dinner

speaking of mochi + yogurt... guess what i had for dinner?

the only time i get to go back to my odd non-eating habits is when twinpophub is away.

i decided to go get frozen yogurt for dinner.

trekked to lulu belle in rockwell -- love the name!  love the store!  (thanks the heart2heart for the photo).

lo and behold, i realized mochi was one of the toppings they offered!

so instead of my usual banana + granola topping, i had banana + mochi.  mmm mmm good.

yun lang...

p.s. please come home na, i'm awfully lonely with twinpophub and you away.

art for dinner

speaking of art, here's a fantastic art-themed dinner that twinpopbro went to.... I LOVE IT!

the invites were sent a month ahead so you had enough time to think of your costumes...

and here is the carefully planned menu which didn't only look good but looked like it tasted really good too....


the host painted 10x14 canvasses to be used as placemats (arranged like the colorwheel) and made little cardboard easels for placecards...


course 01: van gogh appetizer (van gogh's sunflower made of uni mousse and fish roe)


course 02: warhol soup (cream of portobello with warhol himself- haha)


course 03: picasso salad (in a puff ball)


course 04: rothko fish (soupe de poissons en gelee with a rouille on one end)


course 05: mondrian meat (seared striploin steak over a red pepper coulis and a side of roasted potatoes in duck fat)


course 06: pollock dessert (vanilla bean and lemon rind flavored panna cotta drizzled with dark chocolate ganache and an orange syrup)


the placemats doubled as thank you cards that guests brought home


clever!!!
