I think it's fair to say I'm looking forward to it. Now, before you ask....I didn't do this on a budget; entertaining and entertainment is an entirely different budget altogether. The scallops were bought from the lovely fishmongers in Glasgow, the chicken is free range and the champagne, cold! Everyone needs to go all out once in a while, don't you think? I'll be posting pictures and the recipes, all going well!
Cheers!
