of dinners and my new mixer

[[A fresh start to my bout of cooking and baking]]

Today was the first day I attempted to use my new oven. Cooked a simple dinner for Yvonne since she was coming by my new place. Now the meals that I prepare are all about simplicity. I figured that you really have to enjoy the whole cooking process and not tire yourself out too much even when cooking for people.

I was really pleased to find these cute baby potatoes ( see below) at the supermarket so I decided to get them for my roast potatoes and bacon side. Bought yellow and green bell peppers. It's a pity I can't get the red one if not they will make beautiful sets of "traffic lights" at my dinner table.

I love my bell peppers char-grilled. Their original sweet flavour is brought out fully- without much other ingredients or flavouring. It's simple yet absolutely lovely. Glad that Yvonne likes it even though she doesn't like bell peppers.

For the mains, I did pan fried peppered lemon salmon. This one was nice. I love the idea of cooking the salmon with the lemons- it softens the lemon and allows the juices to envelop the salmon. It also works well for decorative purpose. =)

Dinner was good and we had a good laugh reminiscing of our former jc days- talking about our tutors, our past antics, and the education system in Singapore.

Oh did I mention, I finally received my kitchenaid mixer last afternoon. That's GREAT news! I can't wait to bake!!
