Day 4 and an EPIC stress-fest unfolded. Jem and I attempted Hamilton Squash (p226), Baked New Potatoes (p211), Honeymoon Spaghetti (p126) AND Marinated Pork Fillet on Rhubarb (p174).
Timing was the biggest difficulty, we took on a big task and Jazz Carlin, Adam Mallett, Meg Gilgrist, Rob Welbourne and Martin Littlefair were our testers. Error on the length of waiting time for swimmers after a long practice, waiting around with the anticipation of this meal that we had promised to be amazing...what if it wasn't?! We probably should have stuck to one easy dish that wouldn't take an hour and a half to get ready, by the time they piled in to fill their plates Jem and I were exhausted!
Silence and they filled their plates and silence as they ate it...what did that mean? Didn't they like it, and were they just too polite to say so?
Pork demolished; defiantly a hit! Squash maybe not cooked fully and was tasty but could have been better. Potatoes: Good. Spaghetti might have had a few too many chilli's in for my liking and most had a dab on by the end of their portion.
All in all I would call it a success, can't always please everyone. I hope they weren't all just being polite and that it actually was good like they said!
