Last night we had our first formal dinner party. Not only in the new house but the first for years. In fact we couldn't really remember when we had last done one. Our guests were Pauline and Neil and we started outside on the patio. A couple of bottles of bubbles and some marinated olives. It got a little cool but it was nice out there.
KISA put some nice music on the media centre for the evening.
Then we christened the new dining table with a posh meal and a very nice bottle of red that The Magster brought us from Melbourne, plus another bottle of red that our guests brought, which we will enjoy again tonight as there is a bit left. It was lovely. We had a
prawn pate for starter,
Lamb Shanks, mashed potato and broccolini for mains and
Jaffa Cake and fresh raspberries for dessert. Followed by coffee, tea and some cheese.
It was a lovely evening with lovely guests. I really enjoyed planning and cooking for it as well. We will be doing this again. It is liberating to spend the weekend doing something like this instead of the work we had to do at the old place.
