Shit… That’s a lot of fucking food. *lol*
However, like the mighty Iron Chefs in their Kitchen Stadium, so too will Al and I concoct these dishes for our guests in a most hurried fashion (roughly 4 hours time). =)
I will definitely post photos (most likely a bunch of drunken ones) the next day after I get out of work.
Yes…
I have to go in New Years Day.

Ok see.. now THAT makes me hungry!!
-Wow. I’m impressed. If I lived closer, I would offer
to help. I *heart* cooking. Would you invite me if I
lived closer?
-I also want to ask about some of the menu items, as
I am unfamiliar with some of them.
What is:
~Beef massaman
~Spanish Sweet Chicken
~Chicken Tonkatsu
*drool* Your guests will be stoked with all the good eats 🙂
Yum… I’m eating with you!
We’ll be there! 😀
damnit I wanna go:(
Impressive!
Oh that sounds sooo good!
Drunk pictures? I can’t wait!!!
But of course I would! Just BYOB and we’re all sorts of ready for a great party!!! =)
Ahhh, okies:
Beef Massaman = Massaman is a type of Thai curry. So that’ll be a sort of beef tips in a curry sauce.
Chicken Tonkatsu = This I actually mistyped. It should be Chicken Katsu with Tonkatsu sauce. Essentially it’s a breaded filet of chicken with a sweet reddish sauce.
Spanish Sweet Chicken = Actually, I’m just guessing with that one. My g/f made up the recipe and she calls it sweet chicken. It’s pretty much chicken in a very very very very sweet brown sauce. I just added the Spanish for the allure… =)
I hope so! =)
Hehe! I’ll save you guys a couple of plates. =)
Naice!!! Just bring a nice bottle of wine and we’re all set!
Dang… =( I wish you were there!
Hehe, thanks! Yeah, I haven’t participate din too many drunk pictures since I left college. *lol* Figured I needed some more.
I’m coming to your place. 😀
