Friday May 27
We have raved before about the spread that Jean puts out twice yearly for a hungry bunch of classicists. Well, she did it again, this time in the now-empty former main room of the library. Here were all her classic (in several senses) home-made comestibles: crustless sandwiches of curried chicken, smoked salmon and boursin, and classic cucumber; strawberries and blueberries set to be dipped into powdered sugar; scones with and without raisins, plus strawberry jam and whipped cream to put on them; a big tipsy trifle made to the recipe of Sue Willets' mother (so really English); pistachio cake; all sorts of poundcakes; almond, apricot and raspberry mini-tarts; lemon balls in powdered sugar; brownies; TWO chocolate-frosted bûches de Noël with coffee cream, and of course coffee, tea, and pink lemonade.
And that, my friends, was dinner.
