Starters

Well, it has been an idyllic day.

Woke up late and stayed in bed until after 0900!
Breakfast and general 'chilling' out in the morning.   Took Sophie to her dance class and then on our return, I started cooking while listening to music and partaking in a few G&T's :)

Have cooked a Beef Goulash and have made some chocolate moose.  Here is the starter and something to keep us going until the main has finished cooking.  It is some homemade french bread (from the bread maker) and some pate with some wine.

* Pate has been shop bought, no time to make that myself today
** no kids were harmed from the consumption of wine! (not a drop passed their lips)
