It's a good gift if you want the espresso as well as the frother. Or just buy the frother if you want it with regular coffee. I have one that goes with my Nespresso machine and it works pretty well. I'm sure there are others out there that work well too.

Belated happy birthday! Cheers!
 
Done and dusted for today, perhaps with a hot chocolate with an added dash of chocolate and chilli rum later.

The crispy Gravlax salmon skin was a by-product that was too good to be binned.
Buck's Fizz with nibbles of crackers with prawns and Marie Rose sauce with trout roes or Gravlax with a dill sauce with lumpfish roes.

Starter of smoked mackerel pâté with garlicky ciabatta toasts.

Roast duck, pigs in blankets, roast potatoes and parsnips; braised red cabbage in apple juice, butter and cinnamon; stir-fried medley of vegetables; duck sauce. Washed down with a glass of red wine.

Dessert of panna cotta with ground toasted pistachio and sesame seeds, pomegranate and Grand Marnier.

Époisses and Roquefort cheeses with fruits, quince jelly, celery, and Emmental and pumpkin seeds crackers with a glass of chocolate and chilli rum.

I hope you all have had a good day today.

No, just someone who love to cook, and to eat well.

Thank you for the kind words though,

I started apprenticing at a nail salon a few months ago and we went to my boss’ house for Christmas. He is Vietnamese and this was the spread. DC169CC1-C9B9-4DB8-83EA-CECA9ADDFA0C.jpeg2477CE0C-9BEE-41CE-884F-94093393A98F.jpeg51CE162C-38F2-4F2E-AAC6-34B17A981385.jpeg

Thank you Eli22. Here is a pic of Pozole Rojo with pork that I made today, Eve before Christmas Eve.

Now I want a bowl of either rojo or verde...
 
Pacman cake because a certain lil monster is allergic to mango so had to take out a slice to make her raspberry cake instead.
