The Last Dinner

Well, Derek leaves this week for New Orleans (Joni's sticking around to finish out some projects at work), so we had them around last night to say good-bye, which is impossibly hard so we just didn't mention it. I thought it would be fun to have a Scottish meal that wasn't Haggis, neeps & tatties. So, we had smoked mackerel pate (which I made from the smoked mackerel Bob & Lynne did - see earlier post) on oatcakes to start; roasted lamb (with garlic & rosemary), stuffed courgettes and fresh allotment potatoes for the main; and finished with apple crumble.

During the feasting, Bob came round to say he had caught another 9 (!!) mackerel and would we like some. So, the boys had a fun time gutting a couple of them.
