Entertaining...

The dinner party went well. Apparently I can host solo. 

Menu turned out to be:
Canapés (Camambert and quince wrapped in parma ham)

Langoustines and prawns with guacamole and salsa


The table laid:


And then I forgot to take any more pictures

Chicken cordon bleu
Black forest mouse thingy
Coffee

Lots of wine, lots of coffee. 

And very, very nice guests. I've known Eddie for 36 years, Kay for 32, James for 20, Eric for 5 and Linsay for about 2. They all got along well, tales were told, plans were laid. 

A very, very good night.

That was my intention - originally I was going to have six of the langoustines to a plate, but the fishmonger talked me out of it since a) there wouldn't have been enough room on the plates and b) it would have cost $100 for 36 langoustines. The idea was my twist on the 1980s starter of a half avacado filled with prawn cocktail.
