We are having a special birthday dinner for Stephen tonight. The table setting features an African theme and I am cooking. We just had a Skype birthday call from Tamworth. Technology really makes the world a different place. Kirstie is in Queensland so Kate and Chris will be here to celebrate along with Hugues. We'll be having marinated roast lamb. The marinate is a combination of rosemary and mint. That will be 
served with roasted vegetables:potatoes (in their jacket,) button mushrooms, capsicum (red and green,) carrot, sweet potato chunks and pumpkin. A side dish of fresh beans in a pepper and diced tomato sauce will provide the colour for tonight's main. For dessert there are home baked, individual, apple tarts. Puff pastry rounds have been stacked, decorated, baked and 
cut into halves. Prior to serving I'll gently heat the apple for spooning onto the pastry rounds. Each will be lightly dusted with icing sugar and served with fresh strawberries, ice cream and pouring cream.
