Great taste!

Greetings from CBC and housemate's dinner-party afternoon!

Isn't he clever! He made all this! Most of it came from the Morro cookbook.
Leftovers have formed my packed lunch for 4 days!

Seared tuna with pistachios

Pinenut and pumpkin gallettes

French beans and mangetout with orange and nut dressing.

Papaya salsa! Lovely!

There was a feta salad from a guest!

Endives and serrano ham in a gorgeous creamy sauce.

Homous and olives

Fennel with dill- I hate fennel usually but this was dreamy!

A garlicky auberginey salad with pomegranate on top!

Roasted butternut squash and spinach

Butterbean, pepper, coriander and rocket salad.

Local made rustic tomato bread.

Foccacia

Lamb, pinenuts, herbs and potato cakes! And other ingredients!  Fragrant, amazing!
Desserts were lovely too!

Here I am clad in my lovely birthday presssie from CBC a cute little French dress from Windup bird at Spitalfields. It bears the hallmark of classic Kezzie favourites- nautical/naval/sailor theme and the more unusual addition of a mustard bow! He chose well! Worn with Red-or-dead Lovebird shoes, Primark black butterfly tights, red beret (handmade by Mummy) and navy Primark cardie. Red beads? Twas the perfect Spring outfit!

And I wore it with his other birthday present to me: A beautiful rich blue cape with detachable scarf!  I loved it! It was perfect for his sunny afternoon party!

(There was to be a barbecue as well but the Weber barbecue bricks refused to do anything!!!)

Which dish do you fancy?!

Post scoff. The face says, "Get looooooorst, I want to go and eat more food when you aren't looking!" Strangely enough, everyone else was really stuffed afterwards but evidently, I paced myself because I kept going back for more!
