Jean's Birthday

We  had a family meal on Friday with Katherine, Erin and Rhys.  Finger food and Jean's chocolate cake that she cooked by a new receipt which unfortunately did not meet her usual standards.  But it tasted not too bad to me.

Cheers!

Jean and I went to Braidwoods Restaurant by Dalry on Saturday for lunch. Excellent food - high quality but not quite a filling lunch for me.

Jean had duck confit followed by pork loin. I had pea and lettuce soap, rabbit wrapped in pancetta and stuffed with mushroom. We both had  choc truffle cake with salted caramel ice cream. The coffee and hand made chocolates finished the meal. I really like their coffee. Just the right degree of bitterness.

A wild day which was bitterly cold. The open fire in the restaurent put a smile on the face.  Due to the heavy snow half the tables for the previous evening had cancelled. Once again Ayr was in its own special snow free zone. We were not hit as hard.
