HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANNY!
A few pretty pastel decorations I made for Nanny and her dinner party...
The party tree with paper fan bunting.
Larger paper fan wheels (I don't know what they are called?) I hung from the ceiling.
I made a party hat, card and wrapped the prezzy to match.
Some white ink on brown paper for wall messages.
Handmade cards from the boys.
The menu was fairly simple, mostly seafood.
I made sushi rice and rolled in toasted sesame seeds, made up some green Thai curry (quite thick) for a sauce and put thinly sliced Tuna steaks on a hot grill before serving on top of rice and curry. They were nice, but a little too much rice (note to self for next time).
I did try this recipe from Vogue Entertaining Magazine, which was very delish, a great starter.
The eggs must not be overcooked, unless making for kids, as the runny egg yolk works like a sauce and the dish tastes completely different if you do, however we did omit the truffle oil and I made an alternate dressing of olive oil,lemon and aged red wine vinegar, but one day I will try as per the recipe.
We also had salmon kebabs with fresh prawns and for dessert I had every intention of making a macaron cake of some sort, however they didn't quite turn out right, so I made fresh raspberry couli, chantilly cream and macaron parfaits for all.
A lovely way to end the day.
