Today my dear friend Bonnie came for lunch. I found the first few sweet peas and arranged them in a pretty vase for the table. I made some creamy mayonnaise and on the strength of that made coleslaw and a tangy potato salad. That veggie box contained some lovely peppers which were splashed with olive oil and roasted. Boiled eggs are always a treat for me so they came out too. There was a mixed green salad, tomatoes, and soused cucumber. And to top it all a salmon fillet each. For pudding we had home made mango ice cream, freshly churned by me this morning.
All food is best garnished with a large helping of love and laughter and we had both in plenty.
Ah, it is good to cook for guests!
How delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt was. Especially the mano ice cream which I had never made before.
DeleteWhat a pretty table! I am looking forward to entertaining three girlfriends for lunch this Saturday - menu is prepared and I can everything ahead of time and I intend to set a very nice table.
ReplyDeleteThose first sweet peas were the best thing for the table setting.
DeleteDelightful. Home made mayonnaise is wonderful, so different from shop bought
ReplyDeleteSince I discovered how easy it is to make in the Magimix I haven't bought any.
DeleteWell done. I find it hard entertaining for a meal as I’m in the kitchen and can’t be in two places at once so I tend to invite for afternoon tea. My neighbour is coming later this week. Margaret from NZ
ReplyDeleteBonnie is a very easy guest and we finished up eating in the kitchen. I had hoped to eat outside but the weather wasn't in our favour.
