R wearing my grandfather's baptism gown R con la capa de bautizo de mi abuelo |
[ENGLISH] So after the warmest and driest weeks ever we are
now in the middle of some serious rain. I was imagining the almost 20 people we
had over for R’s baptism beautifully spread between our tiny living room and
our patio… but no, it was pouring down so we had to be inside. It worked well
and we had a really good time.
For the catering I did a thermosaturday… I cooked and cooked
and cooked until I thought that the Thermomix was going to pack her stuff and
go back to Spain. For starting we had Salmorejo, Quiche Lorraine and Chicken
and Chorizo Risotto. For sweet, we had Tarta de Santiago, Chocolate Cake and Croissants (only thing I did not make)
with Mango Confiture. We also had cheese boards, olives and lollies. Everything
was really good, and I think that I am now refining the Chicken and Chorizo
risotto recipe enough to share. I will write it down next time I make it. The
chocolate Cake from Velocidad Cuchara was a success with nothing left over.
Tasty and easy, it is really perfect!

We were delighted to have our friends and family over and I
think that everyone had a great time; I would have liked to invite more people
but we simply would not have fitted. Sometimes I really wish that my house was
bigger so I could have people over all the time.
En
cuanto al catering pues lo hice yo… un thermosabado… cociné, y cociné y cociné
hasta que pensé que la Thermomix estaba a punto de hacerse las maletas y
volverse a España (creo que sabe que mi madre no la haría trabajar tan duro).
De salado hice Salmorejo, Quiche Lorraine y Risotto de Pollo y Chorizo. De
dulce, una tarta de Santiago, una de chocolate Fondant y Croissants (lo único que no estaba hecho por mí) con
Confitura de Mango. También unas tablitas de queso, aceitunas y chuches. Todo
estaba buenísimo y creo que ya le estoy cogiendo el punto al risotto de pollo y
chorizo, de aquí a nada igual me animo a publicar la receta. La tarta dechocolate de Velocidad Cuchara fue un exitazo, no quedaron ni las migas. Rica y
fácil, perfecta!
Nos encantó
tener amigos y familia en casa, y creo que todos lo pasamos muy bien aunque a mí
me hubiese gustado invitar a más gente. La verdad es que me encantaría tener un
salón más grande para poder invitar a más gente más a menudo.
