Breakfast: Cereal & Muesli
Lunch: Gammon Ham Sandwiches
Dinner: Burrata, Tomatoes & Piadina - Butterflied Leg of Lamb, Asparagus, Minted New Potatoes
Dessert: Meringues with Lemon Curd, Honey Ice Cream
Dinner: This was our first social disatance aware Dinner Party for more than 1 visitor. It was lovely to have Andrew & Alison for dinner in the garden. We tried to keep it simple and distanced, so only a couple of photos as it is just too rude to keep snapping.
The lamb was from Swiss Farm and butterflied by me. Maggie made the marinade (balsamic, garlic, a little red wine and bay leaves)
An aperetif was poured by the guests, and we served our own. Burrata was served in 2 portions with the additional elements served seperately.
We served the main course in covered dishes with individual serving spoons for each couple, and inidividual pot holders to lift the lids. The wine was decanted and each served themselves, with us holding the decanter by the bottom and guests from the top
It seemed a little strange at times, but worked well. We think it might be a little more complex with 6 people.
Andrew & Alison bought their own hot water in flasks, towels and soap for handwashing, which was unexecpected but was a really good idea. This meantMeaning we only had to clean the bathroom that was for their use.
The blog was a little late being sent this evening as we enojoyed the fire-pit and wine late into the night

Must be lovely for you both to be able to cook for your friends again! You do it so well 😊 I also hope that if the lemoncello came out Maggie only had 1 1/2 😬
