I didn't take pictures of the table covered with food, this one was taken just at the beginning...Choux, lemon tart and rhubarb trifle from Louise (who made great salads as well), pear and chocolate tart from Diane (check her blog for more pictures and more details about this event), and a caramel flan from me.
Andrea made, amongst other things, some chocolate covered strawberries,
and I baked curry and onion cakes and pesto muffins (recipes below)
And of course, the reason for all this was that Laura and Peter, from Twist Fiber Craft, were coming to us instead of us having to go to Newburgh!
They bring all their lovely stuff and some new yarn as well: hand-dyed Shetland wool...yum yum, fabulous colors, I couldn't resist, of course!
I bought that one (250g, enough to knit a big cosy shawl to wrap myself in during winter)
and turned it into a ball in the evening:
