firming up the menu

Monday 24th Mar
I have chosen a very inappropriate menu for my feast. No refugee would ever eat this well. But I'll bet they'd like to!

We are having: marinated goats' cheese with walnut bread
Paella salad with sea food
Fillet of beef with roast capsicums 
Potato salad
Crumble cake with berries and custard. 

I am using quite a lot of my own produce here: walnuts, capsicums, lettuce, berries and eggs in the custard. 

It will be a celebration of the end of summer. Hopefully it will be fine enough to eat outside. 


Date

Sunday 2nd Feb
I have decided to have the feast on Friday the 28th of March. It will be a lunch time feast. Now I have to decide on the menu. And the region of the world to feature. No shortage of war torn countries to choose from. It will come down to what is in the garden and what is easy. 

I have made some pear-anise granita. 

Middle East is possible. 

making a decision

Saturday 1st Feb
Hello Friends,

I haven't hosted a Feast For Freedom for a few years. But this year I have decided to do it. 

The situation for refugees around the world remains dire. This is particularly true in Australia as we face a year of electioneering and the Liberals are already gearing up to do a scare campaign à la Donald Trump - (or should that be 'au Donald Trump[' as he is masculine.) The Labour Party will probably cave and follow his lead. So it is more important than ever that we stand up for refugees in Australia. 

I have only hosted one dinner party since Tony died, on his one year death anniversary. That went well and I am ready to have another go. 

I haven't chosen a date or a menu so far but stay tuned.
