Dinner

I say yesterday's dinner was excellent!
How we even came up with the idea of having dinner together was incredibly random.
There I was popping my frozen lasagne into the oven, and Fraser started describing to me about how to make it. and there I was standing, starring at him in a confused manner.
and he was like " I know it sounds complicated, but it's really easy to make!"
and that was how it started, and how the three of us, me, Amy, and Fraser decided to cook dinner together.
First there was the matter of deciding on the time!
Tuesdays..
went knocking on their doors to look for a suitable time.
THURSDAY-- day of cooking.
I was supposed to be on call. So I went back after classes, to cut up the chicken meat and peppers so that I could cook them straightaway when I come back.
I went back to the paediatrics ward again after that.
But there were no patients around!
I was wandering aimlessly around the ward, which caused the nurse to ask me if I was looking for something.
Decided to go home, since there was nothing else to do.
They were just going off to buy the raw food.
We trotted down to Fraser's car, and I went in the backseat, and *gasp* I forgot to wear my seatbelt! (FYI you need to fasten your seatbelt even if you are in the backseat in UK) and we sped off to tescos with blaring music from the stereo system.
The tescos we went to was this really huge, 24-hour one, which I have never been to before situated in the retail centre.
So we walked around and bought all our stuff. We got most of our food stuff on offer.
Returned back to cook. First the frying of the beef with tomatoes, and the white sauce, and the hard work and sore arms from grating the cheese.
Our immense efforts finally paid off.
Just standing there, with the smell of lasagne slowly wafting into your nostrils....
Fraser and Amy went off to the common room to nick a table so we could lay our food on.
and dinner was served....
First course was french bread eaten with our own butters respectively.
followed by the delicious lasagne, and stir fried peppers cooked by yours truly :)
and to polish of the meal was a delicious belgian chocolate cheesecake.
Absolutely divine and melt in your mouth :)
Fraser was evil and cut me a totally huge slice.
I told him that he reminded me of Miss Trunchbull in Matilda, forcing the fat boy to eat the whole chocolate cake.
I did finish the cake in the end, if you were wondering.
To cap off the evening, we gathered in Amy's room and watched the movie hot fuzz together. It's some british comedy, which Fraser found absolutely hilarious.
