A boozy dinner party

[london1967]

The weather has been simply marvellous: cloudless sky and rather warm with a lovely breeze. It hadn't been this nice and hot since April.

Saturday was mainly spent getting ready for a dinner party: we invited 2 couples (one straight: Peter and Sim, one gay: Bobby and Neil) of "neighbours" (they live 2 roads up from us) with whom we had spent a lovely evening a few weeks ago on the open garden day.

The menu was all vegetarian:
- gazpacho w/ rosemary focaccia
- potato and pea frittata
- insalata di peperoni arrosto (roast pepper salad)
- summer vegetable risotto w/ rocket and roast tomatoes
- creamy apple pie
- red fruit salad

Adrian's creamy apple pie 

was once again superb, and I was very pleased with my risotto.

Dinner and the evening were great! Our guests got here just after 7 pm and they left at 2:45 am!!
There were a few empties: 2 bottle of ready-made sangria and 8 bottles of wine! 

Some sangria was left in the jug and I thought it was a good idea to drink it, just before bed.

Adrian was a sweetheart and did the washing up: so we ended up going to bed at 4 am. As we both said, we cannot remember when we have been up so late, I think probably not in the last 9 years!

I didn't wake up with a hangover because I didn't really drink much but I've felt tired all day long (and so has poor Adrian). It's been a rather subdued day for both of us, but we managed to go up to Crystal Palace to a junk shop to buy an old desk for the PC and it was delivered this evening.

And now off to bed!

I love risotto - it must be in my northern Italian genes!

Hmmm. What else is in your northern Italian jeans?

Don't know... not wearing any at the moment! LOL!

I took pity on you and sent some of our weather up north for a few days.
