Hi there everyone,
Tonight I felt we needed a break from chicken or meat (much to the dismay of MAV whom I told to just suck it up buttercup) so I went all seafood. I wanted to try this little bruschetta number too – soooo.
Roasted Pumpkin and Honey Prawn Bruschetta.
I did this with avocado instead of pumpkin. Seasoned the mashed avo with a little salt and pepper and lime juice.
OMG it was sensational!! This is definitely a goer. Mostly 7s and 8s out of 10
It is great finger food too because you can serve one or two prawns on a sliced and toasted French stick. Easy to manage and very informal. After marinating the prawns, I just threw them on the BBQ for a few minutes, topped the bread with avocado and a little sour cream, then the prawns and drizzled the juices over. Scrumptilious! Perhaps we should just have a whole meal of these little beauties.
Bloody Mary Crab Pasta.
Naaah! Not so great. Bland and just didn’t have a kick to it. I gave it a 3. Everyone else said around 6 but seriously I didn’t even finish it. It looked great and the combination of ingredients screamed YUM so you can imagine how disappointed I was. I kept thinking what I could have done to juju it up a bit. Maybe next time a dash of Tabasco and sour cream or crème fraiche would work. I will let you know if I try it again. Not to worry, after all this is the whole point of my blog – the good, the bad and the tasteless!
Now as for dessert – well I gave in to a busy day and bought Wicked Sisters Crème Caramel. They were on special at Woolies. My god, these are hard to beat and even harder to make them any better myself. You know what, I have been using these on and off for some time and the MAV has always believed me when I said I made them. Who am I to disagree with him??????? I left them in plain sight in the fridge, go figure.
It’s all fun, so until next week …….
From my table to yours with love.
