And eight came to dinner

We owed a number of people dinner. On our previous trips to Dingle we been welcomed into several people's houses for dinner, sometimes on more than one occasion. We definitely needed to repay the generosity and choose Saturday evening as the ideal time. Eight were us two, AM, R&S and T&M. And Jess Kidd, author of Himself a brilliant novel who was appearing at the festival and stayed over an extra night with us.

Because we were spending the day out and about we had to prepare the meal like a military operation and in fact the day before.

Beginning with smoked haddock and asparagus soup  - which was delicious if I say so myself. The asparagus came all the way from the other side of Ballyferriter.

Main course was a Mary Berry's Chicken & Dijon with a vegetarian dish from The Happy Pear.

Finished off with the classic rice pudding, which sadly whilst being scummy had stayed in the oven for a little too long.

A lovely evening was had by all, we think anyway.
