Allotment Dinner

Tonight was our first dinner to celebrate the allotment collaboration. Here are Jenny, part of the initial panning; Bieke, worker and creative enthusiast; Chris, Pete and Nels co-worker; Judith and Delphine, about to join us with Simon (gigging elsewhere); me, pot washer and kitchen grump; Ian, provider of provender in chief. Jim took the pic and the Captain missed his slot by having already gone to bed.
Everything we ate we produced from the land. The menu was Onion tart, eggs by Midnight, Tache and Bella, onions by Ian, with creamed parsnips from Jim; Salad from Ian with walnuts picked by Bieke and the dressing according to Claude Monet (Hon member); coq au vin, RIP, ratatouille by us all, potatoes by Bieke; cheese a gift from Jenny but not grown by us; Rennes Claude crumble, picked by Bob.
Pretty damn good!
We will meet again next year... as Bob said, we did good to get through the year amicably but then we rarely actually meet:) So rendezvous to swop notes and do forward planning next October.
