First Home Cooked Meal

It was actually not my first home cooked meal in Copenhagen but it was the first meal that I actually cooked 3 dishes spontaneously. Not only for myself. Also, for my colleague who came to my apartment after work.

We were supposed to run a macro overnight to update a system. Hence, she came by to show me how to do that. As she was busy setting up the macro, I prepared dinner in the kitchen. My mind was racing on the way back - "Gee, what should I cook. What was in the fridge? As far as I recalled, most of the things were in the freezer =.= "

A sudden flow of idea came to my rescue! I had beancurd, capsicum, shredded ham, minced meat and kailan safely stored in the fridge, not the freezer! Aha...I was proud of myself that I managed to think of something quick and easy to cook ;p Come to think of it, it was really nothing! Hahaha. At least, the presentation wasn't very captivating.....but the taste was by the passing mark :p

Can you figure out what are these??
Ahem,..proudly present dish #1 : Minced meat with beancurd in soy sauce. Looks blend, eh? Good for diet, though *grin* I am a healthy person! (Nah, only when I am lazy...oppsss...what did I say? You didn't catch that =p)
Okies, here is dish #2 : Fried kailan with diced garlic and ginger.
Lastly, dish #3: Italian tomato soup with sundried tomatoes, capsicum and shredded ham. Tadaa!! All done in....I think about an hour or lesser. Hey, plus washing, cutting, and cooking the rice!
These strawberries were not part of the "dishes" that day. I bought them at Chinatown last weekend for 10DKK!! Quite reasonable as the size of the strawberries were relatively large and they were fresh :D Just irresistable to show them off - strikingly red, succulent and simply fresh! Love them.
