What's for Dinner?

Well hello. It was a nice weekend and I didn't go outside until Sunday night. Awesome. But we had a lovely Saturday evening with our friends David and Astrid who came over for dinner. The menu was:

Brie and leek soup

Halloumi with sundried tomato and jalapeno cream cheese on a bed of rocket

Chicken in a champagne cream sauce with grated zucchini fried in olive oil and sweet potato fries

Mini blueberry cheesecakes

I thought it tasted alright but it could have also been the copious amounts of white wine we guzzled. I wanted the table setting to be an African theme and voila. Here are pictures:

The zebra rug is fake- I bought it a couple of years ago for about 5 Euros. I also had some synthetic rose petals that I placed on the two small zebra plates and in the glass bowl. I had two small mirror plates and placed real orchids on top (I have a plant- it was time it did something useful) I love setting the table in different themes- a trait I inherited from the mama.

It's a lovely day and I have already seen a headhunter who gave me pointers on my CV (read: it sucks, do it again). It was informative and it reminded me how much I hate searching for jobs. I've done it so often. Sigh. But my idea of going at it alone is keeping me going and I cannot wait to get started. Estimated launch date: June! Holla! Stay tuned!

Happy Monday!
