Apart from chilling out BIG stylie, watching DVDs, chatting, laughing, crafting we had our very own Come Dine With Me experience.
First up was Roz with Breakfast at Tiffany's:
Bucks Fizz to start
Muffins with smoked salmon and dill. The other girls had a wonderful poached egg and hollandaise sauce with theirs, but as I can't eat egg, this was my 2nd course & delish it was too!
Followed by waffles, served with maple syrup and creme fraiche. With a wonderful cup of tea, served in china cups and saucers.
Kirsty wasn't hung over; she was being all Audrey Hepburn and wearing her shades indoors
This is a picture you'll never see again; me with out make up or eve lipstick (one for the diary!!!)
We wore pearls around our necks.
Oh, how very rude Mrs Wiseman!!! LOL
Janet; at least you posed for me nicely and it's a lovely pic of you too. x
I prepared a picnic for my dining experience;
Pink plates, cups and napkins. Pink lemonade. Little triangular cut sandwiches. Nuts, nibbles, biscuits and crisps.
Followed by pink and white marshmallows, pink Smarties, pink butterfly candles and home made raspberry & chocolate cupcakes with a cream cheese frosting and fondant butterflies.
It's a wonderful setting for the converted barn that we hired; in the Yorkshire Moors with a gorgeous view and, as you can see, an eery full moon shining through the skeleton tree into the living room! Schpooky!
Kirsty had us go all mexican for her experience. But first she drew us each a hat and we had to decorate them in a Mexicano theme.
Roz chose to stitch hers with dangly bits, while looking all moody and butch in her 'tash!
Janet went a little bit camp and premature with her Sombrero (look carefully for a surprise!)
Kirsty wasn't exactly butch with her colour theme either, but she did show us her amazing pair of guns! HAHA!
Me?!! OMG !!! I drew a rather large cactus but my Mexicano has a bit of a problem methinks and was rudely making suggestions to the camera :-o
Sol with lime - only for the hard amongst us!
Or those who like to lick limes...?!
ATG Guns at the ready - gonna shoot my tape all over you if you come any nearer!!!
Cheers Amigo - we scared them off with our sharp rootin' tootin' shootin'!
But when Camp Amigo makes another appearance with the pink ATG gun; the others go all butch and macho and show off their muscles!
Kirsty served us wonderful chicken fajitas, guacamole, refried beans - and a whole Mexicano kit and kaboodle of lush foodiness.
Unfortunately I can't find the pics of Janet's Dining Experience - dunno where they've gone to?!?!?!?! Kirsty and I decorated ourselves a Fez, though I had to write on mine what it was just incase anyone was wondering what that large red squareish thing with a plume of black was on my head.
But she cooked the most amazing Lamb tagine with giant Moroccan cous cous. Served with olives (yeuch!) flatbreads, hummus, mixed nuts, orange & lemon sliced served up with some tasty minted green tea.
Our winner by a unanimous 3 to 1 vote was...... JANETTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!! Though she is yet to share the lamb tagine recipe with us all as we ALL wanted to cook it ourselves ;-)
All in all this is what I thought of my weekend away with the girls...
Loved my relaxing few days in Yorkshire. It's a long drive but so very worth the miles.
Missed the family and was very glad to be home safely again on Monday afternoon to pick my poppet up from school. Now... back to my diet (I NEVER eat as much in a week as I did in those 3 days away!)
