Mushroom-filled polenta bake

Made a vegetarian meal for Jill and her family. Menu: Starter - cheese biscuits with de luxe Waldorf salad. The pic doesn't look great, but the taste was stunning. Main - mushroom-filled polenta bake, cheese and thyme cream sauce, sticky onions and pine nuts. Served with spinach, cranberry, avo salad and pickled cauliflower. Yes, I made these same two salad last weekend. Dessert - fresh strawberries. Teatime: best chocolate biscuits, ever! You bake them with the icing sugar coating.
The day was so relaxed, I enjoyed it so much.


Tourist in my own city (continued)

On Saturday we took the City tour bus around Jo'burg. It was fun, but we started too late in the day to explore all the hop-off opportunities. I gave my other camera to Kobus so he could take photos while I was concentrating on close-up shots. His range of pics (which you'll see more of in later posts) are great. Thank you, Kobus.
