Sorry - I was shopping online - we received a whole bunch of vouchers for our birthdays.

We had a variety of cheeses & crackers with preserves. Blue, camembert, brie, mature cheddar, goat's cheese, a Dutch Boerenkaas with cumin, all sorts of nuts, samoosas, spring rolls, peri-peri chicken wings. Toasted baguette slices with cream cheese & salmon. Those were the snacks.

Then a chicken biryani with sambal and a veg curry with basmati & raita for mains.

Selection of cupcakes, choc fudge pecan cake, carrot cake & lemon meringue.

I even got it spot-on with my wine selection, apparently :H

Cheeses thrice as one of our dearly loved members would say. That's quite the menu, Mr. Tips. Mind you I had to goggle six of the items to see what they mean. I'll take a double serving of those chicken wings and I'll try the chicken biryani as well. The raita and samoosas sound delish as well so a wee taste of those would go down well. Tell you what - just fill up a big plate of leftovers and send it my way. :H:H The desserts are to die for. Just reading about them I've put on a kilo or more.

PLUS PLUS PLUS, one of our guests gave me SIX slabs of Lindt choccies - a whole variety of flavours, from 85% pure cocoa, to peppermint, almonds, blueberry, orange, sea salt. I also received some organic raw cocoa choccies, handmade nougat and a box of truffles

And Zen:l! I have been thinking about you too with this quit smoking business! I have not killed anyone --yet. Still hanging in there. Misery loves company:H. Tips-so happy you enjoyed your party! The choccies sound yummy! I guess our fellow Army members are at the Mona Lisa for dinner about now. Did they survive the Viking outing???

Same here - the cubs slept until almost noon and now we're struggling to get them to chill out and calm down before bed. Little feckers! And they're writing exams to boot.

Hiya lovelies.
Just a quick check in after a FANTASTIC day and evening with some of the troops. We had such a laff and it was great to meet everyone. Mrs A is running in the race tomorrow and I am flying home cos I have to go to uni in the evening.
I have had such a great time tho, feeling really chilled and revitalised. Ready to make some more changes in my life I think
