A dining extravaganza

We had a lovely dinner here last night with family but Vin and I forgot to take any photos of the dishes, although we had intended to. We had seafood chowder to start with then a lovely rack of pork and ended up with bavarois, a sort of egg custard. We had to upend the bavarois so it was set in individual moulds but we got them out without them breaking.
Vince had a coulis (sauce) with blueberries and interestingly the coulis was a deep red. I thought it would have been more blue. We put a dab of cream on each serve and several strawberry pieces.
I still don’t feel like anything to eat although I didn’t over-indulge. However, it’s not often I have three courses nowadays.
The photo shows one of the desserts we had on the Queen Mary cruise ship. It’s sort of the shape of our bavarois.

@JudyEv Whether or not it's a compliment depends very much on your view of millenials 
We're currently dealing with a pretty tragic situation at home and I needed a distraction so I thought where better than myLot? Good chat, wonderful people.
I've missed it.

@allknowing Very definitely if you're talking about the bavarois but if you're talking about the photo taken on the Queen Mary it's mine.

We bought blueberries and cooked them and they were red when cooked. We wouldn't have believed it either if we hadn't actually cooked it. I've written about it now and attached a photo. It's a very deep red but I don't think you could call it blue.

That's very pretty although I don't know if it would taste very good. (I've never seen anything like that.)
You're always supposed to be ready with a camera! You know how much we love seeing the pictures you and Vince take!

@Ronrybs Since we moved, we have barely enough of anything if we have a dinner party for seven. As it was, we had to borrow three chairs. We actually had plastic chairs but they're a bit low and as Vince's brother was coming he kindly brought three chairs with him. But it was a good excuse to abuse him because they were dark leather and not cream like ours.
This may not seem to have much to do with washing up but I had to wash some cutlery between courses which reminded me of the chairs.

@JudyEv tell once you won't be satisfied until his plate looks like the one from the Queen Mary.

@snowy22315 The presentation was to drool over - except they didn't really want you drooling on their desserts. Here's a terrine entree.

Glad that you enjoyed the dinner extravaganza. And this presentation of the dessert makes it so tempting..
Even I am not able to eat three course meals now. I am full till rim and feel heavy for couple of days. Light meals are more enjoyable.

@arunima25 Diabetes does change the way you need to eat.

@JudyEv That's what happens to my family too. After a good feasting, we all go for a day of fasting or light fruits till we get back to normal . But being a diabetic, I can't go for feasting or fasting. So, I stick to my moderate intake.

@BelleStarr I thought that in MKR they get really narky with each other - quite hostile sometimes. I don't like that part of it.

The dessert looks tempting. I love dessert after dinner. I usually eat less and there take four courses a day. Breakfast, Lunch, supper and dinner. I have stopped going out for dinner.

@aninditasen That's our main reason for staying home too. There is a new strain in our country now and numbers are climbing again.

@JudyEv It's not that expensive in India. We can go out for dinner but we stay back thinking of the covid infection.
