May 31st 2014
I has been a very busy week
and most of my focus has been on the cocktail party for the Doctor group
and they were very happy with the things that I came up with for appetizers!!!
Here is a list of what I did .........
~ Mini Lamb bites - made with ground lamb and lima beans served with goat
cheese raita..
~ stuffed tarts - filo tarts stuffed with shiitake mushrooms and salami - delish!!
~ Curried deviled eggs - with roasted spices
~ French bread topped with triple brie and pickled eggplant and chutney
~ Mini eggrolls made with chicken and lemongrass
~ Wok tossed turmeric shrimp on skewers

Totally enjoyed by everyone - there was also a service that came in to serve
red and white wine that went well with the apps...
I think that they were very pleased with the results and Maddess and I enjoyed
doing the event!! 

And my two favorite girls ( my best young diva helpers)

Ahhhhh and this is my very famous Stuffed Rotti with Shrimp!!!

Another Diva Dinner May 24th 2014
Wow!! this one was amazing - great group of different fun fab people and this time around - we asked Graycloud to come over and take some photos of the evening - well other than the food we had no idea how the evening would end
Here is a few shots from the event I will continue more of them in the next few days stay tuned !!

Like they say back home - bloody hell that was good!!!!
 
I just have to tell you what I had for dinner tonight!!
Been working all day and decided to make dinner for the diva and settle in before
I have to do more work - I tend to work even better after a glass of good Australian
cabernet !!! - so checked in the fridge and decided I had to manage with left overs...
Here is what I had in there - the meat of one lamb shank - chopped that up
some green onion - bacon of course !!! ha! I know this sounds really too much
but here goes........
Sautéed the green onion and garlic threw in the bacon then the meat and left over
soba noodles... three chopped up shiitake mushrooms...bloody hell what the hell....
I am worth it!!!! so then in went two slices of brie...YES we are talking real decadence....
Yes it was heavy and yet really light and still so tasty and yes I wish I would have had a
platter of it to share with everyone I know - yes it was good - sometimes left overs and put
togetherness are the best best best ever!!! I wanted to take a photo of it but I think it did not
look as good as I wanted it to - so therefore no photo!!
It was amazing - just diva-rrific  !!!!

Today was a great day!!!
