You guys, I cooked the most awesome dinner tonight. *Beams proudly*
Sister made little twirly poofs for starters - red pesto and grated parmesan on puff pastry baked in teeny spirals. I was going to make soup, but then it turned out there out to be ten of us, and that's some serious bowls, so we turned the watercress and rocket into salad instead. I made lemony mustard dressing, and that's all fine.
Then we did a stuffed salmon with garden herbs, coriander and lemon, and baked it for great protein; and I did spicy-sweet vegetable tagine, with interesting toasted spices and tomatoes, sweet potatoes and fennel and garlic and ginger and chilli and pureed dates and things; with shallot, spring onion and pistachio couscous. Nom.
Oh, and we baked lemon and ginger cheesecake and served it with fresh raspberry coulis and double cream. Uh-huh.
We're so good.
Alas, now I am drunk of wine. Goodnight!
