Reunion Dinner 2010

We used to dine out for reunion dinner but since last year we started to have it at home and we actually enjoyed the food more than at the restaurant. So this year we did the same. We had a sumptous steamboat dinner. Steamboat is the easiest meal to prepare and the only hassle is the marketing and cutting. This year looked like I prepared too much food for a family of 10 and we only managed to finish half of it. However, I'm relieved that the leftover was not wasted as we managed to finish it in the next few days.
