Dinner party

This is Daniel who is a HelpXer here with us from Germany with his partner, Mirella. Daniel apparently doesn't get photographed very often at the stove so this is something of a rare image.
We had a lovely weekend with friends coming up for a dinner party last night. Seated from left is Glen, Dale (my dedicated gym trainer), Daniel, Steve, Mirella, Jason and Louise (who also looks after my training interests). Brilliant night starting with a thai pumpkin soup followed by rack of lamb with garlic and rosemary; kipfler potatoes, asparagus, beetroot fresh from the markets that morning, broccolini and followed by a traditional Bavarian dessert similar to a bread and butter pudding but with lots of cherries which Mirella and Daniel created. And of course washed down with lots of sparkling, red and white wines. Photo taken at first course
Similar pic to above but with me substituting for Glen. Everyone could relax because everyone stayed the night, we got a bit silly, watched a few divas in concert on dvd and some of us stayed up till 2am....lordie....then there was bacon and eggs for breakie and a tour around the property for Dale and Jason. Oh and the Telstra man arrived at 8.45 to fix our house phone. Photo taken at second course.
