There were five of us at dinner so Fi and Dan sensibly prepared two tagine-type dishes - Fi's famous meatballs and a chicken dish with garlic olives and preserved lemon (home-preserved lemon - FUCK YEAH!). Dinner was served with rice and green beans (one of my top five-favourite vegetables).
Next came individual rose water panna cottas (yeah, you read that right). At this point I realised life is pretty fucking perfect....and I'm really good at picking friends. More specifically, Fi and Dan are excellent at making dinner for people.
It didn't stop there....not only did I drink all the alcohol in their house but Kirst and Ryan brought a variety of chocolates for post-dessert treats. Individual handmade caramels and chocolates came first. In case that wasn't enough (which it wasn't) there were also cocoa-dusted nuts. Incase that wasn't enough (which it wasn't) there were also chocolate-covered freeze-dried strawberries.
It just occurred to me I was planning for one of those strawberries to be my last bite of the evening but I stupidly filled my stomach with all of the booze.
Notice how the photo is glowing? That's how good dinner was.
