Bitter melon cheesecake? Say it ain't so!
I am so sad. Not sure what to do... I also believe I've run out of strength. I think I'll just be subdued.
Jon's sent out something for his birthday dinner - I can't believe I'm going to eat at Jeremy's three weeks out of four, which is pretty cool. :D
So it's my birthday this coming Sunday. My typical response to this is to go out and eat at a restaurant somewhere. However, the table is usually so long that it's difficult for people to chat with each other. That, and eating out can be expensive.
So this year, we're celebrating my birthday by having the Sunday dinner to end all Sunday dinners. Well, we won't be eating foie gras or abalone or anything that pricey, but hopefully we can have a whole bunch of people over at Jeremy's house to enjoy some good home-cooked food. Those of you who've had Jer's cooking know that it's pretty quality, sometimes eclectic, and always tasty. We haven't decided what yet to make, but we're brainstorming and would love any suggestions. Here's a few already:
curry (that's pretty generic since you can make a million different varieties)
some seasonal vegetable dish. Maybe more squashes and yam fries
soup?
some meat dish
bitter melon cheesecake
durian delight topped with stinky tofu and natto.
On top of the food that we're going to make I'm also enlisting Christon to make his yummy udon dish and Nathan to make some wacky salad dressing with whatever happens to be in the fridge. So expect a kimchi apple cider vinegar homebrew concoction of some sort. Maybe we can also have someone in charge to do drinks as well.
Here's the catch: Eating at home tends to be pretty affordable. Eating out... well, not always, unless your destination is Bon's. We're going to split the costs by charging everyone $15 up front to cover the costs of the ingredients. The rest of the $ will be given to a worthy cause somewhere, maybe to an organization that's situated in the Downtown Eastside so you can certainly donate more than $15 if you wish. On top of that, Jer and I will try to make sure that our food is local, seasonal, and bought from a local grocery store. So you can feel good about what we're eating on many accounts.
Ah, Nathan's wacky salad dressing... YAY! Not so sure about the bitter melon cheesecake and the durian topped with stinky tofu and natto, but it IS the birthday boy's choice... *raised eyebrow*
