portuguese for a night

we had another lab gathering on may 8th...this time is at christophe's place

:)

and by now i bet you guys dont need me to repeat who is who since i've been mentioning and repeating the same guys in all our lab gatherings...

i know it's way overdue but too bad i'm just too busy from then till lately with all my summer activities going on!!

:D

on the may 7th night, alexandre, christophe and i (my usual hang out gang for now :D) went to do some grocery shopping at hy-vee and settled at christophe's place for a movie...

may 8th,

i joined alexandre to help christophe at 4.45pm...

dropped by supersaver to get more olive oil, helped to make dessert, clean the place etc...

at 6pm, the dinner started...

chef christophe in action

love 1- appetizer: baguette with chopped tomatoes and garlic with olive oil

from the recipe

vs

from the chef...

we have a winner, dont we?

obviously christophe's dish is more appealing and mouth watering right???

love 2- entree: bacalhau assado a alentejana

for recipe, ask me personally cz it's in portuguese and it will be lengthy to include it here :)

bacalhau usually does not go with rice but this time he served us with rice...and hard boiled eggs...

love 3- drinks: green wine from portugal

advice from alex turned out to be burnt dessert!

love 4- dessert: i forgot the name =/

how not to love lab gatherings!!!

christophe managed to prepare from appetizer to dessert!

he's really a good cook...*thumbs up*

:)

since we work in the lab...

we also play games related to the lab!

how nerdy we are

:p

monopoly by fisher scientific!

lovely tokens: flask, bunsen burner, microscope, manual, weight

alexandre working very hard to convince gregor that he had 2 freebies while the rest said it was 1...really funny!!!

hang out until 4 am....
