What's a frou frou drink, jambox? Looks nice.

[jamboxrock]

It's just a term, like fancy schmancy. I'm not even sure that's how it's spelled...

Tale of a birthday lunch gone wrong!!

So, it was my partner's birthday the other day and I decided to prepare a feast using as much of our own produce as possible. Plus lots of booze.

After breakkie (some time after, not at 9.30am!) ... we enjoyed a jug of Bloody Mary


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii254/Vegan_food_porn/DSCN0199.jpg

Once that had been polished off we fancied a nibble ... so out came various marinaded olives and some freshly roasted wasabi almonds and cashews. What better to wash those down than a Margarita.

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii254/Vegan_food_porn/DSCN0201.jpg

They were so nice that we had a couple more glasses.


Rather later than planned we had our starter - a tower of grilled veggies and polenta in a pool of freshly made pepper coulis. I think we opened the Sanccere at this point.

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii254/Vegan_food_porn/DSCN0207.jpg


And a freshly made saffron foccacia.

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii254/Vegan_food_porn/DSCN0208.jpg

Yummy. Not too long after the starter *hic* came the main course. It was a roasted veggie lasagne from the Candle Cafe Cookbook (as was the starter). It was a lot of preparation, but really tasty.

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii254/Vegan_food_porn/DSCN0221.jpg

Ah, but something was missing. In my slighly drunken state I'd forgotten to cook the roast fennel. Ah well.

[Aradia]

Time for another ...


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii254/Vegan_food_porn/DSCN0223.jpg


Some time later we had our first dessert! (partner is a dessert fiend!). Vision was starting to go by now, and forward planning was a pipe dream.

It tasted wonderful .... caremalised pineapple covered with coconut milk infused with lemongrass, cardamon seeds and lime then baked. Delish ...


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii254/Vegan_food_porn/DSCN0240.jpg


.... But I'd forgotten to make the icecream. Oh well. The dessert wine will make up for that.



Then for dessert number two ... a chocolate tower filled with chocolatey coconutyness ....


http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii254/Vegan_food_porn/DSCN0009-1.jpg


..... ooops .. forgot the strawberry coulis.


So, the moral of the story ... if you're going to get drunk when doing a dinner, get absolutely blotto and ommissions will hardly be noticed.

PS - this quantity of drinking should of course be once in a while ... it aint big and it aint clever! I had a banging headache that night, but was OK (ish!) the next day :o
