magic box

The last few weeks seem to have been punctuated by some great sharing of life over the dinner table, and accompanied by some fabulous food and wine. Highlights include a number of dinners with the Tollans both at their house and at ours, an Indian Banquet with the Coomes, and of course the infamous ‘Magic Box’ trial run dinner which Jean cooked for us at our house. The food was so great that I took some pics so you can all salivate jealously!
