Firstly, you'll have to excuse my watermark on the following photos. I'm experimenting with the watermark at the moment as I think this site is due for a design refresh... and looking at these photos just again now... they look ridiculously big! < rant > I wouldn't even need to use a watermark if people stopped linking to my images direct from the jenius.com.au domain. I don't enjoy paying for the hosting of my images on YOUR site!! < /rant >
It was only 2 weeks ago that we had attended Eugenia's Hens Night... and now she's married & off on the honeymoon! Saturday, 24th November was a day to remember...
Congratulations Mr and Mrs Tello!!! :-D
The food first; the reception was held at Liverpool Golf Club. We were spoilt with wall-sized window views of the golf course over sunset... and a delicious three course meal. There were starters for us to nibble on... calamari rings, samosa triangles and spring rolls, all goldenly fried.


Entree was a salad with cooked medium prawns, garnished with bits of dill. It was leafy and refreshing. There were alternate servings, so Zen had the second entree which was a tomato-based pasta dish.

Then with the main course, some of us ate a tender pepper crusted sirloin fillet with crispy sweet potatoes and a side of herb and garlic potatoes and seasonal vegetables. I had the over-baked chicken breast with sage which was a little dry, although compensated with a creamy mustard sauce and the same hearty herb & garlic potatoes and vegies.

Dessert at the Golf Club was underrated. I finished off the best pavlova I've ever had... craving for more. The meringue base was perfectly dressed with cream, fruit and a divine passionfruit sauce. I wonder if the same pavlova is served on a normal business day?

The alternate dessert were strawberries marinated in port wine and served with ice-cream. These were coincidentally similar to those at Machiavelli.

Just look at this beautiful cake... I was a little too full to try any, but I'm sure it tasted as good as it looks!

And finally, working backwards... here are some pics from the ceremony and the early bits of the reception:
