we had the most fun on saturday night!!
let me tell you about it.
our friends kristin & aaron (on the left), zach & ann-victoria, and nick & i had the first monthly cook-off for dinner. each couple brought 4 ingredients of their choice, then we drew names to see whose set of ingredients each couple would get. then we made something out of it, including necessary staple items like flour, sugar, oil, etc.
we came up with some really tasty creations!!
nick & i ended up with angel hair pasta, green olives, cashews & fresh spinach.
we turned those into a stir-fry with soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and other chinese-y spices. i wasn't optimistic, but it was actually great!
aaron & kristin had chicken, raisins, cabbage & apples.
they created a apple,cabbage, raisin stuffed chicken concoction that i could easily have imagined in a restaurant somewhere. so good!
ann-victoria & zach had canned pineapple, canned cherries, oatmeal & almonds.
they expertly turned them into individual pastries that were incredible.
we were all the winners. not only was the end result amazing, but we had so much fun doing it along the way!
and we all had so many ideas of ways to improve the general concept with our next month's rendition of the couples cook-off.
i can't wait!
p.s. kristin's having a baby!!!
