Dinner party preparations

We have invited twelve friends/family members to dinner chez hazelh tomorrow evening. Today has been dedicated to supermarket shopping and cooking in readiness for the arrival of our guests. This afternoon we made/prepared:

Honey soy cocktail sausages
Smoked salmon pâté
A venison stew
Creamy sprouts and artichokes
Roast rainbow carrots (blipped)
Gigantes
A very rich and alcoholic chocolate torte
Pears poached in mulled wine

Tomorrow we will put up our decorations, rearrange furniture, hide our precious sitting room rug (just in case), and set tables (one in the hall, one in the kitchen). 

Exercise today: One hour on the exercise bike; lots of stomping around the kitchen.
