Today was our chefs day off, and so it was down to me to cook something special as a way of thanks for all the really top class meals she prepares for me and our family. The meal has now been given the name of 'Wim-Wams' because throughout the day I was forever being asked what I was making for tea. Now I happen to know that when our chef was a young girl she used to forever ask her mother(Peg) what she was cooking for tea. Peg would invariably reply, "wim-wams". I think this used to satisfy the young Christine who would run off happily to play, hop-skip-and-jump until her tea was ready.
The meal of Wim-Wams consisted of, large prawns, mussels, small tomatoes, bean sprouts fried quickly in a wok in a rich sauce of ginger, garlic, & 5 chinese spices (yes, from Tesco's). Plus a diet buster of freshly baked garlic bread, all washed down with a Spanish wine from La Mancha.
So what did this gourmet meal score?.....8.5/10. Not bad. May have scored higher if I'd supplied serviettes, and a better candle!
