Sat, Aug 9 - Nady's b-day encore

11.49h - a home made German cheesecake, for Nady's b-day dinner tonight. Yes, this is what a German cheese cake is supposed to look like.14.43h - Ritesh fixed up some lunch, hummus w/ cucumbers and tomatoes, at home.
19.30h - Nady brought treasures from her garden! Check out these heirlooms - we're in tomato heaven! Thanks, Nady! Plus there's more - lemons, oranges, kumquats, figs ! We'll be feasting tomorrow, and the rest of the week...
19.58h - what was left of Ritesh's guacamole when I remembered to take a picture. In the end, we pretty much demolished an entire bag of tortilla chips and 4 avocados worth of guac. And this was just appetizers :)
20.00h - mache w/ a yogurt-honey-mustard dressing and fresh red currants, w/ Nady, David, Mingus and Ritesh
20.10h - Ritesh's signature roasted chicken. We couldn't roast a pig for Nady's b-day, so we figured, at least a chicken...
20.17h - the roasted chicken, all taken apart, with fennel decor
20.17h - potatoes and fennel from the roasting pan
21.7h - and a piece of German cheesecake w/ a faint lavender note. A little too faint (I just added some to the crust, like Surfas does with their lavender lemon bars). Will use more next time.
