Leigh Yenrick joined me for a blueberry pie, celebrating the last LOTRs episode. This keto/gluten free/sugar free pie fell apart as soon as I cut into it but it was still super tasty. The leftover blueberries went into a whiskey smash with rosemary, making for a pretty awesome dessert.

Owen Hickle-Edwards joined me for second breakfast/my very first quiche!

Amanda Abbott joined me as I recreated the Prancing Pony’s famous Trewsdale special. My interpretation of this welcoming meal was a hearty mushroom soup, paired with freshly baked soda bread, and cold cuts. No meal from the Prancing Pony would be complete without sharing a pint with a friend, so we got ourselves a couple of those too.
