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.

Roasted fennel with tomatoes, peas and fried potato

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!
