Weekend

[altariel]

gair and gerald came at the weekend, bringing joy! In return, I made them take rural buses and sit on hard chairs!

Meanwhile, mraltariel cooked a dinner of special magnificence:

Gin snow
Duck egg with watercress
Mushroom veloute
Roasted fennel with tomatoes, peas and fried potato
Pink grapefruit sorbet
Pear and olive baked yoghurt with lemon scones
Ginz and tonix

Recipes here. And pictures below the cut.

Stupidly, I didn't take a picture of the dessert, because it was so beautiful I was sitting gasping at it. But they were tiny, tiny scones of deliciousness!

I might just get some more tiny tiny scones made so that I can take some piccies...

The weekend was made of happiness. Green Knowe was as lovely as ever (we toured the house this time and gerald received the mouse!). There may soon be a film of Chimneys.
