Last night Roger and I ventured out on our intrepid trains (doing work on the line for 9 days while it is school holidays) to go to Kevin and Mark's place in Basel for a dinner party. We arrived rather stressed and hassled from just getting there. It took us 2 hours when the trip would normally take just 1 hour. We were greeted with champagne at the door, happy smiles and a big welcome. What a treat. (Yummy nibbles as well).
It was disappointing that Val was not well so he missed out on all the fun. Anna made up for it!Kevin and Mark's apartment is such a treat to be in. Beautifully decorated with lots of their treasures and a real comfy, homey feel. We had lots of lively chatting and good company together.
Must share the menu with you, which was printed beside our place settings:
Nuesslisalat with chopped egg, bacon bits and dressing
Mediterranean stuffed salmon fillets with lime hollandaise
Thai-Style Red Beef Curry on Jasmine Rice
Raspberry & Strawberry sorbet
Ginger, Almond & Fig Meringue - cream optional
Coffee & Friandises
All these photo's were taken at Mark's 40th Birthday back in August.

Sounds like a lovely evening :) Did you enjoy your featured day? Food sounds yummy too... even a bit posh!! ;) xo
That's quite an extravagant menu - looks lovely.
Question: What is Neusslisalat?
What a treat! You both looked lovely too! Sorry for my online absence of late...I'm back now!!!
Thanks for lovely comments.
Yes Joce, I did enjoy my featured day, even though I was "you know where!!!" Dinner was POSH!!
Pat, Neusslisalat is a type of lettuce. Looks a bit like flower leaves but tastes very yummy. I hadn't had it before we came here.
Lou, I realize you have been very busy with blogging. I just can't keep up I'm sorry!
