We've had a great day though. I spent the morning preparing and cooking for lunch, when we were joined by four of my favourite students. Laura, Guillermo, David & Alberto.
The menu looked something like this:
starters:
Mushroom pate, pea mint & basil pate, cheese provolone
Endive & blue cheese salad with walnuts.
Main course
Toad in the hole
roast potatoes, mashed sweet potato
cauliflower and broccoli in cheese sauce.
Fried onions with feta cheese
Dessert:
Spotted dick and custard
Bannoffee pie with banana cream.
and I'm pleased to say it was enjoyed by all. Everyone went home feeling quite full!!
Alberto kept Cuddy busy for some time playing with her toys and this evening she ahs collapsed on the sofa, so she's happy too.
The washing up and clearing up was a bit of a chore, but means that all our plates and dishes are now sparkling in the cupboards!
So another fantastic day in VnG at Casa TulStig...
And tomorrow i'¡m off to look at a new allotment.
What a lovely way to spend a day Mark.
