Yummy Carrot Cake! (by sarah)
Me and Al are currently finishing off the yummy carrot cake his Aunt and Uncle bought us last weekend along with my favourite - duck eggs! 🙂 It was a real treat having them visit - I say weekend but they arrived late Sunday due to some missadventure on Roderick's part involving the Isle of Wight and a Spitefire!
As well as them there was Helens Mother Beatrice who was lovely and on an extended visit to this country - If I can get a hold of a copy of the pictures I will post them! Helen looked really cool with Jean in an Africian style baby bum carrier (dont know the correct term!) made of our Rainbow blanket - Jean loved it.
I also managed my first dinner party for six plus baby - with Als help naturally 🙂
For started we did nachos with home made guacamole and salsa etc... For the main we had filo passels that we constructed out of feta and home grown spinache with a wild leaf salad of mine and Als own devising, then a pasta salad and some mederterian veg, potatoe salad and calsaw made their way to the table as well (didnt make these as they take for ever - especially the calsaw). For dessert we had brandy snap baskets (again I had to buy these as didnt have time to make them) filled with red berrys of various sorts coverred in a berry icecream (I'd run out of home made icecream as well so felt guilty it was shop bought!) covered in hedgerow source which I made in the autum.
Hmmm woundering weather we should have a category labeled recipes on here - if anyones interested let me know (Charlee).
Anyway it was much fun especially as the old box speakers of mums and dads found a temperary home with the bodging repair of Babaras sound system!
