my lovely Halloween

Last Saturday it was also my birthday - and the first of a series of cookery lessons by my friend Nadia who is a chef and a great teacher and also a fellow weaver and spinner. After all the necessary explanations and cooking time we literally devoured the rice timballo and the croque monsieurs - this is always the best part of the course: when we get to eat the result of the recipes!
Also, thank you Margreet for the best birthday card ever!
