On Thursday evening Helen and Rob had organised 'a curry night for 15' at their house with all the neighbours and friends we had met last year when we were here.
Helen was very well organised with everyone knowing exactly what to bring, from starters, to mains and accompaniments, to dessert. My contribution was the starters so I made samosas, pakora and crunchy papadoms with a fresh veg topping and mango sauce. We had a wonderful selection of mains and sambals and breads (accompaniments) which was then followed by Helen's polenta cake and fresh fruit
.
Starters were enjoyed outside as the regular afternoon thunderstorm hadn't quite arrived. The rest of the meal was all a sitting down affair. Now that they are living in Medlow Bath they have had two households of furniture (prior to this Medlow Bath was their holiday house) and 'stuff' so they were able to accommodate 15 at two tables.
We all had a very enjoyable evening with lots of good food and lots of talking. We are really most appreciative of all the the planning and effort Helen and Rob put in to organising this event and the opportunity it gave us to reconnect with all the friends we are made last year.
