What a fabulous menu! I love the starter… grilled halloumi is one of my faves! and aubergine with mince is also an all time classic favorite. Nice sharp images as well!

@AF And when you do, I want photos- no, actually, I want an invitation.

@Oz If you can make a mistake in the kitchen then I am exonerated. Kitchen Butterfly making a mistake in the kitchen? Seems rather unlikely. Can we have some proof, please? I love the pears you poached in Beaujolais. Gorgeous.

So sorry the desert flopped….reminds me of my ‘zebra cake’ last week, which ended up more like mud cake than anything else. However, on an uplifting note, I have made and blogged about red-wine poached pears that have me addicted…to the high heavens!

@Zurin Thank your for visiting, I hope you have the opportunity to visit Kenya, one day. I would adore to visit Malaysia, your beautiful country.

@Kavey Thanks so much, dear. Sorry Kavey, am so clueless- have so much more to learn about blogging- shall look into the RSS feed thing and get back to you.

@Azita Buon weekend to you, too. Many thanks.

@Lizzie Thanks so much for visiting. Honestly, Lizzie, poaching is easy-peasy. I am nowhere close to being a ‘precisionist’ or a good baker, (unlike you- you bake amazing treats). People say you should place the pears in the poaching liquid and rest a small lid on top so they are weighed down and poach evenly- I am too lazy to do that. I just threw them in and it worked- poach for as long as you like- I like my pears less squidgy.

I need to explore poached pears further, I have minimal experience with them.

I am very excited about your Afghani aubergine recipe – aubergines are my most favourite vegetable ever.

I can’t wait to read your dill rice post. Love the safari story and the pear dessert. Have a wonderful weekend.
