We had about 12 friends over for dinner last night. The menu was:
Starters
Roasted Mixed Nuts with Rosemary
Cheeses
Olive Oil Crackers from Surfas
Herb Jam
Tomato Jam
Potato Onion Fritata with Salsa Verde
Two Salads
Poblanos Rajas Salad with Smoked White Fish
Farmer and The Cook Greens Special brought by Steve
Main Event
Smokey Peanut Mole with Grilled Pork Tenderloin
Oven Baked Polenta
Sauteed Mixed Greens with Raisins and Almonds
Leeks Simmered in Olive Oil
And Liz brought some yummy vegetable Soup
Desert
Flan
If only Jake and Kim had been here, then there would have been the perfect cocktail to go with it. The biggest hit of the evening was the Herb Jam. So recipe follows.

people do not go back for seconds on polenta unless it is really good, and I have never had better polenta, a simple dish one may say, but still, often merely ruined mush.
I notice that when Kira cooks you dinner it is not actually dinner; instead she makes breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert and then she sends tomorrow's dinner home to me (Olivia) who (sadly) was at a Happy Valley School parent meeting...so sorry I missed it
