Our 3rd Anniversary Celebration

For our anniversary this year, we decided to stay in and have a home-cooked dinner instead of the usual 'going-out-for-dinner-at-a-fancy-place'.

Since Yaacob has never cooked for me [except for Maggi Mee, which doesn't count!] in the 3 years that we're together, it means so much more to me that we prepare the meal together.

With some help [ok, actually a LOT of help] from his parents, who are both excellent at cooking, we had a fantastic time getting the food ready.

We had mushroom soup, salad with thousand island dressing made by Yaacob's mom, mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, steak with brown sauce [also made by Yaacob's mom] & ice cream for dessert.

My contribution? The 2 pints of Baskin Robbins ice cream and the salad. I helped cut, wash and prepare the vegetables. Yaacob helped make the soup and he sorta helped cook the steak as well.

After dinner, we watched 'The Time Traveller's Wife' on DVD while enjoying soft-baked chewy chocolate chip cookies and milk. The movie is very touching. I cried at the end of the movie coz the ending was so sad :( Now I feel like getting the book to see which is better, the book or the movie. I like comparing stuff like this :P

I really enjoyed myself. This beats going out for dinner anytime. I have a great time in the kitchen getting the food ready, I enjoyed having dinner with his family and stayin in for quality time with him.
