At the end of last year we decided on a kitchen (and laundry area) makeover, because the 15 year-old spaces had seen better days. It was scheduled for two weeks, but then the numerous public holidays got in the way and it stretched on for another three weeks, well into the new year. It was pretty chaotic and 'challenging', especially dealing with the dust at the end of each day when the workmen had left. Anyway it is all done now and last Saturday we belatedly celebrated with dinner (cooked in the new kitchen) and a movie night at home. It was fun but tiring too, so I'm resting my feet till the next time!

Dinner was white rice with barramundi in hot and sour stew aka
ikan siakap asam pedas, chicken curry with potatoes and carrots (B's specialty), french beans, carrot and prawns in coconut milk (
masak lemak le), Chinese cabbage sauteed in soya sauce, fried barramundi, fried chicken and Shirazi salad (Iranian style salad from Shiraz). For dessert it was fruits and ice cream. And what movie did we watch after dinner? There was a child in the house, so we watched
Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked!
