Mother's Day & Sparklers

Can you think of a better way to spend mother's day than with a bunch of sparkling wine (and yes some mothers)? I took a ton of pictures (of chicken lovers and thankfully no chicken livers) some of which are on:

But for the blog the pictures of the food and wine are key - certainly can't releate them to a secondary site.

Wine details with my tasting notes can be found here:

Marc started us off with a salad

Next i grilled up some lime-ginger prawns



served on a bed of cucumber and lettuce



Next Marc served up home grown poached eggs with asparagus and topped with fried prosciutto.

Gotta love those domestic chickens. Or as Arman said, 'daddy these chickens are wuvwee'.



And an heirloom tomatoe slice to boot. Whoa mother!


Chased by some fine Belgian chocolates.


I am taking pictures of food in the same way that my dad used to. Back then I'd roll my eyes.

The Gosset 1998 comes with a small booklet on a string. Who do they think they are they fooling?

And collecting the refuse to reuse for when we bottle our sparkling mead. If all goes well that is. It has been 12 hours since we pitched the yeast into the must, and there is absolutely no sign of action.

Patience is a virtue. For now at least.
