We were at our friend Megan's on Sun for the traditional Sunday get together and it was a rather large gathering this time round with 8 of us! Everyone helped out in some way and it was a very festive evening, much needed in our chaotic world of apartment hunting (and finding!) and all that goes with that.
The centre piece was Megan's roast pork shoulder. In fact, there were 2 shoulders, but one was for the rest of her week! So, there was an entire pork shoulder that had been slow cooking all day basically and was melt in your mouth delicious! There was a non pork eater in the room so some chicken thighs had been done too.

To go with our insanely good meat was some mashed carrots and turnip, garlic/soya sauce stir fried cabbage and roasted yellow beans and asparagus! I had also taken some guava jelly over to go with the meat, which had been brought all the way back from Zambia for me by dear friends. Yum! What a feast. And the mounds of veggies really balanced out the rich meat.
We were treated to 2 desserts! A home made peach pie (similar recipe to the rhubarb pie previously written about, only using cream instead of butter and eggs) and a blueberry mouse cake from 'Irene and Cakes'! The cake was a light, simple sponge which set the stage for the glorious mouse, not too sweet, gorgeous colour as well!
