The Simpleton of Food

Every once a week or so, hubby and I would have a simple meal of “oven food” as we call it. These are the days when both of us are out the whole day and are back only at night; and by that it is a late night at 9.30 pm after a day in Almere.

Most of the time, we are tired and do not feel like cooking. We would then salvage anything we can find from the freezer as good, old dinner. We have in our freezer chicken nuggets, hash browns, Asian Mix (a potpourri of different finger food) and Indian-spiced French fries.

The food would take about 20 minutes to be ready from the oven. We would then relax on our sofa, look into each other’s eyes romantically and wait for the food to be ready. Then when the oven bell rings signifying the food is all baked, we would look into each other’s eyes again; this time quizzing – now, who will take the food out of the oven and lay the table proper?

 My favourite finger food is the big, round hash brown in the right hand side of the photo . They contain basil, onions and potatoes.

Our dinner arranged fine dining style. I'm always impressed with the way contestants in Master Chef arranged their palate so I hope this does impress Gordan Ramsey!

To tell our dear reader something, our sofa is really that comfortable! Cottony and soft; we have also placed a Dutch sheep skin rug on it. The sheep skin rug warms us up from a cold autumn.

That aside, all said and done, we have dinner together. Dips of mayonnaise and chilli sauce does wonders to add sizzle! Normally we have salad to go with it but on that particular day when the photos were taken, we did not have salad. So if my mother is reading this, she would probably shake her head!
