One week later....

Here we go again

Last Saturday 

our local Polo Club

celebrated it's centenary

and we fed 90 this time

same three sided tin shed

only now we wanted it to feel as though

you were in a marquee

by the river and among the gums!

we had planned lovely wicker seating outside

 with cream market umbrellas 

only to wake up to one of the wettest days

this winter

The teams arrived and after inspecting the entrance to the field

they deemed it advisable to unload the horses

on the road and walk them in

whilst this was going on we were still busy 

 dressing the shed

the wife of one of the older players

 did the paintings hanging on the drop sheets 

and donated them to the Polo club

they were absolutely wonderful

and we had all sorts of memorabilia scattered around

of course I forgot to take photos of the nibbles but this was 

our entree (first course)  alternate serves of

terrine with beetroot jam and rocket or 

Bree with red apple slices, caramelized balsamic and

Parmesan crisps

Main course was our pumpkin salad from here

medium roast beef with bordelaise sauce 

or roast pork with apple chips cooked in maple syrup

and of course once again I forgot to capture this on film!

so onto dessert of rich chocolate and raspberries

with whipped cream and marscapone

or shortbread hearts filled with marscapone, cream and brandy

and just poached strawberries

whilst we cooked, prepared and served up 

the polo teams played a round robin

 in the absolutely pouring rain

but our guests seemed to enjoy themselves despite the

weather and were still there after we had packed up 

and gone home.

Yesterday was spent washing up and packing away

and that's the finish of our catering until

the ram sale next month

but that's only morning tea and BBQ lunch

just a breeze for us girls!!

goodnight
