Saturday Entertaining

We had friends over for lunch on Saturday. My friend has two young children and a husband who is not a Malaysian, so my plans for cooking an easy and simple laksa didn't work out! Instead, I decided to cook a simple chicken pie, roast sweet potatoes with gravy on the side and assemble a large plateful of salad with avocado and eggs with lemon dressing.

We had fresh lilies on the table to complete the beautifully set table which Gaz kindly did for me.

 

My friends loved the simple flavours of fresh salad leaves, ripe avocado and hard boiled eggs with lemon dressing. Their children finished the salad, which is a testament to how well behaved they were! Not many young children like eating their veges!

After lunch, the children entertained themselves watching Elmo laugh hysterically on the ground while the adults talked and browsed through the wedding pics. Gaz had bought me the Elmo TMX three birthdays ago which, when pressed on the tummy or leg, goes through a routine of laughing and rolling around on the ground. The kids LOVED him! It's amazing to see that one single toy could keep them entertained for so long!
