A welcome home

I had the loveliest welcome home dinner with my parents at l’Ecrivain. I have heard Mum & Dad talk about all the celebratory meals they have enjoyed here so when Mum told me we were going I was very excited.

From the minute we walked in and ordered a pre-dinner drink the entertainment began. All the lovely people started to arrive and the fashion was something to behold. Dad was finding it hard to have a conversation with Mum and I as our eyes were constantly following the next fancy outfit to walk past.

We had the most fantastic meal starting with a Foie Gras entrée that was only divine. The presentation was beautiful but unfortunately the lighting was more on the mood lighting side so I couldn’t take a photo that would do it justice. Our main course was a very luxurious lobster. All the hard work had already been done for us as the succulent meat was already removed from the shell and placed on the plate under the lobster’s head. It was a very extravagant meal and there were constant mmmm’s as we ate and drank.

At the end of the meal while we were having our coffees we were presented with a plate of chocolate truffles and a lovely welcome back message. Apparently my Dad had requested a special table for us and had told the staff we were celebrating my brief return home. Aren’t Dad’s great?

I am so fortunate to have a family that enjoys food as much as I do. In general when we are together we organise our time around food. What better way to enjoy yourself?
