Entertaining


Tonight Terri and Jude are coming over for dinner, and then tomorrow it's a quilters invasion again. Woohoo! It is going to be a good weekend. The best of friends, great food and lots of laughter.

So it's all about the food here today. And since I have three things in the making, but nothing yet complete, I will tantalise you with photos from the cook books.


On the menu tonight is laksa soup. Just about the best soup in the world. I can tell you more about it later if you like but it is a coconut curry broth with noodles, chicken, prawns, vegetables, fried tofu and whatever you like really. So, so good!

Desert will be chocolate pavlova with raspberries. Always a crown pleaser. It's in the oven right now.

And then I am making a batch of chocolate flapjacks at Laura Jane's request for tomorrow. Highly addictive, but you can tell yourself they are good for you due to the high porridge oats content. We won't discuss the high butter and sugar content. That is irrelevant.

Hope you all have as good a weekend as I am planning. Enjoy!

Susan

    Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Pavlova for tonight; but it has cream and eggs and all the stuff Terri won't eat - don't put her in that embarrassing position, save it for tomorrow!

    That pavlova looks good - nothing wrong with too much sugar, butter, if you are sharing with with friends. Have a great weekend.
