Supper club night - Winter warmer
Have decided to be brave and launch my first supper night. Bit scary to be honest but hopefully
with a warm welcome and a full tummy people will leave happy !
As it's so chilly out now I have decided on a hearty menu to include pumpkin soup ( served in their original cases ). Oxtail as a main, which I know is not that common these days, but I think it makes a delicious meal as it's cooked on the bone and the marrow makes it unctuous to eat. It is one of the cheaper cuts so needs long slow cooking which means once in the oven you can busy yourself with more important things...like dessert ! Which if left to me I would eat first. !
I have opted for a flourless chocolate cake, which resembles a fallen souffle of sorts, it's delicate
because of the absence of flour, but fingers crossed, the end result should be a cross between a cake and a mousse.
Friday December 11th...... wish me luck !
Vintage Afternoon Tea is next.... menu and date to follow

Preparations for the vintage tea party
Invitations have gone out. Having sleepless nights over my eccentric tea party organised in the Kemptown Enclosures. Totally weather dependent. No shelter from the wind. O my goodness what am I going to do if it rains!
Have been asking my daughter and friends for regular weather updates. The girls understand why, she hasn't got a clue and is becoming increasingly irritated with being weather monitor.
Gathered everything together and found my spot in the gardens, leaving table and various heavy bits which I've lugged in and out of the car, across grass in the hope that they will remain dry and safe til the next morning....
Brighton is a windy place at the best of times but predications for tomorrow are for gale force winds!
