Amazing Fish Burritos by Chef AN

It was another wonderful time getting together with the girls (missing 2 girls), exactly a month after the last gathering. We try to have a meet-up at least once a month for all of us, just to catch up and gossip. Of course some of us also meet up on other days/weeks as and when. That required less co-ordination work than the monthly get-together. All of us made the effort to try to make it though sometimes it can be tough to get everyone together.

We don't really need an excuse to meet but it is nice to have a theme too :p So March is to celebrate AN's move to her new abode plus watching I Love Lucy dvds (our gift to her). I love how AN has done up the place and it is a very inviting home.

Our lunch ~ a simple meal of fish burritos and cucumber salad and lime mayonnaise + fries ~ made by AN. Home-cooked food is still the best :)

We had bubbly too ~ Zibibbo Rosa from Brown Brothers. My favorite brand of wine. A sparkling fruity pink wine with strawberries and watermelon. So good and refreshing on such a hot afternoon.

Fish burritos ~ tortilla with snapper fillet and cucumber salad and lime mayonnaise. Recipes from Bill Granger. I love the scent and taste of cilantro which was in both the fish and salad. It simply made the mouth water in anticipation.

After a very satisfying and tummy bursting lunch, we moved over to watch some episodes of I Love Lucy. One episode "Job Switching" got us commenting that some things never change in the role of men/women. Even though almost 50 years separated that episode and now, it is still quite universal that there are 2 types of persons when it comes to money ~ spender and the earner aka wife and husband. Hahahahaha.

It just happened that of the 4 mummies, all are stay-at-home moms, so I guess they (we) could really relate to what happened in that episode where the men thought it was easy to be a housewife and just cook and clean and wash and iron. It was funny.

Then it was dessert time. Home baked brownies using Bill Granger's recipe with a pot of floral fruity tea.
The brownie was sticky chewy with crispy edges. So delicious especially when served warm and paired with vanilla ice cream. It was so good that I had another helping.

Thank you AN for inviting us to your gorgeous new pad and for making a wonderful lunch.
