Crostini, using home made rosemary bread, demanded something special, so tonight we are starting with ChgJohn’s Baked Brie with Caramelised Onions. This was just divine. The guests just woofed this down. ChgJohn told me to make TWO!
Third Son is grilling Prime Rib on his customised grill which is a pretty jazzy affair!
Because Company was coming I made dessert! A very rare occurrence. Apple Tarte Tartin adapted from this gorgeous Tarte Tartin recipe. Afterwards I had to sit down and write the recipe down for everyone! They picked the plate clean.
And just because we can, here is another shot I took today of a koi, in a local koi pond. Third son is building a pond and we were doing research.. 
Imagine just swimming about in a pool all day!

I feel so out of touch. Today I am coming over to visit your pages! c
I want tarte tatin for breakfast now…
Oh – and I found your Golden Syrup at the ‘nicer’ grocery store I went to yesterday! Look for it while you’re out there in Cali, and if you don’t find it there, I’d be happy to go back and get you some…
I know how you feel about left-overs for breakfast but there are NONE! and we are going to then international market today, if they don’t have my Golden Syrup i might just take you up on your offer.. So many of My Mums recipes have that ing in them!.. thank you.. c
Just let me know…I’m taking off soon for a wee trip of my own, but I’ll be back here on the 1st.
What a feast C!

We are eating so well they will have to roll me back onto the plane!! c
I would so love to be a guest at your dinner table. Once again, the food looks so divine.
Thank you Audrey, it was a very successful dinner, i am enjoying this great big californian kitchen.. there is so much space! c
OMG, that tart looks fantastic!
And yummy, Yummy! Not even hard to make! c
These photographs are so beautiful, it was a visual feast to wacth them…. And seems that the menu was delicious too, dear Cecilia… Thank you, with my love, nia
Thank you Nia, you must tell us about your food one day. I bet you have some lovely old village recipes.. c
I’ll be making John’s crostini very soon…and that apple tart looks amazing!!
I love crostini, It is a fav in all my kitchens.. I cook it quite dry so that it can be stored in jars.. They have munched through piles of it here.. c
I’m making one of John’s bries this weekend – haven’t decided on sweet or savory – just have the brie ready! Your Apple Tarte Tartin looks lovely! And I’m sure it was as good as it looks!
Well if you are having company make both!! I had a whole bunch of non cheese eaters here last night and they just gobbled it up!! We converted them!! c
Pardon me while I drool all over my screen!! Those look (and sound) scrumtious! No wonder there were no leftovers. The koi shots are terrific with the refelctions. 🙂
I loved those shots too Ted, they are almost fragmented shards of colour.. c
What a beautiful post! I too was a bit concerned for the fate of the coi….
Just imagine if I was posting a recipe for goldfish!! ha ah ah that makes me laugh! c
Yum! The food looks so delicious and the koi are just beautiful. It reminds me of Jamaica, where the grill near the beach gets heated at about 7pm, the boats come in at about 7:30, the fish are prepped at 7:35 and we sit down to eat at 7:45. Fresh and wonderful. Almost as good as that glorious brie dish served with prime rib. Drooling now….
Wow, I am going to Jamaica! .. I miss really fresh fish .. c
Oh Cecilia – it doesn’t matter if I have just eaten…reading you makes me hungry..I think I am gaining weight just from reading you!
Oh that is terrible.. Sorry! c
Lovely pics, but how is Daisy doing? I’m miss “my cow.”
Soon soon, Jed, we will do a farm walk this weekend.. c
Your photography skills have definitely gone up another notch here.. love the grill photo and then the koi… BUT I loved the Tarte Tartin the best and now I’m off to check out the recipe:)
