its 2.45am, last guests left at about 2 - deck is clean, kitchen is ... well, not that messy (kezza rocks) LOL
the night was a raging success - everyone was blown away with the food and the atmosphere was perfect, good company, and the whole thing went off without a hitch!
i'm sipping some left over rosso dolce and thinking the only thing that would have made the night better is sharing it with my oprano friends.
every dish i served i thought of someone here and a dining moment i've had with them over the years. food and wine always tastes better when the company is special.
food rocks ;-)
some final wrap up pics ...
the service area ...
the seafood stuffed mushrooms with hollandaise sauce
champagne berry jellies
kezza and I after a hard night in the kitchen - yes, we both worked the entire night in dresses and heels ;-)))
opti, lisa didn't make it NOR did she call me to tell me why!!!!!!! *smack* but i'll forgive her, because her friend dave came and brought this absolutely fucking georgeous 20 something boy that xippy and I enjoyed all evening ;-))))
steve, i've never put a phone there - its next to the kitchen - when i'm cooking, the phone can ring all it likes. anything important goes to icq, and i have sound up when i'm cooking so i can respond immediately. priorities!! ;-)

David did always know exactly the right gift to bring along to a dinner party!
(but does he generally come in a couple with boys these days??)
Well CJ, you and the girls certainly outdid yourself !
Sen-fucking-sational evening.
Great food (sort of overdid it on the mushrooms, but damn it was worth it), excellent wine and a pretty damn good group of people, shame you had to bring down the tone by having me there !!!
Apart from Kim, there was another blast from the past in Ducky and it definitely was not a boring crowd apart from that.

It was everything you promised great food, great wine and great company.
Thank You for sharing it with us.
Thanks Babe - I'm so glad you could join us for the night and I loved meeting David ... and yes baby *almost* made me clucky - especially if he's always that quiet

Damn with all that sensational food I must have missed him!
he was in the group of 3 guys setting right next to you!!! that's what you get for being content with what you've got, ya forgot how to purve!!!! ;-))))
the young one was cute boy, the older guy was my dad and the guy in the middle was Lisa's friend Dave ... he knows rob, troy and some of the old sexrev crew - we used to go out and play pool together regularly. That was the other 6 degrees i forgot to mention to you ;-)
So sorry I didn't make it CeeJ. I was feeling pretty crappy when I woke up Saturday...mooched around all day, lay down for a nap around 2pm in the hopes of feeling well enough to head out...and woke up at 4am.
'Cute Guy' is Lachie. Recently separated muso (you've almost certainly see him play at The Pav...he was the bass player in the band when we used to hang there regularlyish...tho I think you had the hots for the lead guitarist/singer Matt...).

thanks sweetie ;-)
was great to see you and Leisa having such a great time & enjoying the food so much.
Leisa spent a bit of time with me in the kitchen in the hope i'd prepare too much of something several people snuck into the kitchen throughout the night to ask if they could have more mushrooms - I really thought I had fucked them up because I made the mousse incorrectly & had to do an emergency fix up - nobody noticed ;-))))
As you can probably tell, I love cooking and it was my pleasure all the way.
We also ended up with 3 boxes of christmas gifts to take to the childrens hospital thanks to everyone's generosity!
The details so far of the next event are as follows:
May 2005 - Winter Gourmet Night
+ Traditional winter dishes including a rich red wine ragout and a range of full bodied wines to compliment.
+ Location as yet undecided
+ We'll be collecting blankets for a homeless shelter a friend volunteers at.
If you would like to attend, let me know ;-) More details closer to the event!

Good thing we didn't prank call you then
Hope you are feeling better babe - we missed your company.
Lochie is a musician too?!?!?!??! oh god, i'm gonna slide off my chair here
Half an hour into the night he realized he had worked at my parents restaurant as a kitchen hand about 5 years ago for about a year - how Kez and I don't remember him is beyond me
So ... it must be time for a night of pool at the pav huh? ;-)
Don't think they play at The Pav anymore...think Mr Egg broke up actually. But Lachie is still playing round Bris...I'm sure David can find out where and we can make a night of it.
Feeling betterish...just got that 'run over by a truck' feeling going on. Should be ok by tomorrow I hope.
