But they won't arrive until around 7:30 p.m. They'll have had a two hour drive to your house from a party where they'll have been noshing all afternoon. Like you, they live for food and wine. He's English, she's Canadian, and they take a very continental approach to dining. Oh, and they'll be spending the night because it's a long way home.
What would you serve?
I'm leaning toward two courses wherein the starter's a salad and the main is a non-meat soup, like a celeriac puree, but that's because I'm so brain dead after a rather exhausting week that I just can't seem to think of anything cleverer. I probably need to add a sweet, too, because of the 'Continental' thing, even though I'm dessert-challenged. Something easy and light.
Please, entertain me with ideas.
