One of the dishes for the birthday party today. Before the basil dressing went on. Could have shared it with Emma!!

Oooh Tim, that's one of my favorite dishes, looks wonderful.  :D Who's birthday?

No 1 daughter - 50!

Are those slices of mozzarella cheese between the avos and toms.?

Did you save some for me ??

Who cares Ani!   What a waste with something as yucky as avocado!  I reckon its one of those love/hate things like marmite.

Have to say though it is very colourful even if not edible ;)

Ani - yes.

Icy -  say one more thing about Marmite & you're out of the pack!!

Tim - I take that as a no then.  It all got scoffed eh ?  :(

Tim, that looks so impressive. What's the basil dressing recipe, please? I just love avos, in SA you could buy a tray of them for next to nothing, now it's something I only allow myself if I think I deserve a treat.

Well, I think it looks absolutely glorious, and bet it tasted grand also!  A favourite combination for me, with or without a dressing, but with some lovely crusty, warm, recently baked bread.

Hope your daughter had a lovely birthday Tim, and wishing her many happy returns!

Sorry, Baggy - yes, all gone. Wasn't nearly enough, even though 8 mozzies!!

Ani - we do it 2 Extra Virgin to 1 Cider Vinegar - 2 tsp Sugar - s&p (I prefer Green to Black Pepper) - as much Basil as you can spare (eg at least half a market potful). Process.

Emma - yes - but she's the bed-maker & laundry girl - for 8 guest beds -  & Aunt to 8 children & general bossy-boots, so she was knackered by the end of it.

Bread? Ciabatta for me!

looks lovely! (and actually something I can eat!)

I had a very tasty cheese, tomato and avocado sandwich on saturday, but I had emmanthal as it was all we had!)

basil dressing sounds yum too!

Looks fab Tim.

Was it all grown by your fair hands ;)

Debs

YES!! We have our own Buffaloes. Avocado bushes & Olive trees.

But we do grow Tomatoes & Basil!!

EEEk    Will shut up on marmite just so my lottie survives a full year of my abuse!

Dressing sounds really good though.  Basil is something I love.

MMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm   MARMITE! On toast, with lashings of butter, after a night out!  Slurp

YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKK

That looks so delicious Tim, and also a treat for the eyes, as it is displayed so perfectly on that dish. Happy birthday to your daughter too on her special day, hope it was a very happy occasion.  :) busy_lizzie
