Apart from my being cross that I didn't have enough room for seconds, everything went totally well! I'm thankful to have friends who are good company - and who can also be pressed into helping when they come to dinner!

It sounds lovely. We were on an airplane being subjected to something less than edible. I envy your menu. Maybe next year...
