Homemade Self-Test: The wine was good to everyone
When I read recently that according to a study by Elitepartner.de 76 percent of all men find attractive women who can cook well, I was once again very happy that I am already married. I think that noodles with butter and cheese are quite a complicated dish. I once served salmon and cucumber sandwiches in the afternoon and pretended that it was a motto ("The Queen eats that every afternoon?") So as not to stand in the way of other people. That's why I've been trying to postpone an invitation for weeks: Our friends Paromita and Peter are both real chefs at the stove. She not only produces Indian curries like a pro in no time, but also bakes bread, he can even make intricate cakes and chocolates and is one of the few people around me who own a spiral cutter.
"The table decoration is shabby rather than chic, but I still like it?
Unfortunately, I have little time for preparation because Paro and Peter are quite busy people, and when I ask them when they can: "In the next two weeks, only tomorrow? reply. So you come on a Wednesday when I have to work, and my children and I have a visit in the afternoons. It starts semi optimally. I have to improvise. What can I get? Is not it all about making something on your own? That all are full and have enough to drink?
I opt for salmon lasagna? until I realize that it takes too long. Spaghetti with shrimp, garlic and chilli are also a fancy meal, right? In addition there is lamb's lettuce with mushrooms and Parmesan, as a dessert cheese, grapes and homemade mousse au chocolat. White wine ordered my husband recently. The best we drink before the meal ...
When the two arrive, I push them first a glass in the hand. "The wine tastes very good !? says Paro. Phew. First hurdle taken. The table looks pretty, says Peter. In fact, I tried hard. Originally I wanted to use a tablecloth, but found only a crumpled white thing in the closet, which unfortunately was not useful. Nevertheless, it is festive for my circumstances: There are pink napkins, the old wine glasses of my grandma, to white plates, silverware and a pitcher of water. In the middle is a flower vase with pink gerbera. It's more shabby than chic, but I like it. As we sit, Peter says: "Original idea such a mushroom salad ?. "They have a lot of vitamin C," I reply. You do not have to point out that this is actually a lamb's lettuce with mushrooms, tomatoes and Parmesan, which is very mushroom-heavy, because the existing salad somehow has become very little by the whole plucking.
Fortunately, the salad is eaten quickly. Paromita apparently has a soft spot for mushrooms (or wants to push her vitamin C budget), she wants more of my somewhat appetitive appetizer creation. I am relieved when everyone is eating the spaghetti. Fortunately, there are enough of them. My biggest fear is that eating is not enough, that someone can not get enough. When I give the noodles another portion of salt, Paromita does it to me. But that can happen to anyone, right? Better than too much, I think.
"I can not mix cream and egg whites? and then read that this does not work?
When dessert says my husband: "I think that's very good with the chocolate pieces.? I do not understand what he means. Until I bite myself on the size of a mini knight sport and remember that at lunch time I only had half an hour for dessert. Apparently I did not melt the chocolate for the mousse au chocolat properly. This special effect is not intentional, but everyone seems to find it good. Lucky. Chefkoch.de classified Mousse au Chocolat by the way as simple, I have already built in the second step, the first faux pas. Instead of beating cream and egg whites separately, can I get everything together? and then read that this does not work. In the end, I put a very liquid brown mush in the fridge, but after two hours it turned into a dessert-like mass. A dream. Together with raspberries, the whole thing looks good. I am proud.
During our meal, our girlfriend on her cell phone is promised a new job she's been waiting for all day. We open the next bottle, eat grapes and cheese and continue drinking. Actually, I thought that everyone wants to go to bed early, because we have to get out tomorrow, but our friends stay because it's just so nice. At the end we eat another mousse au chocolat and then pombären to even more wine. Of course they are not homemade and not exactly a culinary highlight, but I do not care about that? Paromita loves the little chip bulls and is more than happy about the new job.My conclusion: Beginner noodles, little salt and mousse to bite back and forth? we had fun and a lot of good wine. The rest is not so important.
