Quite a selection! Yum.
Lunch started with a little bubbly and some nibbles. The entrée dishes were endive leaves stuffed with crab salad, and a generous platter of smoked salmon. Next was a palate cleanser of apple sorbet with calvados (apple brandy). The main course was a tajine of chicken with apricots and prunes, served with couscous. For dessert we had a chocolate mousse followed by coffee. Then M. brought out the after-dinner drinks.
It was a wonderful afternoon and we enjoyed seeing everyone again.
Based on the photo alone and ignoring your mention of the great food, that looks like a very fine Liquid Lunch!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds heavenly! That photo is a piece of art!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE limoncello!
ReplyDeleteWhat would be the point of a nice lunch if there is not a lot of empty bottles afterwards. And getting a tram home for an afternoon nap.
ReplyDeleteC'est la bonne vie... :-)
ReplyDeleteThat does indeed sound like a fine lunch. Life is good here.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bottles, lovely event!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the disturbing dreams. Maybe they're tied to the lovely bottles? ;)

mitch, there was plenty of liquid going around!
ReplyDeletelinda, very tasty! And thanks!
anne marie, me, too. In fact, that's what I drank, and we finished the bottle.
andrew, no trams around here, unfortunately.
jan, n'est-ce pas ?
stuart, and leisurely, too.
judy, I don't think so, the dream was a couple days later. Delayed reaction? ;')
