For Jen’s birthday weekend, we invited some friends over for dinner on Saturday night.\u00a0 Jen always like to cook up a storm for dinner guests but she had to change up her game a bit this weekend as two of our friends recently switched to a vegetarian diet.<\/p>\n

Jen decided to make a ratatouille and cous cous dish and she prepared it in the style shown in the Pixar film Ratatouille<\/em>, which itself is based on an interpretation of the dish created by French Laundry chef Thomas Keller.\u00a0 It looked pretty kick ass when she finished slicing and dicing.<\/p>\n

It was quite a merry night to say the least.\u00a0 You may remember that I spent a day at a microbrewery<\/a> in July and the three crates of beer from that particular excursion arrived on Saturday.\u00a0 A few days earlier, our wine collection that we won from our online auction<\/a> also arrived.\u00a0 Lastly, being a very social whisky drinker, I was keen to have a few rounds of the new single malts that I picked up in Scotland.<\/p>\n

After a big Saturday night that finished up around 3am after watching the Wallabies last gasp win over South Africa, we had a nice quiet Sunday indoors as it was chucking down with rain.\u00a0 So what better way to pass time on a lazy Sunday afternoon that building a 3,000 piece puzzle depicting the bombardment of the Algiers<\/em>?<\/p>\n
