As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools. They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion. Psalm 84:6-7 他 們 經 過 流 淚 谷 , 叫 這 谷 變 為 泉 源 之 地 ; 並 有 秋 雨 之 福 蓋 滿 了 全 谷 。 他 們 行 走 , 力 上 加 力 , 各 人 到 錫 安 朝 見   神 。

Esther and Eric's apartment revealed!!! + Shredded Chicken and scallop porridge in mushroom ham and chicken broth

Last night, for the first time, Esther and Eric's new apartment is finally caught on camera! As you can see from the pic on the left, there are no traces of any boxes that needed special cover up. They have completed the move (well, except for the room where Eric's office will be)!... so to speak...

Last night was also the first time Eric drank any alcohol in his entire life (really?). The good thing was that we were only drinking Green Apple Martinis which is a relatively light cocktail.

Okok, last night was also the first time for my special porridge to be tasted by anyone... it turned out pretty good. Everything was gone by the end of the night. And to think that we cooked a total of 5 cups of rice... wow.
Here it is! The Shredded Chicken and Scallop porridge with Mushroom ham and chicken broth.

We finished the entire pot!!! And I had to rserve two to go bowls. An empty pot means that I can use it again for other things. It's always good to have all the food finished since I hate leftovers. So thanks to Esther, Eric, Alvin, Angie, and Paoning for being the guinea pig this time. Next time when you guys cook, I'll be sure to return the same favor (errrr.... ok).

Anyways, let the pictures tell the story now. It was a great time!

This is the second stage now. The soup was done last night. Now it's ready to be heated up again to mate with the rice.
3 cup full of Japanese Royal Rice (the same ones used to make sushi)
And then we let the soup boil again... after boiling, turned the fire into simmering mode for about 20 minutes.
Good food, good company, need good drinks... Smirnoff Vodka with Apple Twist and Midori.
Alvin and me with the Green Apple Martini
Added dishes from Esther: Satay Beef, Mushroom Vegies, and Miso baked Salmon
Of course, can't forget dessert.
Oh o, the infamous male and female vitamin pack. See the story here.
