guess who is coming to dinner?

I received Jamie's 30 minute meals as a little pressie.  Last night I tried to put a page to the test.  The caulifower macaroni, chicory salad with insane basil and anchovy dressing and stewed peaches with vanilla ice cream.  I was doing well until I realised at 5pm after waking from a glorious afternoon kip ( we still have 4am starts with our little man) that  in fact we did not have all the ingredients.  Quick dash to Coles.  Back at 5.30 pm.  Used  a packet italian salad with radicchio instead and had pears instead of peaches.  Well in my small kitchen with hardly any bench space and not owning a food processor, it took me an hour.  But can I say the caulifower macaroni was a big hit, little man loved it and yes the basil anchovie dressing is deliciously insane.  Little man pulled a few faces with this one though.

Have you tried the 30 minute meal test?  What do think of Jamie?

I would be pretty proud if he were my son.

Anyway conversation around the dinner table was quick as  a little someone  becomes bored quickly and is still prone to a bit of food throwing if we get our timing wrong.  But a topic keeps coming up.  If you could invite anybody in the world to a dinner party , who would you ask?

Here is my list:

Jamie (he can help with the cooking)

Mick Jagger

Jim Jarmusch

Germaine Greer

The Dalai Lama

Micheal Nyman (composer for The piano).

Salmon Rushdie

Aung san suu kyi (hopefully free to do so)

I think conversation would be pretty interesting.  Now a few more come to mind but a dinner part for 8 guests would probably be my limit.


Big question really, but who would you like to invite?
