Caroline prepared mouth-watering appetizers with artisan bread, apple slices, and melted porter and cheddar cheeses. Homemade sodabread spread with 'ancient butter,' served alongside a delicious mutton broth with roasted vegetables.

To follow, Rob made Irish coffees and carmelized the rims with demerara sugar, adding whipped cream on top. We sat and enjoyed them in front of the fire.
Then back to the table to finish with a dessert duo prepared by Rebecca - a fluffy white cake with Bailey's icing and a wonderful bread & butter pudding - just in case we weren't full enough! The bread & butter pudding is nice and simple: in an oven-proof dish, butter stale bread 6-8 slices, add a thin layer of thick slice marmalade, break into pieces and place in dish- mix 2 eggs and two cups of milk, splash of vanilla, pour over bread -push down with fork. Cook 350 degrees until top is golden.

I'm sure the food was excellent, as they are all excellent cooks. A meal among friends is one of my "simple pleasures".
Diane, you captured last night's dinner so well! Loved those patates!
