New Years! New Menu! Thorben switched the menu from steak to pork! I am not a big fan of pork, like pork belly and stuff because I don’t like to eat fatty stuff but when it come to Thorben is the cook then I believe it will be worth to try and worth to put my “I don’t eat this on my diet” aside 😉
It all started when Thorben still in Germany, he brought all the ingredients from there, wohoo I will eat 100% imported stuff, finally! I feel like a King haha. He wrote us the things that he brought with him.
Thorben always so German, he started to cook 24 hours before the day hahaha on Friday he blanched the kale, the 6kgs of kale #shocked!
Saw that it was a lot of kale, I asked Thorben how many people will it be? are we having a full house (read: 8 people)? and he said 12, so we will have an overload house! but my mathematical side came out, oh 12 people and 6kg of kale so each people got 2kg, should be OK. Mind people, it was in the morning, and my brain doesn’t work well in the morning with math’s issue haha 😉 but somehow Thorben’s brain works well in the morning haha he still on jetlag mode but he’s still able to corrected the math #face palm!
I arrived first, obviously haha who else it’s gonna be 😉 followed by Yves and handsome Freddoy, Boramy, Aggy and last one was Luis and Ben. Yves brought the beer from Luxembourg, Luis and Ben brought a lot of 胖叔 cakes *droollinnggg. Freddoy become more and more handsome and I just squeezed and hug him a lot so cute! 😉
Due to the table only has 8 chairs so they have extension table but this table was low, they called it baby chair and they want me to sit there but nope nope nope, Marlyn Praseli ain’t sitting on that chair, I need to sit on the middle, the center of all the food 😉
Thorben gave the explanation of what is what, we had pork belly, pork neck, sausages and not real sausages because we can’t eat the skin.
There was wayyyy a lot of food for everyone but for the beginning, we share the sausages and since I was sitting on the middle, I helped well… Yves said to me that I need to do the cutting of the sausages….. (hmmm it doesn’t sounds right….) but yeah I cut it up until the point where Rich asked me “Is it your plate or is it the cutting plate?” haha
I like pork neck the best because it’s not that fatty, Aggy and Boramy like the pork belly the most, Yves eat everything 😉 and surprisingly Thorben also prepare the dessert! wohooo when he said “I also have dessert” Freddy replied “But Marina is not here” hahaha 😉 Marinaaaaa come back pleaseee! Here is Thorben’s dessert!
We had the pink and yellow color: Rote Grütze mit Vanille Soße, the snow white bread: Christstollen, Marina cookies and whole Pain Chaud 😉
I was really really full after the dinner! Syuke came after we finished the dinner, he came for dessert and we just spread around after that. This home has many games! Thorben just bought I guess 6 packs of Cards Against Humanity! but we didn’t play that, we played the game called The Mind.
This game is rather odd hahaha, Thorben explained it and me, Aggy and Boramy was putting our hand so fast and so loud and he kept saying “We don’t need to put it that fast and loud” haha but still it’s the fun. Long story short, we sucks at the game, only until level 4, idk how Thorben played it with his family until level 8 hahaha. how how how?!?!
Then we heard a story of Boramy’s grandma and I got a conclusion that she is a magic grandma because when she was 85yo, somebody tried to robbed her but they failed miserably! Her grandma hitting him with her cane hahaha idk if I should laugh or how but I admire the courage of your grandma 😀 I’d better be nice to her, because like grandma like granddaughter (if this idiom does exist anyway hahaha)
And some people gone to another farewell party or birthday party, I was staying and played Awesomenauts with Thorben’s and then when I became confident with my skill, we increased the level and we suckssss! we need help from Brendan haha Brendan came after midnight with Nintendo switch and with Brendan we won some battle.
After that we played Mario Kart, at some point three of us became team, the goal is not to get caught because if you get caught you will be put on the prison and need the other team member to free you up. When Brendan say it, Thorben looked at me as if I’m the one that will be caught, hey guys! I know I’m not good at Mario Kart but….. haha and then 3-2-1 HA! BURN! Thorben and Brendan get caught first! Suddenly I felt like I’m the hero that saved both of them #proud of myself 😉
Then we moving on to another game, Mario Smash Bros Ultimate. We also choose characters, I was Kirby but then Thorben became Kirby and I was Pack Man. I thought it was also a team of three of us, but Idk why Brendan was kicking Thorben and he said “Because he is kicking me” and then I realized that 3 of us were enemies and should attack each other hahaha
Then, after so many yawned, it was 3 AM! It’s time to go home, while we were getting out of Thorben’s, Brendan said that Thorben’s apartment is really good and really big, does he need a roomate?! and I said “HA! if he ever need a roomate, I will be the first one that apply! Brendan replied “He won’t choose you, you’re too intense!” well well, I don’t think he’ll choose you either! 😉
What a good food at the beginning of the year with the best people in town 😉
Thanks Thorben for the dinner, NEXT! HAHAHA 😉
