NO, not us, thinking of chicken halves marinated overnight in garlic salt and olive oil, then cooked over lowcoals, Argentinian friend introduced us to this way of cooking and absolutely delicious- you make fire close by and then transfer a spade of coals at a time over to whatever you are cooking.

Hot ham with potato salad + a pear, walnut & blue cheese salad & garlic bread for mains. Dessert will be steamed pud with brandy butter & rum custard along with a pav & some jelly for the kiddies.

This is the latest menu,it's bound to change...
Ham,something chicken-y or porky yet to be decided and a vegetarian main for my daughter,also yet to be decided.Previous suggestions have been not as enthusiastically received as I had hoped they would be. She has been a vegetarian since her teens and we always thought it would be just another phase,but 20yrs later,she's hangin' in there dammit.It's so much easier just having to cater one meal.It will be accompanied by plenty of booze,mainly bubbles for me,just to wash away the stress of the week.
For afters,a very sherry trifle,a pav and fresh fruit salad - raspberries,blueberries,strawb- erriesmango and passionfruit etc.
I much prefer the afters.
