Our first evening meals!

I've wanted to offer our guests an alternative to the cuisine of the area which has a large emphasis on deep fried foods. It would also give me the opportunity to test recipes and further develop my repertoire.

Lobster and cod were the choices of our delightful guests. Kris and her daughter Riki chose the lobster, while Rhonda, Arne and Greta settled on cod au gratin. These were accompanied by a rice medley, dressed up green beans, spinach salad, peas with mushrooms and a Black Forest cake to celebrate Greta's birthday.

This group chose Hugh's Invigorating Porridge several mornings during their stay, much to Hugh's delight. He has developed his unique mixture based on his studies of nutrition and his own love of seeds and is tickled to share it with others.

This delightful fivesome stayed with us for 3 days while acquainting themselves with cousins and aunts that they had never met. What a great start to our season with such warm and appreciative guests.
