We had Christine 's folks over for dinner tonight to celebrate her mom 's birthday . We cooked Thai - chicken satay in peanut sauce , and sea scallops and black rice with a mango Thai basil sauce . Christine also made a fantastic dessert of coconut ginger brownies with banana whiskey and mango lime sauces . I overcooked the scallops I think , but then again I prefer them raw .

Question: Why did we cook all of this for Christine 's folks ?
Answer: We wanted to show them what a real trip to Thailand is like .No special reason why we made the food .We usually make this food every night .We were trying to provide them with a good meal .
