Thank you so much for all the good wishes for my birthday today. I have had a wonderful day so far, with my favourite person. I haven't got anything creative to show you from me, but something creative from Col! This is the starter he made for my lunch:!
Marinated anchovies with oven roasted vine tomatoes. It was delicious! For the main course he wanted to recreate a favourite dish of ours from Marks and Spencer, which is chicken with potatoes cooked with chilli and smoked paprika and tomatoes, with garlic mayonnaise. M and S eat your heart out!
There is ice cream in the freezer too, but I'm too full - maybe later!
Oh that looks so delicious and quite nicely presented! I see olives also and I am an olive lover! So happy you enjoyed your birthday meal and how sweet of your husband! Enjoy the rest of you birthday! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteGreat work from Col on the culinary front - and decoratively too... that starter looks beautiful! Glad to hear you're having a lovely day, and hope there's room for ice cream later...

Ich bin etwas weiter als du nämlich fast 15 Jahre älter.
Und das Leben macht Spaß, ich möchte nicht mehr jünger sein.
Geniesse den Tag, und vor allem das leckere Essen :-)
