New Dish: Kebab with Aglio Olio!

I've officially worked for a week now, and matt has worked for 2 days! It has been an exciting week for us both, and we're both very happy with our jobs on the whole. Colleagues have been more than nice on both sides, and the working environment can't be better. We're truly grateful to God and we hope that we can fulfill the calling God has given us in our workplaces. There's definitely a lot to learn each day. Sometimes, I feel really lost but i guess it takes time to learn. Hopefully, both of us will be able to learn the ropes well and enjoy our work.

So, this is our very first weekend being officially employed. I've heard from many working people about how precious weekends are when work commences. We had a lot of sleep and rest which makes me feel like a lazy bag of bones. I initiated to cook dinner for dear yesterday night, and after some thinking, I decided to try making kebab with Aligo Olio using Angel Hair pasta. I googled 'kebab' a little and found some recipes using orange juice to marinate. Having a packet of orange juice at home, I decided to go ahead and experiment. Did my own combination of ingredients like lemon, honey, soy sauce, garlic etc, which was the fun part. However, I don't have a grill back home so i simply just used an oven. It didn't turn out brown and a little charred which was what i expected, but the chicken was cooked just nicely and the flavour was tangy and nice. But i think the flavour can be a little bit more intense...maybe i should add sweetened orange juice instead cos i used an unsweetened one haha. Aglio Olio turned out okay...but no where close to dear's standard! He cooks really good aglio olio! A weird combination i know, but we had a bowl of fish soup supplemented by my maid haha. It was a nice, homely dinner!

We're both looking forward to our 2nd week of work! This coming tuesday will be special cos it'll be a double celebration - our commencement + our 42th monthsary! Because we're both in different courses, it's really a real blessing to have both our convocation ceremony on the same day, same time, same venue! We'll be 2 rows apart! (: And on that day itself, we'll be having dinner together with both our families. It has never really happened before, so it's gonna be exciting!
