The hubby isn't the type that celebrates occasions. For Mother's day, he even asked me what I wanted to do! But we did have a nice Sunday lunch after church at this little place called "Royals and Rice" which served Vietnamese food. Their Vietnamese turned out to be more Asian than anything, but I was glad to have clear beef soup and fried wantons for a change. Anything is probably better than German food, which we've concluded isn't anything to shout about!
The eatery had comfy sofas, and a rather nice view of the church next to it:
And the mango pannacotta was decent.
And at night, the hubby declared he would do the cooking and washing up for a change. (These days I have been cooking everyday since eating out isn't cheap. W usually only eat out for Sunday lunches and sometimes Saturday lunches, so not having to stand at a stove/sink was quite a nice change.) So I hung around with the kids and read to them, while he pottered in the kitchen and came up with this:
It turned out pretty good, and he cooked everything without referring to any recipes... save for the rhubarb sauce which I had stewed up the day before:

All in all, quite a pleasant way to spend the day with family. But of course, what I'm most thankful for would be having the opportunity to just spend time with those 3 boys of mine!

ReplyDeleteMy hubby also isn't the romantic kind that will put too much thoughts into celebrating special occasions.. so I was very touched this year. But your hubby seems like a good cook :) I love all the pics in this post too!
