Ex. 5. Preparing for guests
A. Read and translate the text.
When I invite friends for a meal I always like to prepare as
much as possible in advance. Last week, for example, I wanted to
serve soup, fried chicken with vegetables and potatoes and an apple-
cake to go with the after-dinner coffee.
The day before I prepared the vegetables for the soup: carrots
had to be washed and chopped up fine, onions peeled and sliced
and some fresh parsley chopped and then put in the refrigerator.
I boiled a chicken in the pressure-cooker and when it was done
I lifted it out onto a dish. I added the vegetables and rice to the liquid
with a little salt, pepper and dried thyme. When the chicken was
cold, I sliced it, removing all the bones. Some of the meat the liver
and the heart were chopped up and added to the soup.
Then I peeled the potatoes, enough to serve some plain boiled
and some to be creamed with milk and butter. I wanted to serve
sprouts with the fried chicken. I decided to buy them fresh from the
market the next day.
Next I prepared the apple cake. Butter, sugar, eggs and flour,
were soon mixed with the electric mixer. I peeled and chopped four
large apples and added them to the mixture, put it in a buttered
cake-tin and baked it in the oven.
The next day I had little to do, I reheated the soup and sprinkled
the fresh parsley over it just before serving. I washed the sprouts and
boiled them with some butter and fried the chicken slices in butter,
too. I didn’t make a sauce but used the butter from the frying-pan to
pour over the boiled potatoes. I sprinkled my apple-cake with icing-
sugar and cinnamon and served it with whipped cream. It was a
delicious meal.
