Tonight we are having some friends over for a 8 course degustation at our place. Chef has been preparing since Monday night and working at the busiest time of the year ( - our little town is packed with visitors which means good news for me as they are buying my rattles like nobodies business - I cannot make them quick enough which is very exciting!!!) Chef and The Apprentice- who has just returned from travelling around the world- even caught the mud crabs for the crab bisque on tonights menus. Food porn photos very soon.
I just had to post this photo of Busy who was pretty excited about the crabs - please ignore mess in background...
More embroidery- I think it will be this years present- last year everyone got plastic lined shoe bags. Fancy being born on New years Day? Poor thing everyone always forgets- so I have made a special someone this for her brithday... I hope she likes it.
Have a great New Years Eve!! xxx
YUM! sounds fantastic!

ReplyDeleteBusy looks too cute holding that crab - is it dead already?

Sounds delicious, we cheated with Thai food & children early into bed, well after watching 9p.m. fireworks on television. Just soaking up time with my husband. Happy New Year, love Posie
