BBQ on Father's Day 2008

It has been 2 weeks since we celebrated Father's Day. 3 great years as a father for hubby Mal. Mal has been a wonderful daddy to sunny boy, always spending time with him whenever he can, bringing him out for walks/cycling and also wiping him every nite (almost) before sunny boy sleeps. They both have a good bond and that's what matters most.

I decided to have a simple BBQ at home for Mal. We invited Mal's mom to join us. Mal and I both lost our dads to cancer years ago. So Father's Day will only always be just "us".

I didnt want to spend too much time on the hot grill, so I made skewer chicken and shrimps instead of the famous chicken wings and lamb chop. Skewer food cook much faster and are easier to digest.

List of food:
-mushroom soup (forgot to take a pix of this yummy soup)
-sandwich rolls (first time making this, and it was a disaster! throw at the wall, the wall will crack :) But luckily it's meant for dipping in the soup, so it was edible. Mom-in-law actually said it tastes good. Sunny boy enjoyed it too.
-salad with dijon and white wine vinegar dressing
-chilli lime shrimp skewers
-pineapple, mushrooms, and chicken wrapped in bacon skewers
and last of all, Mal's favourite jumbo pork hotdogs

Mal starting the fire. You didnt think we'd use a real BBQ pit did you? We are small time bbq'ers, we only use the satay grill. Works well for small amount of food.

Mom-in-law looking on. hey that's me there with sunny boy :)

We managed to finish up all the food. We were stuffed actually. So anyone still have space for some delicious durian cheesecake?? I made this following the recipe in Aunty Yochana's blog. Very delicious I tell you. Everyone loved it. You should give it a try. It's easy to make. Just make sure to get good quality durians.
