Thirty Five

I was spoit for my thirty fifth birthday this year. Barb reprised last years family Xmas dinner of roast pork. It's a recipe from the bible (Stephanie Alexander's Cook's Companion), called Justin's wonderful rack of pork". Watching Kate savour the crackling was a real joy. She was formerly a vego a couple of years ago. Entree was seared scallops, on the shell with avacado salsa. Desert was a poached pear in saffron and vanilla, followed by a french goats cheese and pettite fours from Adora hand made chocolates.
