Rain Rain Go Away

'Its raining, Its pouring .. the old man is snoring' well not literally, my husband is awake.


We thought that today would be a wonderful day to get the house ready for our lunch on Monday.A was really insistent that we have a casual lunch, the domestic goddess in me normally goes way overboard with intricate details - which lets face it aren't normally that conducive to a family lunch with 4 children under 5 in attendance.


Menu

Entree / Nibbles
  • Thermomix made hummus with carrot and celery
  • Frittatas with sun dried tomato, roast pumpkin and feta
Main
  • Sausages (supplied by my sister in law) - I think they will be Vegemite and cheese 
    • I have never had them before, and I am not a sausage connoisseur but I will let you know what they are like
      • They were yummy - slightly unusual flavour but once you got used to it - they were quite yummy - no complaints from our guests !!
  • Pork loin with crackling
  • Thermomix apple sauce
    Roast Pumpkin, sweet potato and parsnip tarte tatin
  • Roast pumpkin, sweet potatoe and parsnip Tarte tatin
  • Broccoli salad with bacon and almonds
  • Peas and beans
Dessert
  • Cupcakes - iced with white chocolate ganache and coloured fondant
  • Berries 
  • perhaps some home-made ice cream (still trying to work out whether I can get an ice-cream machine)
Recipes and pictures to come once the delicious menu is complete.

hopefully the rain will hold off for a reconnaissance mission for a BBQ, ice cream maker and final ingredients.
