I spent most of Saturday preparing food for the dinner party. It was a good day and I enjoyed the cooking.
Our guests were Lynne, Peter and Sim, and of course Evan.
Here's the menu:
- Focaccia
- Roasted peppers stuffed with tuna and capers
- Pear and Parmesan carpaccio
- Grilled duck breasts with marmalade glaze and potato rosti
- Chocolate and Marsala cake (made by Adrian) with raspberry and hazelnut ice-cream
- White chocolate, pistachio and basil truffles
and here's some food porn!

Today the day was less enjoyable.
I wasted the whole afternoon and part of the evening trying to figure out why I couldn't connect to the internet from my desktop, after installing MfAfee security package.
I tried everything and in the end I had to restore the registry configuration from Saturday.
Things seemed to work then stopped again... Aargh!!! At present, it is working but who knows at the next reboot?
