usually we have a dining table and two long tressel tables going through the lounge room for all the famil.y however wasnt needed since half the family is over in New York for Jades wedding.
the thought did cross my mind "hmmmmmmm will that mean more food to enjoy" not the best way my brain thinks.
we Started off with the usual challah & gilfte fish. Dissapointed no carrots with it this time. they give it that little bit sweet taste.All good i was quiet content with a plate of smoked that was was sitting right infront of me. Followed by the famous chicken soup.
Then the mains come out! yay!!!! im not so big on all the meats even though i do eat them all. My favourites are all the different kinds of salad. my fave toight was cous cous pumkin salad. usully we have a cunmcumber whch is soaked in light weight yoghurt, a salad with fruit and nuts witha beautifull sweet dressing. yummy quiches, roast chicken all marinated. different kinds of potatoe cooked. everyone eyes off this one that is roasted but nt fullbrisy or crunchy but has all these herbs on them wihc are just beautifull.can be scalloped or just in 1/4 with the chiken. plates of thinly sliced beef.
Then the ice cream comes out with the bowl of strawberries. Vietta ice which always goes so fast and the checkboard chocolate and vanilla squares. ................i have two bowls of that because its not to heavy but once the bowls get cleared up from that course follows honey cake. i always do the mistake and eat heaps of ice cream and forget the cake. cant say no so i have few slices of honey cake the followed by a fruit platter.
Such a yummy and beautifull meal. you end up being so tired and bloated after but so worth it.
