TRADITIONALLY AT OUR HOUSE  THANKS G IS A TWO DAY AFAIR.  WE GO TO OUR DEAR FRIENDS TEVYA & MARIS ON THURSDAY FOR  A FUN FEST OF 40 AND THEN JORDS AND I COOK UP A STORM FOR "THE SECOND" NITE.....
THIS YEARS MENU WAS:
 CAULIFLOWER SOUP IN ACORN SQUASH BOWLS GARNISHED WITH PUMPKIN SEEDS AND PUMPKIN SEED OIL PESTO......YUMMY WAS THE REVIEWS.... I DON'T LIKE CAULIFLOWER......CAN I HAVE THE RECIPE? (SEE NOVEMBER POSTS)   OR I NEVER HAD ACORN SQUASH......THAT WAS D LISH!

SECOND COURSE:  ROAST KALE (OK, I WAS WAY TOO LIBERAL WITH THE SALT....JORDS), FRESH POMEGRANATE SEEDS, SHAVINGS OF  RICOTTA SALATA & A DRIZZLE OF PESTO.....I JUST LOVED THE CRISPY KALE, THE MILD CHEESE AND THE WONDERFUL POP OF THE POMEGRANATE SEEDS.

MAIN: MARINATED  AND GRILLED SKIRT STEAK OVER MINCED RATATOUILLE = BUTTERY STEAK, COLOURFUL FALL VEGGIES.

CRANBERRY CLAFLOUTI (THANK YOU PROF ABZ JOB WELL DONE EVEN THOUGH THE WIPPED CREAM CRACKED)  RED, TART & CREAMY
CHOCOLATE MOUSSE (ANOTHER WINNER FROM PROF ABZ)  WHO DOESN'T LOVE A LITTLE  CHOCOLATE AND MOUSE?
