Summer Dinner

I write this having just bade “good night” to our dinner guest, the lovely Katyboo. Though I say it myself the food, the company and the conversation was rather good.

Steamed English Asparagus and Jersey Royal Potatoes
dressed with butter and flaked Parmesan

Smoked Chicken, Broad Bean & Pasta Salad
with Tomato, Rocket & Avocado
Served with a Lemon & Garlic Dressing

Alcoholic Summer Fruit Salad with Clotted Cream
(Nectarine, Blueberries & Raspberries marinated in Cherry Brandy)

Coffee & Florentines

Washed down with a couple of bottles of excellent
Louis Jadot Beaujolais-Villages

All devised and prepared by me. Yes, I am showing off ‘cos I’ve eaten a lot, lot worse in expensive restaurants.  And I don’t think I need eat again for a week! Hic!

Somehow, too, we seem to have magically added another branch to the extended family.  

As Samuel Pepys might have said “A good day.  And so to bed.”
