big in portion. :/

I started preparing the vege at around 6 pm. Boiled the potato and started mashing them following mh’s instruction. :D Did the same thing to the broccoli too.

At about 7 pm, darl wasn’t back yet. I decided to start pan-frying the lamb. FYI, this was the first time in my life that I was pan-frying something. Seriously, I didn’t know how it will turn out and what it will turn into! >.<

I pan-fried two pieces of lamb and that’s when darl arrived. He stood beside talking to me while I continued pan-frying – oh btw, there were a total of five pieces of lamb shoulder in the pack. I thought I might as well cook them all and give them to my sis-in-law if we can’t finish them. :)

While pan-frying the 4th piece, darl took over and I went completing and preparing the vege and dishes.

And at the end of the day, these were what we had.

A closer look.

They were really yummy! And oh, I did the pan-frying according to mh’s instructions too! It wasn’t that difficult afterall. Yeah I am super proud of myself now. lol.

All in all, thanks Sasi for the brownies’ recipe and thanks mh for the main meals! :)
