{Tomato Themed Dinner}

This is a full working weekend for both Calvin and I. He's deployed and I've gotta rush presentations. This morning while I'm still in bed, I decided to cook a simple dinner... Cracked my head on what to cook. As usual, I thought pasta should be easy. And I kind of have a craving for Coffee Club's Garlic Prawn Pasta.

So, I got out of bed and searched for an aglio olio recipe before I went to NTUC. Settled on a "Spicy Shrimp and Spaghetti Aglio Olio" recipe. Made a bit of modification to it: used Angel Hair instead of Spaghetti; added in honey tomatoes; didn't add chopped parsley; didn't have all the sides; & didn't add anchovy fillet (can't find it in NTUC Xtra!).

Calvin sms'd me while I was having breakfast and delivered a piece of good news regarding his work! I was really happy and proud of him. Then, the simple dinner plan became a little celebration. So, here's the 3 course dinner I prepared for the celebration.


As I prepared each of the dishes, I realised there's tomatoes in all of them! haha... and the dinner became a tomato-themed one.


What's a celebration without champagne?! We have 4 bottles of champagne in our chiller and what better time to pop it than today? We had the bottle of Moet & Chandon, which was a gift from Jinu during our wedding.
