Come Dine With Me – Kaycee’s night

It was Kaycee’s turn to cook a three course meal for our second Come Dine With Me night and we invited granddad again.

Kaycee’s 2 years older than Ella and she made 95% of the meal herself. She served an open sandwich with apple chutney, cheese and ham, garnished with a cherry tomato, ham and cheese mini kebab for her starter.
She was supposed to be making bread with her dad but he had to go on a call out. When she realised he’d gone and they hadn’t made bread, she said, ‘it’s fine, I can make it on my own’, so she did!

It was absolutely gorgeous.

For her main meal, she made sticky chicken, buttered new potatoes and a side salad.

Her dessert was a homemade brownie with caramel cream sauce and it was To. Die. For.

Ant doesn’t usually bother much with desserts but even he wanted seconds!

We all really enjoyed Kaycee’s games evening after dinner. We played Beetle first, which granddad won, followed by pontoon.

We used Monopoly money to bet with 🙂

With just a 2 point lead, Kaycee won the competition, again! If you want to try real betting, you can try your luck on Asian version of sbobet.”

Come dine with me – Ella’s night

The girls love playing, Come Dine With Me, they picked it as one of their summer bucket list activities. When we first played, we started off with them making a course each (when Aiden was here) and we’d score each course. Now they want to make the whole three courses themselves and arrange the entertainment for the evening! First, it’s Ella’s night.

Ella did her night first. She served pea and ham soup with home made bread rolls for the starter, cheese and bacon salad for the main and cupcakes for dessert. Her theme was Halloween so she decorated her cupcakes with black icing and silver sprinkles.

For her entertainment, we had to sing along to the Ghostbusters theme tune, This is Halloween, from The Nightmare Before Christmas and Monster Mash.

We have Granddad over for dinner on Thursday so he got to experience the Come Dine With Me night and he really got into singing Ghostbusters, which made everyone laugh 🙂
