For some reason or other, I kept seeing friends’ photographs on Facebook showing their baked garlic cheese prawns, not one but at least two or more…so I decided that I would do what they did and try to come out with the same. My girl was coming home for the weekend last Friday so I thought that would be a good time to do it.
I still had some of the batch that I bought to cook my tuak-intoxicated prawns for our family dinner a while ago so I took those and added finely-chopped garlic, grated cheese, a bit of butter, curry leaves and salt and pepper according to taste…
…and put that in the oven to bake.
All I could find in the fridge was half a block of Edam cheese that my girl bought and used to cook something a long time ago and even though it did seem to lack the fragrance and taste, I did not have much choice other than to use that. After around half an hour, it was done…
…but when I tasted it, it was very strong on the garlic and had no hint whatsoever that there was any cheese in it. The sauce, however, was really very very sweet with all the juices from the prawns. Ah well!!! It did taste pretty good so I guess that would be all that mattered.
My missus mentioned to me that my girl loved her sotong (squid) cooked with her own homemade kim chi but I had used up all that was left in the freezer. So that morning, we headed to the market to buy more of that and she cooked this…
…for our dinner that night alongside the prawns that I had come out with.
In the meantime, I also bought some more prawns and used a few for the vegetable dish – leek fried with prawns and egg…
I burnt it a bit…
…but thankfully, it was still all right – my girl said it was nicer with the added fragrance. Phewwwww!!!!
Good grief!!! It’s Friday again today and my girl would be back for the weekend. How time flies!!! Now, what shall I cook for her today?…
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
