Eurovision Pudding Party - Douze points!!
No Comments »Eurovision - what a great excuse for a party!! And every good party needs….puddings! Well its more a combination of two separate ideas really, we have had a Eurovision party previously, and before that we had a pudding party, both held at a very unusual house built by some friends out at Necton which once again was the host venue. The basic idea was that everyone brought a pudding to share, and we spent the evening listening to songs, good, bad and some distinctly odd, shouting at the TV during the scoring!
We joined in the sweepstake, but between us drawing Poland, Israel and Lithuania we had a sneaking suspicion we wouldn’t win…….!!
As far as food goes, despite Sherrie promising “nibbles”, we have more of a feast awaiting us when we arrived, not leaving much room for puddings, but with a gap of a few hours in between we gave them our best efforts! As usual, and along the same lines as Sherrie, I had as usual got a bit carried away in the kitchen during the day and managed to take three puddings and some freshly baked breadsticks. I will post the recipes for the Chocolate Meringue Pie (think lemon meringue with a difference) and the white choc chip scones with vodka strawberries on here later, the chocolate apple pie wasn’t in my opinion quite as nice and was basically just a twist on a normal apple pie. The first two were something quite special though - I’d be hard pushed to say which was my favourite .
Of course the evening was also an excuse for disposing of a few alcoholic beverages, as most of us stayed overnight - unlike some of the others, for some reason I seem to have lost the desire to drink for the sake of it, sticking to one bottle of beer and a single vodka and coke - I must be losing my touch, and will certainly be out of practice come the KL Plus mid-summer party - that really doesn’t bode well…….
