Do You Fancy Some Of This?

[EcclesCake]

I have learnt that some friends coming over on Saturday are expecting a feeding. I'm a tad peeved by their expectation but secretly grateful as I have a lot of veg that needs using up. On the basis that there will be too much who fancies joining us for the following menu:-

Homemade herb/olive focaccia served with EVO, Balsamic vinegar and roasted garlic

Chicory, pear, blue cheese and sweet/salty almond salad

Ragu filled portobello mushrooms topped with cheese and baked
Feta, mint and pine nut courgette involtini
PSB tossed in garlic and chilli butter
Fennel, apple & walnut salad
Braised leeks with balsamic vinegar and toasted hazelnuts

Oranges with spiced caramel and cinnamon yogurt.

[EcclesCake]

I hope you have a great birthday and a jolly fine meal out with Mrs Giz. If not let me know and I'll send you a doggy bag :-)

[ChillDoubt]

I'm looking forward to the spoils of victory (whatever foodstuffs they may be!) with lashings of humble pie being served to our neighbours from just across the border.
