Lunch
9 pm and we have just finished washing up.
Lunch was a success: Carlos, Jim, Ross, Wills had a good time and enjoyed the food and drinks (almost 6 bottles - average of 1 each). And so did Adrian and myself.
This was the menu:
Peppers and prawns in creamy spicy sauce (my own recipe, created after eating somthing similar at Mamma Amalfi a few years back) with potato bread (from Nigella Lawson's "How to be a domestic goddess").
Tomato, onion and cheese tarts (10 out of 10 to Adrian for these)
Chicken breasts stuffed with mozzarella and tomato served with French bean salad (from Carluccio's "Italian feast")
Rhubarb and orange crumble
Honey chocolate cake (from Nigella Lawson's "Feast").
The cake turned out really lovely: I wasn't sure yesterday when I was making it but it was yummy.
The marzipan and almond bees looked great - and the bee/honey theme was very fitting for a bear picnic! (well lunch).
