Date Night For One....
Sometimes it's not going to be about special meals etc...
Tonight it's been a big hot long shower (the hot water service was out for 2 days)
left overs for dinner, and talking to friends...
All's good....
just enjoy the music!

Basically Black...
It's 'Date Night For One' again and tonights' theme is basically black... |
Field Mushroom cooked in the pan, then filled with Sun dried Tomato, Black Olives and Basil...with a bit of Vinaigrette. |
Pickled Baby Octopus dipped in Ketchup Manis and cooked in a non stick pan until it's all caramelised and delicious. |
Home cooked Beetroot with Lemon Dressing and Eggplant with Anchovies and Green Peppercorns. |
Too good and the results speak for themselves. |
Desert was Poppy Seed Loaf, Chocolate Ice Cream and Orange Segments., with Pistacios and Currants |
It's such a treat and I enjoyed every crumb... |

Date Night...Bed, Bath and Books...
I'm thinking that Wednesday's good timing for 'Date night for one'... |
I've loaded up the day bed with books and rose petals and surrounded myself with candles. |
Sleeping somewhere else is like a little holiday, you feel different and special. |
Can't have enough Rose Petals... |
I had Smoked Salmon Couscous, just delicious... |
A big bath strewn with petals and infused with Rose water, not to mention something cold with Rose Ice Cubes... |
Just to finish Pecan Slice and Strawberry and of course more Rose petals. |

Date Night...
The first thing is to make a body scrub...
This one's Honey and Sugar. |
Mix equal amounts of Olive Oil and Honey with twice the amount of Raw Caster Sugar. |
It's ready to go and will keep for ages. |
Something delicious to eat ...
My choice is Natural Oysters with Lemon and Rosemary Flowers, on ice. |
Something Sweet...
I've made a chocolate sauce by melting Butter and Brown Sugar, adding Cream, Spice Essence and Dark Chocolate... just 30 seconds at a time in the microwave and stirring. |
Instead of Praline I've just smashed up some Werthers Originals. |
And served it with Indulge Vanilla Ice Cream. |
Now To Relax...
Time for a great big bath with lots of candles... |
And of course a glass of French Champagne... Who says you can't have a date for one?. |
